City short break in Paris

This charming hotel is converted from a handsome 17th-century building. Located on a quiet side street on the Left Bank, in the Latin Quarter, close to the Sorbonne, Panthéon and Luxembourg Gardens, it remains a popular choice, especially given the friendly and attentive service. There are 31 characterful bedrooms (including some triple and family rooms), all individually styled and many with beams. The rooms and bathrooms have recently been renovated and now include a flat-screen television and air conditioning; all rooms are equipped with a hairdryer, minibar, safe and wireless internet access. The buffet breakfast is served in the atmospheric vaulted cellar and there is a pleasant lounge with exposed stonework and a fireplace.

Paris's unique allure is guaranteed to draw you back time and time again, regardless of how well you know the city. Ever-changing exhibitions and the sheer number of monuments, galleries, museums, shops and markets, impossible to cover in one weekend, mean that you are sure to make a new discovery on every visit. Alternatively, revisit the main attractions to see them in different lights and seasons.

We recommend, however, that you do not overdo the sightseeing – an afternoon spent watching the world go by from a pavement café, soaking up the incomparable atmosphere, can be just as enjoyable. For dinner, the choice is of course endless, from the top gastronomy of Michelin-starred restaurants to informal meals in convivial bistros.

Traveller Reviews of This Trip

Hotel Saint Paul was a little gem and perfect for our first visit to Paris. A quiet location yet close to good eateries and main access to tourist attractions. All staff were very professional and helpful from the chambermaids, breakfast waitress to the reception staff. Breakfast was wonderful and room and bathroom first class, if a little compact. We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Paris. Mr J Merrick, Abbeydale, Gloucestershire, 11/10/2010

The ability to discuss our travel plans with the hotel service personnel in English was a major point for us, since our French is limited. Their assistance in advising how to visit Versailles and Giverney was vital and very welcome. Mr B, Hampshire, 17/08/2009

We had a very good holiday and were very happy with all aspects of your service. The hotel was very well situated with plenty to do within easy walking distance. Inclusion of Metro tickets with the travel pack was a very impressive touch! Mr B, Oxford, 27/03/2008
