The Hotel: This handsome dormered 18th-century building was once a private mansion; now its 20 rooms (along with a firelit lobby and a stone cellar–cum–breakfast alcove) are overseen by a friendly, impressively multilingual staff. Guest quarters are small, but prettily and individually decorated with antique wood furniture, fresh white linens, and understated floral fabrics, like a maison de campagne.
The Locale: Set on a quiet Sixth Arrondissement street between Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Montparnasse, the hotel is a perfect base for exploring Paris’s most famous sights. The Luxembourg Gardens and the city’s oldest church, Saint-Germain-des-Prés (not to mention its most venerable department store, Le Bon Marché) are just a 10-minute walk away; Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, and the Eiffel Tower are just 15 minutes away by metro.
