Bottom Line

The 22-room Hotel Sainte-Beuve is an upper-middle-range boutique hotel situated on a tranquil street that's within a five-minute walk of the Luxembourg Gardens. At once chic and homey, the well-appointed interiors are charming and inviting, doused in crimson shades that complement the wooden floors and furniture. There are plenty of comfortable couches and armchairs that invite lingering before the fireplace in the lobby lounge, or with a cocktail in the adjoining lobby bar. Rooms are small yet stylish, with vintage furniture and modern bathrooms with towel warmers, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms have lovely balconies overlooking the street. The nearby Hotel Le Six, though a tad pricier, has a fitness room, spa, and hammam.

Hotel Sainte Beuve

Scene

Charming boutique hotel with chic and cozy interiors near the Luxembourg Gardens

The lobby lounge at the Hotel Sainte-Beuve blends the warmth of a cozy, inviting living room with the elegance of a classy parlor. The space is chic and vibrantly colored in rich crimson and purple hues that pair well with the more earthy tones of the wooden floors and wicker baskets. Comfortable armchairs and sofas set alongside a coffee table create an intimate seating area, which is illuminated by large windows shrouded in floral curtains. White columns give a  regal touch, and flowers  provide bursts of freshness. Newspapers are on hand in a wooden crate, and the cushioned sofas draped in blankets invite lingering by the marble fireplace. The lobby bar abuts, and is equally cozy and homey yet fiercely chic and elegant. Red walls and couches in shades of burgundy complement the wooden furnishings and floor, and there's plenty of stylish knickknacks about, as well as abstract paintings, glass vases full of seashells, and square-shaped shelving behind the bar displaying books and bottles of booze.

There's no fitness center, business center, or on-site restaurant, but the hotel's charming decor, welcoming atmosphere, and attention to details has many guests returning. There's free Wi-Fi, and the spacious top floor suite is suitable for families or groups.
