Scene

Cozy, simple, and elegant 

Situated in a beautiful white,
seven-floor building on the corner of two pedestrian streets, the Parc St.
Severin has a classic charm with floral wallpaper and 1950s kick-back
furniture. The small lobby features a few mustard-colored velvet lounge chairs
and tables with a scarce smattering of mini bronze statues. The adjoining
breakfast room features a clean lineup of small wooden tables with blue velvet
lounge chairs against an aqua-colored wall featuring a print of golden paisley
trees. There is a small elevator but no full restaurant, bar, or outdoor area.

Location

In a quiet but central area of the Latin Quarter in Old Paris

Situated on the corner of two narrow, cobblestone pedestrian
streets in the famous Latin Quarter of Old Paris, this hotel is adjacent to the
13th-century Saint-Séverin and a three-minute walk from the Saint-Michel/Notre-Dame
RER station and a four-minute walk to Fontaine
Saint-Michel. Also within the immediate
vicinity are the Cluny museum, the Sorbonne, and the boulevard Saint Germain
with all of its restaurants and shops. The area is nonetheless quiet and
typical of Old Paris. It is a five-minute walk to Notre Dame, 10
minutes to Ile St Louis, and 15 minutes to the Louvre. By public transportation,
the Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tower are about 30 minutes away.

Rooms

Rooms with terraces are worth the extra cost.

Most of the rooms at this hotel
had been renovated. Although
they are on the small side, rooms are elegant and immaculate with 50s-inspired
furniture; they also, however, include modern touches not always found in Parisian hotels such as satellite
TV, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi access, coffee/tea kettles, safes, and
mini-fridges. There are a few single rooms with small beds. The rooms on higher floors
offer amazing and spacious furnished terraces with incredible views of the city. All rooms aside from the singles have bathtubs -- some
are shower/tub combos and others are tubs with low, handheld showerheads.

Features

Breakfast buffet, room service, and free Wi-Fi

This hotel offers free Wi-Fi
access in rooms, as well as the lounge and breakfast area. A buffet breakfast of
fresh pastries, yogurt, and cereal is served daily for an extra charge and can
also be delivered to the rooms. Room service is available until 2 a.m. Parking
is available nearby but not through the hotel and there is no meeting room, bar, or full restaurant on-site. Hotel staff can arrange laundry service and airport transfers.
