The 44-room Hotel Royal Saint Germain
is a lovely, mid-range hotel located in the 6th arrondissement with many shops,
restaurants, bars, and metro stations nearby. Rooms are a bit small, but charming with floral wallpaper, tasteful decor, and modern comforts like flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The hotel has limited amenities, but a free continental breakfast is included if booked through the hotel’s website, and there’s an elegant lounge space where guests can enjoy a drink or coffee. Travelers seeking hotels in the area might also want to compare rates with Hotel Edouard VI, a similar property down the street.
Scene
Cozy hotel with lovely parlor lounge
The entrance to the Hotel
Royal Saint Germain is tucked between two store fronts on a busy street. The picturesque exterior of the 17th-century building is filled with flower boxes hanging from Juliet balconies. Inside, the former private mansion has an
elegant feel, and though there isn’t much of a lobby (the crimson front desk is almost
hidden beneath a stairway), there's a lovely lounge filled with
eclectic furnishings and black-and-gold patterned wallpaper. The living room-like space features antique pieces, framed artwork, a vibrant oriental rug, and flower boxes in the large windows. A blue fabric couch and chairs clustered around wooden tables offer places for guests to sit
and enjoy a drink, while a pitcher of water and bowl of scones are thoughtful
touches. The hallways are less appealing with dated carpeting, and the elevator is quite small.
Location
Located on a busy street close to the Luxembourg Gardens and many restaurants and shops
Hotel Royal Saint Germain
is located on Rue de Rennes, a lively street with plenty of shopping in the
6th arrondissement near the Saint-Germain-de-Pres area known for its
cafes and bars. The Luxembourg Gardens are around a 10-minute walk away, and there
are lots of restaurants in the area. There are several metro stops nearby,
putting both the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre within a 30-minute ride on public
transportation. Charles de Gaulle Airport is about an hour away.
Rooms
Small, charming rooms with floral wallpaper and modern bathrooms
Rooms at the hotel are
small, but tastefully appointed with charming decor that includes floral wallpaper and matching curtains or bedspreads, as well as wooden
Queen Anne style desks and nightstands. Some rooms have slanted walls, which cut down on space a bit. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, minibars, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are modern, though small, with
basin sinks atop granite vanities and either walk-in rainfall showers or shower/tub
combinations.

accommodating up to 10 guests. Parking is available (for a fee) at an adjoining parking lot.
