Setting Sophisticated Saint-Germain

It's six storeys of traditional townhouse, with fancy fixtures, wrought-iron balconies and fashionable fabrics. Space may be limited, but the hotel makes up for it with sophistication – and it’s oh so chic, naturally.

Our favourite rooms
Each of the rooms has been decadently dressed with exotic furniture and textured trimmings; all have canopied beds. Room 42 triumphs in size and has a chocolate, cream and beige palette, with a striped canopy over the bed, an ornate gold mirror and tactile wallpaper. We also like Room 64 on the sixth floor, which is smaller, but has a balcony overlooking Place Saint-Sulpice. For family stays, each floor has a pair of rooms that can be connected to form a suite. If you prefer a bath tub to a walk-in shower, book a Classic or Club room.
Packing tips
Sunglasses, scarves and stilettos to keep up with the super chic of Saint-Germain.
Also
Between 4pm and 6pm, there's afternoon tea in the lounge. Soft drinks and snacks will also be available.
