Facilities

  • All hotel life gathers in the salon, in front of the fire or on the sofas by the bar. There is a shelf of books with a few novels in English and a number of English guides; you are free to borrow them.

  • There is a lift and an original 18th-century staircase too.

  • Taxis are ordered, restaurant tables booked. Umbrellas at the front door guard against the weather.

  • Laundry and dry cleaning can both be arranged. Internet access is available, too

Features include:

  • Room service
  • Bar
  • Breakfast
  • Walk to restaurants (offsite)
  • Internet access
Save to favouritesPrintMailHotel Le Sainte-BeuveThe salon at the front is delightfully warm and welcoming, a magnet for guests passing through. There are Ionian pillars, balls of rose petals, beige sofas, smart red armchairs and a big marble fireplace where flames fly in winter; you can saunter up, pluck a log from the wicker basket and pop it on. A perfect example of a fine owner-run Parisian hotel, where you feel at home the moment you walk through the door: Monsieur is charming, his staff are caring, [r:PA008:bedrooms] are crisply elegant and spotless, the price is spot-on. Jean Pierre, who ran the Brasserie Balzar in the 5th arrondissement, bought the hotel years ago, but is still a mine of knowledge on local restaurants; staff will book tables, supply maps (and umbrellas just in case), so don’t come to diet. You’re down in Montparnasse, off the south-western shores of the Jardin du Luxembourg, so you can walk off any excess amid glorious formal gardens.
