18th-century classic
The Hotel Duc de Saint-Simon is well located in the very heart of Paris, just a short amble from the Esplanade des Invalides and the Eiffel Tower. There are a good number of restaurants in the Saint-Germain-des-Pres area, and just across the River is the Jardin de Tuileries, the Louvre and the Royal Palace.
The Duc de Saint-Simon Hotel is more a private home than a public hotel. With its grandfather clock ticking in the hallway and assorted armchairs in the drawing room, it is an easy place to feel comfortable. This charming boutique hotel offers simple elegance in each of its 34 individually furnished guest rooms, and beautiful antiques are scattered throughout the hotel. Suites feature romantic four-poster beds and several rooms have pleasant terraces. Unlike many boutique hotels in Paris, the Hotel Duc de Saint-Simon offers complete privacy for its discerning guests, including an airport shuttle service or private driver to make transfers easy.
The comfortable rooms and suites are all luxuriously furnished and tastefully decorated with a fresh appeal. French heritage and old artwork cleverly blend with the up-to-date services of satellite TV and free WiFi internet connections. The intriguing labyrinth of rooms includes a stone-walled bar in the cellar and tables and chairs set out in the shady courtyard.
The room service menu would do any top restaurant proud with its carpaccio of tuna, skewers St Jacques and asparagus cannelloni. These delicious offerings, together with first class service, certainly set this boutique hotel apart from the rest.
