Hôtel de l’Abbaye Saint Germain

St-Germain & Les Invalides


It’s the delightfully romantic outside areas that set this hotel apart from the four-star crowd. Swing through the wrought-iron gates and enjoy a moment in the plant- and flower-filled front courtyard, and linger over breakfast served beneath ivy-clad walls on one of the city’s prettiest patios. On weekends there's a minimum two-night stay.
