Hôtel des Marronniers

St-Germain & Les Invalides


At the end of a small courtyard 30m from the main street, this flouncy (verging on kitsch), 37-room hotel has a conservatory leading to a magical garden – the highlight of a stay here. From the 3rd floor up, some rooms peep out onto the garden while those on the 5th and 6th floors ogle at Parisian rooftops. Breakfast €15.
