Located between Notre Dame and the Louvre, this eighteenth century building has recently been renovated to provide guests with all the modern comforts one expects. |
|

|
This iconic left-bank hotel, set in the heart of St Germain des Pres, was originally part of the Palace of Queen Margot. |
|
|
|
Its primary historical aspect, however, is that it was here that Oscar Wilde lived during the last few years of his life and finally died on November 30th 1900. Indeed, it was while in Room 16 of the then Hotel d’Alsace he uttered the famous lines: 'My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us must go.’ |

The décor is much improved these days. |
|
A Landmark of Paris’ left bank since 1913, The Victoria Palace has maintained the elegance for which it has long been associated (it consistently rates highly on independent travel review websites). Located between Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Montparnasse, the hotel has 62 spacious rooms and suites to suit all types of guest, be they seeking a romantic weekend break or visiting the capital on business |
|
Despite being close to the centre of bustling Paris, the seventeenth century St. James & Albany - once the home of the Dukes of Noailles - is a haven of tranquility, surrounded by gardens and courtyards. As such, it is the ideal choice of accommodation for those seeking to explore the city while retreating to a quiet haven. The hotel is conveniently located between the Opera, Louvre and Champs Elysees. |
|
Built during the 18th century it once housed the British Embassy, but today the Hotel D’Angleterre provides excellent accommodation for those seeking to explore the historic city of Paris. Located in a quiet corner of the otherwise bustling left bank, the D’Angleterre is situated within a short walk of the Louvre, Notre Dame cathedral, and the banks of the Seine. |
|
Certainly one of the world’s most famous hotels, the Ritz Paris began life in the eighteenth century as a private dwelling prior to becoming the head office of a financial institution. It finally opened as a hotel on June 1st 1898, and has since played host to countless international dignitaries. |
