Le Sénat ★★★★

Let’s be honest – there are very few ‘wrong’ areas of Paris to stay in, however there are those which are a cut above the rest. The charming, lively Saint-Germain des Prés, famed for its literary cafés and bars, its book stores and jazz, is the crème de la crème of quintessential Parisian Quarters.

Putting you at the centre of all this, close to both Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter, is the Hôtel le Sénat. Not only is it nestled in one of Paris’ most lively districts, filled with the same restaurants, bars and cafés that existentialist notables Sartre and de Beauvoir frequented, but it’s also only a short distance from many of Paris’ most famed landmarks and sights.

Inside the Hôtel le Sénat, the illustrious historic surroundings take a back seat to contemporary art and design. This hotel is not content to rest on its fantastic location, instead providing you an elegant, modern hotel experience that showcases the best of current Paris… cocktails and drinks at the Honesty Bar, pastries and savoury delights at the breakfast buffet, hotel rooms that are bright and clean, decorated with modern art and – if you’re lucky – a terrace on which to enjoy a glass of fresh orange juice and a croissant as you watch Paris wake up. While Oscar Wilde perished in Saint-Germain with the words ‘Either this wallpaper goes, or I do’, visitors to the Hôtel le Sénat will have no such complaints. The only real fear is leaving before you’ve experienced all that this beautiful chic Parisian hotel has to offer.
