Hôtel du Danube Saint Germain

Imagining all the jazz musicians, authors and artists of the fifties and sixties convening in some basement of the sixth arrondissement isn’t hard, because it looks almost exactly the same as it did then. Many of the same cafés frequented by Sartre, Truffaut, and Baldwin are still here for you to enjoy. The Hôtel du Danube Saint Germain is itself steeped in history. It was once a private mansion during the 18th century before it became a hotel, housing the Bohemians of Saint-Germain – and long before that, the landmark Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolutionary War, was signed just next-door!

You’ll be struck by the hotel’s charm. A number of rooms are available, so you can enjoy a stay regardless of whether you’re a family or a lone wolf. Of the hotel’s thirty-nine rooms, not one of them has the same the design as the other - you’re staying somewhere truly unique and authentic, much like Saint-Germains at large. The use of classic, eccentric patterns and beautiful wooden furnishings gives the space a classy, elegant ambience that feels perfectly Parisian, combining Romantic styles with the mid-century aesthetic that the area is most known for.

Tasty continental breakfast buffets are served every morning, so that you can explore Paris on a stomach full of authentic French food. And you’re definitely going to need a full stomach, because you’ll certainly be busy here. There’s always a great deal to see and do, whether big tourist attractions or not. Take to the streets and stroll around - cross the bridge just down the block and you’ll find yourself at the iconic Louvre. Or, take the metro somewhere further out, should something attract your attention. Paris is a lively and diverse city, and the Hôtel du Danube Saint Germain is the perfect place to base your break in an iconic location.
