Hôtel Montalembert ★★★★★

Initially opened in 1926, Hôtel Montalembert ***** was the first ever 5-star boutique hotel to grace the Left Bank. It still carries the tradition of the neighbourhood with pride but has been thoroughly updated since to ensure it responds to – and often supersedes – all the 5-star needs of its guests. A discreet entrance opens into a subtly sumptuous lobby that sets the tone for your stay. Original cage lifts and spiral staircases are evocative of the area’s glamorous heyday, while deep navy walls matched with expertly picked furniture manage to achieve the elusive combination of contemporary, exclusive and cosy.

Your room is just as chic and welcoming, with muted colours, clean design lines and luxury goods creating a space you’ll look forward to spending time in. It’s clear every detail has been carefully thought out, with TVs displayed in frames like works of art, dark sleek panelling broken up by gilded accents, and unique statement lighting adding an extra homely feel. Although situated so centrally, the Rue Montalembert itself is the picture of quiet, genteel seclusion and you’ll enjoy an excellent night’s rest here.

Throughout the hotel you’ll enjoy that same feeling of undisturbed comfort, whether dining in the restaurant or snuggling into an armchair in front of the fireplace in the bar. This is the flawless Parisian home we all wish we had, and each time you’re here, you can fully enjoy life as a resident of Saint-Germain and Hôtel Montalembert *****.
