Relais Saint Jacques

So many lovely hotels to choose from in Paris, but I opted for Relais St Jaques, based on the fantastic reviews it had received & I wasn't disappointed in any way. The location, the beautiful rooms & all the hard working, friendly & thoroughly professional people who work there, made this a perfect Parisian experience. Again, based on the reviews that I had read, I emailed the hotel a few weeks before travelling, asking if it was possible to have a room on the 3rd floor, or above, to take advantage of the Panthéon view. On arrival, we were informed that our room had been upgraded to a room on the 3rd floor with a fantastic view of the Panthéon through the leafy Rue de l'Abbé de l'Épée. Spotlessly clean, bright and airy with L'Occitane toiletries, bathrobes, spa bath, fabulously comfy big bed with great air conditioning, the room and view was beyond excellent Within easy walking distance of the Métro, the Luxembourg gardens, the Panthéon, Notre Dame, the Latin Quarter etc, the hotel is ideally placed and there's also an abundance of quiet little bistros minutes from the front door that offer superb menus. Perfect after a day of sightseeing to be so close to the hotel, away from the crowds and much cheaper than those in the heavily congested tourist areas. The Relais St Jaques is a fabulous hotel. I'll go back there...again and again.

That we weren't staying longer!
