The Best Independent and French-Owned Hotels in Paris Now - AFAR
"Set in a 17th-century mansion on a quiet Saint-Germain-des-Prés street, this long-loved, family-owned hotel (opened 1979) is prized for its secret-garden rooms—four open directly onto the garden—and for 48 antiques-filled rooms dressed in Pierre Frey and Hermès fabrics; evenings center on the honor bar by the fireplace, and the Guerlain Spa occupies the former vaulted kitchen of a 13th-century abbey, reinforcing the property’s intimate, historic charm." - Mary Winston Nicklin, Lindsey Tramuta
