What's the best Parisian hotel in February on the Left Bank?

Question

This February I'm going for a week to Paris for my 16th Birthday instead of a Sweet Sixteen! It's my first time in Paris, and I want a hotel on the Left Bank of the Sienne that is not overly modern but a classic Parisian decoration. A hotel that is close to the Eiffel Tower or the Musee D'Orsay would be amazing!

Plus, I don't want a very "American" hotel, so I want a hotel that has less than 50 rooms, has great service, and is family run.

Any recommendations for restaurants or sites would also be great!

Thanks!

Sarah

Answer 1

Mu favorite hotel is just what you want. Its the Hotel St. Andre des Arts and I've been staying there on trips to Paris for the last 30+ years. Its great. the l;ocation is perfect. You can walk to the Louvre, the Musee D'orsay, Notre Dame, etc etc.

But it really is the antithesis of the modern chain hotel. A sort of Anti-Hilton. No elevator, no TV, no minibar, no room service and the building its in is several centuries old. Its owned by a philosophy professor and his wife, who is an artist.

This hotel is in the St. Germain area near the Metro L'Odeon and is fabulous!
