Hôtel du Savoir

The place

Twenty rooms inside a Haussmann building in the 6th arrondissement — an intimate, affordable base between the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain-des-Prés.

The rooms keep to earthy, deep olive tones: floral carpets, elegant furniture, curated artwork. Each comes with French bedding, Terre de Mars bath products, and a work desk; some add a furnished balcony.

Breakfast is a buffet taken across the street, in the breakfast room of Hôtel Belloy St Germain. For everything else, Saint-Germain-des-Prés is at the door, its cafés and tables close by.
