Located by the Place Saint-Sulpice in the heart of Paris’s Saint Germain des Prés district the impeccably groomed Hotel de l’Abbaye stands amongst art galleries, antiques dealers, bookshops and the boutiques of the Left Bank, and only a short walk from some of Paris’s prime attractions such as the Musée d’Orsay. The hotel is regarded as something of an unlikely secret in Paris; it lies hidden at the end of a cobblestone courtyard concealing a beautiful terrace garden overflowing with flowers, rustic garden furniture and trees providing shady spots for restful contemplation. Throughout the Hotel de l’Abbaye has a surprising French countryside feel to it, which is unlikely but welcome considering its location in the centre of one of Europe’s busiest capital cities.

Guestrooms are all uniquely decorated in styles incorporating classic French and contemporary modern designs. Luxury floral fabrics and antique furniture fill traditional guestrooms and suites whilst the contrasting contemporary rooms have clean lines and abstract motifs. Apartments open onto a private terrace overlooking the rooftops of Paris. Hotel staff will help to allocate a room that meets your personal preferences and requirements during your stay should you crave rustic French charm or sophisticated European design. Guests can leave the city behind in the serene courtyard garden or stare into the fire in one of the hotel’s three lounges. A bar provides a selection of local and imported drinks and when it’s time for afternoon tea treats such as specially blended teas, fresh fruit juices and sweet pastries are offered up. Services such as free daily newspapers (national and international), fax machines and wireless Internet allow you to stay in touch with family or work colleagues while you are away.

The Left Bank is one of Paris’s most lively and elegant areas and is continuingly popular with Parisians and tourists. Streets such as the Boulevard Saint Germain des Prés, Saint Michel, and Rue d'Ulm team with fashionable boutiques and assorted cafes and the Left Bank has become synonymous with chic living. Art lovers and sightseers, shopping devotees and culture enthusiasts all revel in the diversity of Left Bank life. The Hotel de l’Abbaye combines the best of fashionable Paris with old-fashioned French hospitality.
