Take a short stroll from the Louvre, the Musée Rodin, or the D’Orsay and find yourself at a hotel which shares aesthetic values similar to these heralded museums. The Hotel Duc de Saint-Simon, sitting right on the crest of Boulevard Saint-Germain, is a perfect complement to an explorative stay in Paris; many of the city’s most enthralling attractions are only a light walk away. That said, Saint-Simon is an attraction in itself: the hotel is at once authentic and charming, and its rooms carry a distinctive, genuine air. The rooms are large and the staff are both friendly and helpful. And if you’re looking to walk the mile-and-a-half towards the Eiffel Tower and spend the rest of your day on foot, we recommend rising early and enjoying Saint-Simon’s delicious daily buffet. —Jack Sullivan
