Located in the heart of affluent Saint Germain, the Millesime Hotel is a good-value three star that's the perfect base for shopping and sightseeing in Paris. Within walking distance to the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay and the Jardin du Luxembourg, the hotel has won a loyal following for its warm, welcoming staff and very central location.

The facilities

There's no restaurant on site, but a continental breakfast spread is provided each morning; a wealth of restaurants and bars dot the surrounding streets and the nearby Latin Quarter, so be sure to ask staff for recommendations. There's also a lovely inner courtyard (the hotel is housed in what was Saint Germain Abbey); the perfect spot to relax after a busy day in the French capital.

The rooms

Each of Millesime Hotel's 21 rooms is comfortably and traditionally appointed. All come with air conditioning, a minibar, flat-screen television, private safe and complimentary wifi. The concierge will (for an additional charge) arrange for fresh fruit, champagne or even Ladure macaroons to be left in-room upon arrival.
