Modern design hotels may be moving into Paris, but Hotel Relais Saint-Jacques is decidedly in the opposite camp. This is, in many ways, what one expects from a Parisian hotel — comfort, traditional style, and enough antique furnishings to start an auction house. This Hausmann-style building, near the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Sorbonne, is all meticulously preserved history, from its Louis XV lounge and library to its handsome guest rooms, all four-posters and lush fabrics.
The hotel is tucked away into the winding streets and alleyways of the Latin Quarter, on the Left Bank — and the relative calm of the location, along a particularly scenic tree-lined drive, lends a certain time-machine air to the hotel. Rooms on the front of the hotel overlook this street, with just a fleeting glimpse of the Pantheon through the foliage, and back rooms are quieter, facing onto a courtyard. Many on both sides have balconies, and all are individually decorated.
Modern conveniences abound, though, despite the old-fashioned appearance; many rooms (and the lounge) are wi-fi enabled, and the hotel's business center is available 24 hours per day. There is no restaurant (though breakfast is available, as is room service), but this is Paris — we challenge you to walk three blocks without passing an excellent restaurant. The Latin Quarter is popular among tourists, especially those on a budget, as it is both picturesque and inexpensive — an apt description not just of the neighborhood, but of Le Relais Saint-Jacques as well.
