A 13th-century abbey converted into a small and charmingly traditional boutique hotel would be special enough, were it located somewhere far out in the French countryside; in the heart of Paris’s Latin Quarter, however, it’s truly extraordinary. This is the Relais Christine, hidden away in a quiet cobbled courtyard in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, close by to the Louvre and Notre Dame, and a short walk from the banks of the Seine.
The fifty-one rooms vary in size, all individually decorated, but all decked out in the rich colors and lush fabrics and upholstery that you come to Paris for in the first place. Beamed ceilings and all manner of period architectural detail keep the eye interested, and unlike some over-ornate classic Parisian interiors, the Relais Christine’s rooms never feel overstuffed.
Views overlook gardens, courtyards or a quiet private street, and some of the suites come with private garden terraces. There’s wireless internet access throughout, and a meeting room in a vaulted cellar — theatrical, maybe, but better than the average boardroom. Also downstairs are the spa, sauna, jacuzzi and fitness center. There’s no restaurant, but the St. Germain district isn’t hurting for options, including the legendary Les Deux Magots.

What I liked:
Absolutely delightful- a small forest of pine trees provided a wonderful, welcoming aroma upon Christmas-time arrival at the hotel. The staff are charming, friendly and helpful. Rooms are more spacious than some Paris options and the decor was very tasteful.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!

What I liked:
The lounge was a very pleasant place to sit, with coffer and tea available as well as an honor bar. We love the location, on the left bank, near the metro, resstaurants, cafes, bars and shops.
