Looking for accommodation in the most elegant and prestigious area of Paris? Hotels in the 6th arrondissement of Paris (Saint-Germain-des-Prés) offers the perfect mix of cultural history, luxury boutiques and legendary cafés. In this guide, I’ve compiled my top recommendations for where to stay in the area, from luxury “palace” hotels to classic Parisian boutique hotels. Most hotels are within walking distance of the Jardin du Luxembourg and are easily accessible via major metro stations like Odéon and Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
The 6th district of Paris which includes the Luxembourg Gardens And the charming streets around Boulevard Saint-Germain rival the Latin Quarter in popularity (and the prices are accordingly).
What makes it so popular among those looking for hotels in Paris is the combination of geographical centrality (you can cross the Seine and move to the right bank in about ten minutes) and a large collection of restaurants and cafes (including La Procope The oldest cafe in Paris.) So if you want to live right in the middle of the action, this is the place for you.
