HOTEL D'AUBUSSON

Parisian townhouse treat on the Left Bank

THIS SPLENDIDLY RENOVATED 17th century mansion in the heart of Saint Germain gives lovefests a bit of extra vroom with a pre-bookable Romance package (call 01225 428888 to book). Lovebirds celebrating a special occasion at Hôtel d’Aubusson can thus add a suitcase-full of treats to their stay that includes a limousine airport pick-up, a champagne lunch, cruise down the River Seine and complimentary tickets to a musical concert and a top museum.

Pick one of the wood-beamed Grand Luxe category bedrooms – some with half-tester beds reclining under eaves – tricked out with quality soft furnishings and Porthault linens. Soundproofed quarters are matched by stylish marbled bathrooms stocked with Hermès bath treats.

Take a seat in the d'Aubusson's pretty Tapestry Room  and start the day with one of the best breakfasts on the Left Bank.  Linger in the courtyard with a champagne cocktail come spring or summer, or sip a warming cognac by the Grand Salon’s fireplace when nights draw in. It oozes elegance and flaunts an inviting Louis XV sofa for cosying up. 

Pure Saint Germain

Light suppers are served in Café Laurent (there’s live jazz here on some nights) while a galaxy of restaurants twinkle nearby. Hôtel d'Aubusson's friendly and professional staff treat guests here to seamless service.

You’re a few minutes’ walk from Pont Neuf, the city’s oldest bridge, so soak up its classic views of top sights such as Tour Eiffel and Notre Dame. Leaf through the second-hand books of the bouquinistes along the Seine, and get your fill of buzzy Saint Germain.

Dining in
Only breakfast is served, though the d'Aubusson's Café Laurent offers a huge array of wines and cocktails.

Dining out
You couldn’t possibly be in a better place to eat out: Saint-Germain is on your doorstep and it's heaving with good eateries. Favourites within easy walking distance include Brasserie Flo, Aux Lyonnais and Alcazar.

See & Do
You’re just tripping distance from the Louvre, the magnificence of Notre Dame and the iconic Eiffel Tower. The streets of Saint-Germain are packed with little galleries and cafes, and you're right in the heart of everything going on. Don't miss the little street market just around the corner from the hotel either.

Shop
If you can’t shop in Paris, you can’t shop. Designer stores litter the most famous boulevards. Back alleys close to the hotel will take you to the more colourful side of town, but should you wish to join the big spenders, step out into the big Paris department stores. Don’t stick to the Champs-Elysées unless you like fast food and same-y souvenirs.

After dark
Theatre, music, cinema and clubs are right at your door. Book tickets for the Paris Opera, or sip a cocktail in the d'Aubusson's low-lit Café Laurent and listen to the live singing and jazz. Just don’t stick on a beret and you’ll fit right in.

Dates
May
Fill your ears at the big Saint Germain jazz festival.
