Hotel d'Aubusson

Your basket is empty

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.
