Check Rates for Hotel Saint-Jacques

print this pageSituated in the shadows of the Pantheon on the very central rue des Ecoles, the charming Hotel Saint-Jacques offers pretty "belle époque" rooms at reasonable—though hardly cheap—rates.
The hotel's 36 rooms go for a "classic Parisian" look. They're wallpapered in soft yellows and blues, and headboards and night stands are painted white and gold. Rooms are furnished with period-style pieces, elegant light fixtures, and oil paintings of 19th-century Paris. Bathrooms are finished in marble, and equipped with glass-door showers or bathtubs. About 20 rooms have balconies, and we could even see Notre Dame from a balcony in a corner room. Several deluxe rooms are done up with plush carpets and paintings of romantic heroes.
The lobby is decorated with bookshelves and well-lit art reproductions. Its walls are painted with both period Parisian scenes and faux-marble. The "Bar Toulouse Lautrec" offers drinks, while, down a flight of stairs, breakfast (€10) is served in a cabaret-styled dining room, complete with player piano.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.
The student district of Paris since the 13th century, the Latin Quarter is located in the Left Bank's 5th arrondissement, and includes the Ile de la Cité in the center of the Seine. It's home to the Sorbonne University, the vast Jardin des Plantes on its eastern end, the Place St-Michel, the Panthéon on the Ste-Geneviève hilltop, and Notre Dame Cathedral on the Ile de la Cité. It's a lively area of Paris completely overrun with students and tourists and the cheap shops and eateries that cater to both constituencies.
After dark, the masses congregate in the pubs around the Place de la Contrescarpe and the clubs off the winding Rue de la Huchette. Many of the buildings in the Latin Quarter date back to the 1600s, something to keep in mind when choosing a hotel where ancient wooden beams and exposed stone walls come with winding, uneven stairs and tiny rooms.
