The Hotel San Regis is an elegant 44 rooms and suites luxury hotel providing individually decorated rooms, some with balconies and overlooking the Eiffel Tower with excellent
personalized service.
In 1857, the year of the inauguration of the Suez Canal, Mr.
Edmond Petit ordered the construction of private town house at
number 14, rue Jean Goujon, which was later to become number 12.
For the Parisians of that period and indeed ever since, this
district was very fashionable. In 1923, after he had sold the
hotel George V, Mr. Simon André Terrail (father of the present
owner of the famous restaurant "La Tour d'Argent"), bought this
private town house in order to accommodate his foreign customers
in a comfortable hotel. Consequently the San Régis became the
second home of many celebrities as Lauren Bacall, Gene Kelly,
Romy Schneider, Jacqueline Bisset, Candice Bergen, Louis Malle,
etc. ... Most of the furniture of the hotel George V moved to
the hotel San Régis, and still today, they greatly contribute to
the charm of that refined property. With exclusive boutiques and
embassies as its sophisticated neighbors, the hotel maintains
an air of simple yet authentic elegance. It is easy to pass this
marvelous hotel by: a small sign is the only thing that
advertises its presence. Beyond the small foyer you find a
comfortable, ornately decorated lounge area and small dining
room where you can enjoy a quiet drink and/or lunch and dinner.
Do not miss the hotel restaurant. It is among the best places to
eat in Paris. The bedrooms are large and handsomely furnished, and the
bathrooms are very modern and thoughtfully stocked. Huge double
doors buffer sounds from other rooms. The rooms that front the
Rue Jean-Goujon are favored with a view across to the tip of
the imposing Eiffel Tower, but courtyard rooms are sheltered
from street noise. Last but not least, the hotel’s restaurant is
probably one of the best in Paris and very inexpensive. |
