Three centuries after the foundation of the Saint-Denis college
of the Grands Augustins by Saint-Louis in 1231, the vast town
mansion now housing the Relais Christine was built. Within a
stone's throw of the Louvre and Notre-Dame, the hotel is located
in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a bustling district
famous for its intellectual and artistic circles. The names of
Baudelaire, Hugo and Musset, and later Picasso, Sartre and
Eluard are among the many associated with it. Tucked in at the
end of the narrow street from which it took its name, the Relais
Christine is a haven whose peaceful atmosphere in enhanced by
its pleasant garden and flowers. This delightful and secluded
luxury hotel has succeeded in preserving the privacy of the home
it once was. Its comfortable and welcoming rooms, the quiet
atmosphere of its lounge and honesty bar, and its personalized
service make it a restful and friendly place to stay, on a par
with the best Parisian establishments. The guest rooms are as
chic in style as they are comfortable; some overlook the garden,
some have private terraces. The drawing room has an honesty bar
so you can help yourself at any time. Breakfast is served in the
vaults, once the abbey's kitchen. Within the basement's natural
stone walls, you will find a spa where you can relax and unwind
in its soothing ambience. EVERY ROOM FROM A STANDARD TO A
SUITE IS ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFULL AND MOST COMFORTABLE. |
