The Chic and Affordable Paris Hotel
08.02.16
It was just a fluke that we found Hotel & Spa La Belle Juliette in Paris, which could be one of the few boutique hotels in the city with a spa/swimming pool. We wanted to stay in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés quarter, and La Belle Juliette was just what we needed. We didn’t know until we arrived just how much we would love the four-star luxury hotel. If you’re planning a trip to Paris, no doubt you’ll be overwhelmed with the hotel choices—yet, if you want to be centrally located, while avoiding crowds and tourists, consider La Belle Juliette.
The price is right—starting at 190 Euros, depending on the room, etc. and each one has air-conditioning, a private bathroom, satellite TV, free Wi-Fi, and an iMac with internet. The rooms are chic with hardwood floors, modern and Empire style furniture, ultra comfortable beds, and we had a free-standing tub for relaxing.
You can choose your room—34 in all—from superior to deluxe suites for longer stays. Not that we had time to experience the spa, but lower level of the hotel boasts an intimate day spa for beauty treatments using Maria Galland and Phytomer products, a steam room, and a small pool with a swimming current. You’ll have complimentary access to the spa from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., but must book your treatments for a charge.
The location couldn’t be better—it’s close to the beautiful Jardin du Luxembourg, the Saint-Sulpice church, and it’s not far from the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay.
If you’re lucky enough to go in June, you can visit the flea market of great antiques: maps, linens, china, cutlery furnishings, art and more when brocante at St Sulpice arrives. It’s an outdoor market that ends on June 23, in the Place Saint Sulpice. Metro stations at Saint-Placide and Vaneau are also an easy walk from the hotel so that you can easily get to favorite sites in the city.
You can also shop until you hearts content in the 6th arr. It’s considered one of the best neighborhoods in Paris for discovering boutiques, cafés, restaurants, art galleries and antique shops, and art museums. Nearby streets known for their shopping include boulevard Raspail, rue du Dragon and rue des Saints-Pères. The famed Le Bon Marché is also very close to the hotel.
You’ll have no shortage of cafes, restaurants and bakeries to enjoy nearby, or your can choose Clos at the hotel for breakfast, afternoon tea, drinks, cocktails and snacks created by chef Flora Mikula. You can sit inside, or relax on the terrace to enjoy the outdoor garden.
La Belle Juliette is one of our favorite finds in Paris, and you can plan your visit around some of the arts/culture events featured on their blog. We can’t wait to go back!
Hotel La Belle Juliette is at 92 rue du Cherche Midi in Paris.
