JP Moser’s Review:
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

Frommer’s Review:
This hotel welcomes you into a former 16th-century Augustinian cloister. From a cobblestone street, you enter a symmetrical courtyard and find an elegant reception area with sculpture and Renaissance antiques. Each room is uniquely decorated with wooden beams and Louis XIII-style furnishings; the rooms come in a range of styles and shapes. Some are among the Left Bank’s largest, with extras such as mirrored closets, plush carpets, thermostats, and some balconies facing the courtyard. The least attractive rooms are in the interior. Bed configurations vary, but all mattresses are on the soft side, offering comfort with quality linens. Each unit comes with a tub and shower. Since 2003, at least four, if not five, of the rooms have been renovated annually.
