Hôtel Le Sénat , Paris
The French capital of Paris has charmed visitors with its European sophistication, glamorous air, stylish allure and fascinating historical sights. Take a boat trip along the Seine, visit the iconic Eiffel Tower, or the Notre Dame cathedral. Walk through the distinctive pyramid entrance of the Louvre, marvel at the Arc de Triomphe, or shop along the Champs Elysées. No less is Paris's bohemian culture more evident than on the city's left bank, and in particular, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where famous writers, philosophers and artists once congregated.
Saint-Germain-des-Prés is one of the most fashionable parts of Paris with its many bookstores, art galleries, and antique stores. Snapshots of old Paris are evident by the ancient churches and tiny side streets lined with 17th and 18th century buildings.

Hôtel Le Sénat is in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, facing the picturesque Luxembourg Gardens. This quaint, boutique hotel provides a high standard of accommodation which combines old Parisian charm with modern comfort and convenience.
