Hôtel Le Comtesse

Top choice in St-Germain & Les Invalides


A five-star view of Mademoiselle Eiffel seduces guests in every single room at the Countess, an utterly charming boutique hotel at home in a 19th-century building with alluring wrought-iron balconies. Colour palettes are playful, and the feathered quill pen adorning the desk in each room is one of many cute touches. Breakfast (€9 to €19) is served in the glamorous, boudoir-styled cafe with pavement terrace.
