Hôtel St-Jacques

Latin Quarter


Framed reproductions of famous artworks line the walls of this Belle Époque–styled hotel. Original 19th-century details include trompe l’œil ceilings evoking cloud-filled skies, an iron staircase and balconies overlooking the Panthéon. In keeping with its old-world spirit, hotel bar Toulouse Lautrec serves absinthe.
