Select Hôtel Rive Gauche

Latin Quarter


In the heart of the studenty Sorbonne area, the Select is very Parisian-chic, with a cactus-filled atrium, an 18th-century vaulted breakfast room, striking contemporary paintings, sculpture and furniture set against white walls. Its 65 rooms are small but stylish with ingenious design solutions to maximise their limited space. Staff are friendly and efficient.
