Hotel de l’Abbaye
Paris, France
Good Hotel Guide Review
Returning to Pierre and Gisèle Lafortune’s hotel, a former 17th-century convent near St-Sulpice, a visitor wrote: ‘Expensive, but worth every euro. The people are charming.’ Set back from a small street behind large wooden gates, across a small courtyard lit by carriage lamps at night, it has long been admired by Guide readers, not least for the tranquil garden and delightful seating area. A continental breakfast, thought ‘excellent’, is served in a conservatory-style room. It is included in the room rate and comes with a free English newspaper. The duplexes have a terrace with view over rooftops. There is a small mirrored lift. One visitor enjoyed tea with biscuits by the fire in a salon full of flowers: ‘How civilised, like being in someone’s country home. Wonderful squishy armchairs.’
