Hotel San Regis ****

Hotel San Regis[/b] in 1857, the year of the inauguration of the Suez Canal, Mr. Edmond Petit ordered the construction of private town house at number 14, rue Jean Goujon, which was later to become number 12. For the Parisians of that period and indeed ever since, this district was very fashionable. In 1923, after he had sold the hotel George V, Mr. Simon Andre Terrail (father of the present owner of the famous restaurant "La Tour d'Argent"), bought this private town house in order to accommodate his foreign customers in a comfortable hotel. Consequently the San Regis became the second home of many celebrities as Lauren Bacall, Gene Kelly, Romy Schneider, Jacqueline Bisset, Candice Bergen, Louis Malle, etc. ... Most of the furniture of the hotel George V moved to the hotel San Regis, and still today, they greatly contribute to the charm of that refined property. With exclusive boutiques and embassies as its sophisticated neighbours, the hotel maintains an air of simple yet authentic elegance. It is easy to pass this marvellous hotel by: a small sign is the only thing that advertises its presence. Beyond the small foyer you find a comfortable, ornately decorated lounge area and small dining room where you can enjoy a quiet drink and/or lunch and dinner. Do not miss the hotel restaurant. It is among the best places to eat in Paris. The bedrooms are large and handsomely furnished, and the bathrooms are very modern and thoughtfully stocked. Huge double doors buffer sounds from other rooms. The rooms that front the Rue Jean-Goujon are favoured with a view across to the tip of the imposing Eiffel Tower, but courtyard rooms are sheltered from street noise. Last but not least, the hotel's restaurant is probably one of the best in Paris and very inexpensive.
