About Hôtel Bel Ami

Hôtel Bel Ami occupies a nineteenth-century building on rue Saint-Benoît, a short street in the center of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The hotel has 102 rooms, suites, and apartments, so it offers more choice and more on-site services than the smaller historic hotels nearby. Its style is contemporary rather than old-fashioned Parisian, with a bar and restaurant, spa treatments, a sauna, a fitness room, and a Clefs d’Or concierge.

The location works especially well for a trip built around Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots, Brasserie Lipp, the galleries around rue de Seine, and Sylvia Beach’s original Shakespeare and Company on rue de l’Odéon. You can begin or end the day in Saint-Germain without planning a separate journey back to the neighborhood. The tradeoff is equally clear: Ernest Hemingway’s first Paris home near place de la Contrescarpe and the historic Montparnasse cafés belong to different parts of the Left Bank.

Room category matters here. Superior rooms start at 17 square meters, while Deluxe rooms, suites, and apartments add noticeably more space. The apartments include options for longer stays and families, including one- and two-bedroom layouts. If floor area, twin beds, connecting rooms, or a particular bathroom arrangement matters, confirm the exact category and request with the hotel before booking.

Good to know

Ernest Hemingway’s Cardinal-Lemoine address and the rue Delambre cafés are in other parts of the Left Bank.

Who this hotel suits

Best for

  • A first stay centered on Saint-Germain-des-Prés
  • Travelers who want a full-service hotel rather than a tiny historic property
  • Couples, friends, or families who need a wider choice of room layouts

Consider another area if

  • Most of your plans are in the upper Latin Quarter or Montparnasse
  • You want an old-world room rather than contemporary interiors
  • You need a large room but plan to book an entry-level category
