About Hôtel Europe Saint-Séverin

Hôtel Europe Saint-Séverin occupies a corner building at 38–40 rue Saint-Séverin, close to the Saint-Michel transport hub. Its 59 rooms make it substantially larger than Hôtel Parc Saint-Séverin or Hôtel Esmeralda, and the range extends from compact Classic rooms to a top-floor Junior Suite.

Choose this address for Notre-Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, the Seine, and the operating Shakespeare and Company. Exposed beams and stone walls give parts of the hotel an old-Paris look, while the on-site Rim Café, breakfast buffet, room service, and 24-hour multilingual concierge add services the smallest hotels nearby do not offer.

Room sizes range from 11 square meters for a Classic room to 32 square meters for the Junior Suite. Street, courtyard, balcony, and rooftop-view categories create materially different stays. Travelers sensitive to size or street activity should compare the exact floor area and outlook before booking.

Good to know

This 59-room hotel offers a different scale and setting from the 27-room Hôtel Parc Saint-Séverin on rue de la Parcheminerie.

Must-visit places nearby

Three cultural places that fit naturally into a stay at this address. Open each place for its history and practical visitor details.

Landmark

Notre-Dame de Paris

The cathedral seen at night from the wooden footbridge off the Quai de Béthune — the still point of the finest walk in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, answered a decade later from the same river in Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer.

Park

Jardin du Luxembourg

Ernest Hemingway's daily shortcut and his hungry-day refuge — the park where he walked to avoid the smell of food, and studied the Cézannes in its museum on an empty stomach.

Bookshop

Shakespeare and Company (Rue de la Bûcherie)

George Whitman's bookshop by the Seine — opened as Le Mistral in 1951, renamed Shakespeare and Company in 1964 with Sylvia Beach's blessing, and still sleeping writers among its shelves.
