Stay just a few steps from Notre-Dame de Paris at Hôtel Royal Saint Michel

In a city where every street tells a story, it's rare to find a hotel that combines ideal location, Parisian charm and modern comfort. Just a stone's throw from theemblematic Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, theHôtel Royal Saint Michel stands out as an address of choice for all those wishing to explore the historic heart of the capital.

A location in the heart of historic Paris

Located in the 5ᵉ arrondissement, between the Left Bank and the Île de la Cité, Hôtel Royal Saint Michel offers exceptional proximity to the greatest sites of old Paris. It takes just three minutes on foot to reach Notre-Dame de Parisa jewel of Gothic architecture still undergoing restoration after the fire of 2019, but accessible to visitors since the gradual reopening scheduled for the end of 2024.

The hotel faces directly onto Boulevard Saint-Michel, one of the Latin Quarter's liveliest and most symbolic thoroughfares, and is just a stone's throw from the Saint-Michel - Notre-Dame station (RER B and C), a practical advantage for quick access to Paris stations and airports.

Living Paris along the Seine

Just a stone's throw away, the Seine unfurls its UNESCO World Heritage quays. Staying at the Royal Saint Michel means enjoying cruises on the Seine, departing from the Pont Saint-Michel or the Quai de Montebello, just opposite Notre-Dame. Day or evening, these boat trips offer breathtaking views of Parisian monuments: the Louvre, the Conciergerie, the Pont Neuf, the Musée d'Orsay, and of course, the majestic silhouette of the Eiffel Tower.

Bouquinistes, lively terraces, flower markets on the Île de la Cité and romantic bridges complete this postcard setting.

A starting point for exploring the Île de la Cité

From the hotel, it's just a short stroll to theÎle de la Cité, the birthplace of Paris. In addition to Notre-Dame, you'll find the Sainte-Chapelle, famous for its exceptional stained-glass windows, and the Conciergerie, the former prison of the French Revolution. For a bucolic break, Square Jean XXIII, behind the cathedral, offers a verdant setting overlooking the Seine.

For a moment out of time, walk across to Île Saint-Louis, with its quiet lanes, artisanal ice-cream parlors like Berthillon, and private mansions.

A 4-star hotel combining comfort, service and authenticity

TheHôtel Royal Saint Michel welcomes guests in a warm and elegant atmosphere. Its rooms, decorated in a classic chic style, are equipped with quality bedding, air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and some have a private balcony with a view over the Parisian rooftops.

The buffet breakfast, served in a bright room, features a wide selection of fresh produce. The multilingual team is on hand to organize your outings, cruises on the Seine or cultural visits.

The hotel also offers family rooms, ideal for travelers wishing to combine tourism and comfort in the center of Paris.

Tips for visiting Notre-Dame de Paris

1. Anticipate your visit: once it officially reopens (scheduled for December 2024), queues will be long. We advise you to book your tickets in advance, especially for access to the towers.

2. Explore the surrounding area: after your visit to the cathedral, don't miss the Archeological Crypt beneath the forecourt, as well as the Sainte-Chapelle, just a 5-minute walk away.

3. Take a stroll at the end of the day: the golden light of evening on the western facade of Notre-Dame is a sight not to be missed, especially from the Pont de l'Archevêché or the Quai de la Tournelle.

Parisian atmosphere in all its authenticity

The Hôtel Royal Saint Michel is surrounded by traditional cafés, antique bookshops, local markets and art galleries. You're in the Paris of writers, thinkers and artists, where every street corner transports you to another era.

Between the liveliness of the Latin Quarter and the romanticism of the Seine, you'll enjoy a deeply Parisian stay, far from clichés, in a setting that combines refinement and authenticity.
