This boutique hotel is now our new favorite in Paris. Our suite had French doors opening onto a garden. The room service food was delicious and simple. The staff was gracious, helpful and uniformly wonderful. We gathered pastries from an abundance of world class patisseries on the Left Bank. Went back to Relais Christine where we conducted a tasting with other like-minded guests in the Lounge area. Sublime.

You cross over the bridge to the Left Bank, pass Notre Dame de Paris and begin turning down narrow streets that look like a movie set. The Christine street was opened in 1607 and the Relais Christine was built from a 16th century plan, standing between an inner courtyard and a garden. Your taxi stops in front of the beautiful 5 story courtyard - perfection. A bellman comes out to welcome you and take your luggage. And as you approach entrance, you almost hear Edith Piaf singing La Vie en Rose - I half expected to see Woody Allen in the Lobby. The staff is gracious and more than helpful. The building has been exceptionally refurbished - modern yet warm - muted colors, upholstered walls, exceptional portraits and art on the walls. A fire and "Honesty bar" beckoned from the Salon. We had a Garden Suite - classic, tailored, elegant, and large - A living room with couch bed and desk and bedroom - two bathrooms - and the toiletries - Ooh la la! the best ever. We had French doors in the living room to the courtyard and French doors to the garden from the bedroom.
It is a small hotel and you feel like an honored guest in a great friend's home. The WIFI and car park is complimentary (what a concept) and it has all the amenities of a small five star hotel plus a full gym and spa with masseuse. You can rent a car or borrow a bike.
Wonderful restaurants and shopping within walking distance.
Relais Christine will make you fall in love with Paris.

After a gap of 32 years I wondered if my wonderful memories of the Relais Christine were real or just imaginings of an idyllic Parisian adventure. I only had to walk through the gate to realise I had been right all along. The area is fantastic, the restaurants next door and across the tiny cobbled street are fabulous and the Relais Christine is heaven. My husband and I loved all over again the warmth and amazing customer service. You feel so special and welcome. The atmosphere is old-world, with just the right mix of relaxation, charm and glamour that is the 6th.
We danced in the street on New Year's Eve.

Our sincere thanks to Jean Luc Chomat and his wonderful staff for an amazing stay.

Just returned from an all too short stay at the Relais Christine, and would echo all the other complimentary comments about the prettiness of the hotel, its perfect location, etc. Our room was clean and comfortable, and we certainly didn't find it small by Paris standards. What impressed us most, however, was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, who were unfailingly smiling and helpful!
We both look forward to returning to the Christine
