Hôtel Bel Ami

Great location in Saint Germain. Good service. Nice rooms and amenities for both business and personal travel. Great experience!

I absolutely adore the concierge team at the Bel Ami. My boss frequently travels to this hotel when she visits Paris — Jean Emmanuel, Thibault & Matieu, along with the rest of the concierge are always on top of making sure all my boss’ transportation/​reservation needs are met, down to last minute changes. Always a pleasant experience!

Absolutely love this hotel.
The staff at the front desk were all so sweet and helpful, and our room was clean, spacious, and contemporary. Even though the room was pretty big, the bathroom was small– but that isn’t extremely important for me anyways.
The hotel has a small restaurant which I didn’t try so I have no comments there, but I did use their small fitness center which is tiny, but adequate.
The highlight of this hotel for me is LOCATION. It is on a cute small street in the center of the 6 arr (St. Germain des Pres).
One of the best restaurants, Relais de L’entrecôte is literally a 10 second walk. It is also 8−10min walk to the Seine, Jardin de Luxembourg, and maybe 10−15min to the Louvre. Sitting among so many great restaurants, shops, and landmarks, this hotel is perfect if you want to do some sightseeing, but also if you want to get away from the tourist madness of the Champs élysées and Eiffel Tower areas.
Highly recommend.

Very cute and friendly hotel. All the staffs are so friendly and they remember what we like for breakfast. First day of arrival, they have prepared fresh juice and chocolate for us. We would come back to this hotel on our next visit to Paris.

Je n’ai testé que le brunch à volonté de cet hôtel. Celui-​ci est très varié, composé de plats et mets chauds ou froids, salés ou sucrés.
Petites portions de poissons, viandes, mini brochettes tempura, mini burgers, club sandwich, salades, œufs à la demande (coque, brouillés, pochés, en omelette), toasts, etc le tout éventuellement accompagné de vin en ce qui concerne le salé.
Pour le sucré, c’est céréales, petits fours, mini cannelés, mousse au chocolat, muffins, bonbons, financiers, etc avec jus de fruits frais bio, thé, café, …
Tout est vraiment très bon et très bien présenté, un vrai délice pour les yeux et les papilles. Les petites portions sont adaptées en taille puisqu’une bouchée de chaque permet ainsi de goûter à tout sans être très vite rassasié. Le personnel se charge de vérifier que tout se passé bien et que l’on né manqué de rien, réapprovisionne très vite le buffet, c’est très plaisant.
Avec cet hôtel, on commence à rentrer dans le haut standing et ça se ressent sur les prix: 46 € pour un brunch, ça commence à faire pas mal cher, même pour un buffet à volonté boissons comprises. Dommage, j’y serai bien retourné pour me régaler.

The hotel is expensive. Rooms are extremely small. Staff is awful, they stole money from my luggage, and no one admited it obviously. I do not recomend this hotel.

Amazing hotel right in the heart of Saint Germain des Pres. We loved our stay here and would recommend it to anybody who likes boutique hotels with excellent service.
Don’t get me wrong, we were nervous to stay here because all of our friends had horror stories about French hotels: tiny rooms, dirty rooms, no air conditioning, unexpected room charges (possibly for being American), mean hotel staffers, difficulty communicating. Some friends even said that we should stick to American chain hotels to make sure we get air conditioning which is absolutely necessary for us — we get hot very easily.
However, we like boutique hotels and are not really chain hotel people. We believe that boutiques give you a better idea of the neighborhood/​city you are visiting. We also like their quirky personalities and staying in more off-​the-​beaten path-​type places.
So Hotel Bel Ami conquered all of our fears pretty much immediately. Yes the room is small but I’d bet you a lot of money that most French hotel rooms are small compared to the ones in America. It was immaculately cleaned. It had air conditioning. There were no unexpected room charges. There were very nice common areas for drinks and breakfast. We loved the style and the splash of green accents everywhere. Very much our style.
With regards to the hotel staff, they couldn’t have been nicer. Does it help that I speak French a bit? Yes, probably. But when it got to a point where they were speaking too quickly or saying words I didn’t understand, they switched to English without a hint of snottiness and helped us with whatever we needed. As soon as we arrived to check-​in, somebody recognized our name and immediately said that we had a package (we pre-​ordered the Museum Pass and had it delivered to the hotel). He handed us the package about 30 seconds later. Wow, that’s service. I didn’t even ask for it, it just appeared.
The concierge helped us with a restaurant reservation along with tickets to Versailles and a Seine boat tour. So convenient and so easy.
Most taxi drivers/​über drivers knew Hotel Bel Ami by name, but it was also easy to explain in French where it was located. No problem at all.
If we go back to Paris, we will most definitely stay here. Loved the location, loved the hotel, loved the staff. Well done, Hotel Bel Ami!

Clean modern room, helpful staff, great location, comfortable bed, and small workout facility makes me a happy traveler.
This hotel had everything we needed. Of course the room is small by US standards but it is hard to find large rooms anywhere in Paris. The staff was very helpful with booking dinner reservations and they had a nice bar area to enjoy a cocktail before heading out for the night.

Cute hotel in Paris right in the midst of the 6^th arr.
We very much enjoyed our stay here and really appreciated the service the hotel provided. Ahead of our arrival, the concierge helped us book reservations for restaurants, as many don’t utilize email or websites for booking.
The rooms are small, but nicely appointed; come on, you have to know that going in. We had a room with a view of Saint Germain des-​Pres church and the courtyard that surrounds it. The room was a bit too warm for my liking (and we couldn’t quite get it to cool off), but luckily, the window opened, so we had brisk, late-​December air wafting in throughout the night. The hotel is incredibly close to the Saint Germain metro stop and tons of cafes and shops.
The hotel bar was very cute and the service there was great. Cocktails are apparently not all the rage in Paris, or at least in Paris hotel bars, and the pours are not generous enough for this lush! A small gym is available for use, free wi-​fi throughout the hotel, and a very polite staff.
We had a great time. Merci, Hotel Bel Ami!

An expensive — rephrase, a very expensive — French hotel in Paris. On trips to Paris in the future, I would continue to consider the hotel as a part of my rotation for client meetings but the pricing would keep it at a 3^rd or 4^th choice. I just cannot justify their rack rate (or even my corporate travel discounted rate during high season).
The staff is very friendly, and more importantly the staff is very English friendly, which can be a challenge in Paris (not an urban legend… the French really do seem to despise English speakers).
The location is a dream for both the tourist and the business traveler (except the commute to CDG is quite long). You are situated near Café Flore, St. Germain, St. Supplice, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and the Louvre. All of these are easily walkable for you.
The gym is small, but has enough of the necessities that you can get by doing both cardio and limited light weights (weights up to 25kg, or roughly 55lbs).
Overall, a quite nice experience except the absolute cost.

Testé l’un d’un brunch, avec mon frère. Choix des mets à déguster restreint, il manquait la moitié de ce qui était annoncé sur le feuillet, je n’ai pas pu goûter à certains plats car ceux-​ci n’ont jamais été renouvelés durant le service alors qu’il n’y avait pas franchement foule, accueil perfectible. Dommage car le cadre est sympathique et avenant.

Un hôtel au top rien que par sa situation idéale au cœur du quartier de St Germain des prés !
Un service impeccable et des chambres bien calmes. Un hôtel dans lequel je retournerai avec grand plaisir !
wifi gratuit
petit dej buffet ultra garni !

This Hotel is absolutely incredible. I cannot say enough great things about the staff, the rooms and service. The waitress from the doorman, counter service people and concierge. they were just unbelievably helpful. You would think that I was giving them big tips but I only gave a tip to the doorman that fetched my cab when I finally checked out after a weekl! They take care of you with a smile and willingness to help no matter what you need. One thing I should note is that all that great service is probably built into the price seeing as this is NOT A CHEAP HOTEL. It’s a luxury alliance hotel in the middle of Saint Germain near everything that’s cool and awesome to see in Paris. Their average rooms are 450 euro per night and they get way higher in pricing if you get a superior room. The rooms are cozy and will impress despite their more modern décor. I don’t really know what else to say. If you want an amazing experience in Paris and have a decent budget then stay here. However, if you consider yourself having a more than decent budget then stay at the Hôtel de Crillon to experience authentic luxury at its finest, but from my experience that particular hotel can be a bit pretentious.

Pricey but excellent French hotel, on my rotation (though not so great as to be my go-​to hotel). The rooms are small but in great condition. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and very English-​friendly (my French is virtually zero, ugh). The location is fabulous – right down from Café Flore, St. Germain church, and lots of shopping; if you are a walker you can walk to the Louvre, Notre Dame, St. Supplice and the Eiffel Tour for that matter.
I usually check on-​line to see if they have any deals – if I can get a good rate, I often stay here, but if I’m going to be paying the rack-​rate I usually move on. Yikes, the prices! But when I stay here, I do like it.

A deux pas du Café de Flore, l’hôtel Bel Ami est un très joli «boutique hôtel» design et sophistiqué. Les chambres sont toutes d’atmosphères différentes.
L’adresse est parfaite pour les férus de la Rive Gauche, très central question shopping tout en étant dans une petit rue au calme.
Pour celles et ceux qui veulent aussi se reposer, on profite du spa Payot de l’hôtel et de la salle de sport.
Et le lobby avec ses petits salons sont parfaits pour un apéritifs avec des amis avant de sortir diner dans le coin.
