“In a calm St-Germain street, sister hotels stand side by side. The three-star Saint Vincent occupies a lovely old townhouse with an impressive entrance. The careful conversion preserves all the best of its original features: fireplaces, staircases, parquet floors, panelled doors, and moulding. The decoration is a happy combination of Second Empire and contemporary styles, and all the details – lamps, flowers, pictures, 'objets' – are in place. Rooms at the two-star Saint Thomas d’Aquin (at No. 3) are less luxurious but more reasonably priced.”
