The Neighborhood
Relais Christine is situated in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, perhaps the most iconic neighborhood in Paris. This district, the 6th Arrondissement, is the historic playground of writers like Hemingway and Sartre. Today, it is a vibrant center for art, fashion, and gastronomy. Within a five-minute walk, guests can reach the banks of the Seine, the Pont Neuf, and the legendary stalls of the Bouquinistes. The area is packed with independent art galleries, high-end boutiques, and world-class dining, ranging from traditional brasseries to innovative Michelin-starred spots. It remains the intellectual and cultural heartbeat of the Left Bank.
About Relais Christine
Relais Christine is an iconic 5-star boutique hotel that captures the essence of Parisian sophisticated living. Located at 3, Rue Christine in the historic 6th Arrondissement, the hotel occupies a majestic 17th-century mansion built on the site of the former Grands-Augustins Abbey. This heritage is visible in the stunning architectural details, from the vaulted stone ceilings of the breakfast room to the original wooden beams in the suites. Despite its central location in the vibrant Saint-Germain-des-Prés district—famed for its literary history, art galleries, and upscale boutiques—the hotel remains a remarkably quiet retreat. This tranquility is largely due to its private cobblestone courtyard and lush rear garden, which separate the residence from the city streets. Guests can choose from 48 individually decorated rooms and suites, each offering a unique blend of historical charm and modern luxury. The Classic Double Rooms are elegantly appointed with fine textiles and classic French decor. The hotel’s amenities emphasize relaxation and personalized service. The Spa Guerlain offers a range of bespoke treatments in a serene underground setting, accompanied by a sauna and a whirlpool. For those wishing to explore Paris like a local, the hotel provides complimentary bicycles and an expert concierge team ready to unlock the city's secrets. With its honesty bar, cozy lounges with fireplaces, and dedicated valet parking, Relais Christine provides an unparalleled level of comfort and privacy that makes it one of the most sought-after addresses in the City of Light.
A Secret Sanctuary in the Heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés
Tucked away behind a discreet cobblestone courtyard, Relais Christine offers a rare sense of peace in the bustling heart of Paris. This 17th-century mansion, built on the remains of a 13th-century abbey, effortlessly blends historic grandeur with the intimate feel of a private residence. Located in the legendary 6th Arrondissement, the hotel serves as a sophisticated retreat for those who wish to experience the intellectual and artistic soul of the Left Bank. From the moment you pass through the iron gates, the noise of the city fades, replaced by the scent of the private garden and the warm welcome of a dedicated staff. It is a place where Parisian heritage meets modern luxury, creating an atmosphere that is both timeless and deeply personal.
The Relais Christine Experience
Life at Relais Christine is defined by quiet moments and impeccable service. Guests can begin their day with a traditional Parisian breakfast in the vaulted stone cellar or enjoy a quiet afternoon with a book in one of the richly decorated lounges. The hotel pride itself on a 'home away from home' philosophy, where every detail is designed to soothe. Whether you are returning from a gallery opening or a stroll along the Seine, the transition into the hotel’s calm interior is seamless. For those looking to explore, the concierge can arrange bespoke itineraries, though the simple pleasure of relaxing by the fireplace in the lounge is often the day's highlight.
