Hotel Bel Ami, on the Left Bank steps from the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Metro, is well located for sight-seeing, shopping and night life. Some of the 108 minimalist chic rooms have connecting doors, which makes it ideal for families. Rooms are sound-proof and an extra cot is available upon request. Downstairs, there's a piano bar. This is one of the hotels associated with the Paris International Lesbian and Feminist Film Festival and a favorite with fashionistas. The hotel staff is exceptionally multi-lingual.
