Built in 1926, Montalembert was the first 5-star boutique hotel on the Left Bank and still offers delicious little extras like lining up restaurant reservations around town, arranging children's activities or babysitting or having the chef prepare special room-service meals for pets (small and discrete dogs are also welcomed in the hotel's dining room and seasonal terrace). The 54 rooms are small but tastefully decorated with innovative lighting, original art and new beds. The bathroom comes with Cascais marble, velvety bathrobes and L'Occitane products. You can relax in the library at tea time or cocktail time in front of a cheery fire.
