Blessed with a personable staff and a smart, stylish look, this hotel on a calm cul-de-sac a block away from the Jardin du Luxembourg is an oasis for contemplation. The welcoming hardwood-floor lobby with a fireplace leads to smallish rooms furnished with wrought-iron beds, contemporary bathrooms, and Provençal fabrics. Ask for one with a balcony, or request one of the larger ground-floor rooms with private entrance onto the street. A hot buffet breakfast is served in the cheerful dining room. It's an easy commute to either the airport or the Eurostar via the RER train that stops at the end of the street. Pros: quiet street close to gardens and RER station; nice decor; hot buffet breakfast. Cons: extra charge to use Wi-Fi; some very small rooms; air-conditioning not very strong.
