Could anyone recommend a nice 3 or 4* hotel on the left bank that is appropriate for a family of four and not outrageously expensive?

Please tell us:<BR>Do you want one or two rooms?<BR>How much do you want to spend total?<BR>When are you going and for how long?<BR>If you plan on all four using one room, what bed arrangement do you need.<BR>"outrageously expensive" means different things to different people.<BR>I think a really nice hotel in Paris for $400 is expensive, but not outrageous, do you?<BR>Would you be more willing to spend $150 US per room for two rooms, or are you thinking more of something like all four in one room for $100?<BR>

The H&ocirc;tel Duquesne in the 7me has quads and chambres communicantes (two double rooms sharing a hallway)for about $160-$180. The Hotel de France, also in the 7me, also has a quad (just one, and it books pretty far in advance) for about $130. We've stayed in both and enjoyed both very much.

The Relais Christine is great. We had a townhouse room with a loft for the two bedrooms and family room downstairs which would be great for kids. I think we paid 2300 frf. Not cheap but very nice and well located.

why is it that when I see "not outrageously expensive" I think the person really means, "what is really cheap?"<BR>Just how much are you talking about?

One or two rooms would be fine. We are going for one week in September. Two twins and one double bed would be perfect. I agree that $400/night is not outrageously expensive in Paris and we would be willing to pay that.<BR><BR>We checked Relais Christine and it was going to be $700/night which my husband balked at. Your accommodation at Relais Christine sounds perfect and extraordinary for Paris.

Thanks for the additional information. I am not real familiar with rooms that accomodate four people, but I suspect that most rooms that have two twins plus a double are going to be pretty cramped for four people, unless you can find something wonderful like that deal at Relais Christine. Oddly enough, I thought even a standard twin room there was closer to $400, so a rate of 2300 francs for that two bedroom "townhouse" sounds like the deal of the century. <BR><BR>I'd suggest two deluxe rooms at Le Regent on Dauphine. Both rooms will be fairly large and you'll have the added benefit of two bathrooms. The total for the two deluxe rooms will be about <BR>$360 US. Be sure to request two rooms next to each other. I don't believe they have any that actually connect, but each floor will have two deluxe rooms right next to each other on the front of the building.

Thank you, Patrick.

Haven't been there for about two years, but you might want to check out Relais St. Germain. Very nice boutique hotel.

Hotel D'Angleterre<BR>44 rue Jacob<BR>3*<BR><BR>Hotel D'Aubbusson<BR>rue de Seine<BR>3*<BR><BR>L'Abbaye St Germain<BR>rue Cassette<BR>3*<BR>has some triple rooms

Denise, Just for clarification- Hotel D'Aubbusson is on Rue Dauphine and is a 4 star hotel. Great hotel and location!

Check Hotel Millesime or le deux continents...Millesime is owned by the same people as D'Aubusson and has the same standards of quality!we love it ..but then we love any hotel on Rue Jacob or nearby!

Ditto on Le Relais St. Germain. Many large rooms and some have kitchettes, great for families. Convenient location and not "outrageously expensive" for what you get.

sorry- D'Aubbusson is on rue Grandes Augustines,no?<BR>Now I am so confused

Sorry kc...D'Aubosson is on Rue Dauphine.not Rue de Seine or Grand Augustins<BR>Millesime on Rue JAcob

Oh Thank you Jody-I am rueful
