Hotel St. Germain des Pres web site?

We stayed in this hotel sometime ago and I have been unable to find a web site for them using a search engine. Anyone know? Thanks.

If it is the hotel at 36 rue Bonaparte, then:

<>Tricks for Google:

Enter the name in quotes
"hotel saint germain des pres"

Use the address instead
"36 rue bonaparte"

Their own website is rarely first, I imagine due to their agreement w/Google (costs more)

<>Also, use PagesJaunes.fr, because
often there is a link to the hotel website

Thanks Travelnut. Good search advice, too.

I'm having the same problem searching for hotels. It used to be so easy - put in the name of the hotel and their site would come up. Now all the paid booking services come up and it is virtually impossible to find the hotel site.

Hi all,

Google searches by counting the number of links to a site with the info you want. Thus, booking agencies will have higher priority on google than the hotel's website because more people go to booking agencies than to the one hotel.

There's also the Hotel Saint Germain on Rue de Bac. We stayed there and really liked it.
