How about the Best Western Premier or the K & K Hotel Cayre??

We have stayed at several mentioned above . The madison, Millesime also the Deux Continents and the Danube , The D'Angleterrre on rue Jacob and the Verneuil. I would recommend any of them. et your budget bethe guide

I think when people say romantic they mean decor other than modern, and something above "basic". I've just never heard anyone refer to a real modern hotel as "romantic", so that's my guess. I do think the Danube is possible in this price range, it is one of the cheapest mentioned.

4* hotels like l'Abbaye St Germain are not going to happen for $300 a night as their cheapest room is about 275 euro. But it is the right type.

I've heard the K&K Cayre is nice, never heard it being called romantic, I don't think it is remotely romantic. Businesslike, modern, etc.

Here's a nice romantic hotel, but again, its rooms start at 275 euro, that seems to be the way it goes. It's kind of expensive to be romantic. http://www.hotelducdesaintsimon.com/rooms.html

okay, I like the hotels in the Esprit de France group and often stay at one, they have several in your price range, check out the Hotel des Saints Peres, it is romantic and does have a classic room at 236 euro (I wouldn't book the standard).

I would also recommend the Hotel Le Petit Paris which has a great location in the Latin Quarter and is fairly romantic in decor. http://www.hotelpetitparis.com/uk/index.php Be sure you click through to look at the actual offers under best available rate, as they do have some in there for less than 300 euro.

sorry, group I like http://www.esprit-de-france.com/en/
they have the Saints Peres

Take a look at the Hotel Britannique. It is a beautiful hotel in the 1st, near the Seine. We had a wonderful stay there a few years ago, and would absolutely love to go back.

You might find an Eiffel Tower view room at the Hôtel Londres Eiffel for under 300 euro but you'd better hurry to reserve. We stayed there some years ago and it has since been redecorated. Have also considered the Hotel Britannique on a previous stay--it definitely looks romantic.
