Hôtel Abbatial Saint-Germain, boulevard Saint-Germain

On the 5th-arrondissement end of boulevard Saint-Germain

The Abbatial stands at no. 46 boulevard Saint-Germain, between place Maubert and rue de Poissy. The “Saint-Germain” in its name is that of the boulevard it stands on: this stretch belongs to the 5th arrondissement and the Latin Quarter, not to the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district of the 6th. Atout France, the national agency that classifies hotels, records three stars for 44 rooms, dated 9 June 2026.

It is independent. The company that owns the website and runs the hotel, SAS Hôtel Abbatial, is chaired by another company, Hôtelière Bernardins; no chain or group is displayed. The hotel describes the building as Haussmann-era, with mouldings, half-timbering and exposed stone, a description we have not been able to cross-check.

Rooms for two, and a gym in the cellar

All 44 rooms were refreshed in 2021, according to the hotel, and a period lift serves them. They take one or two guests, never more. In the “balcony” categories, on the 2nd, 5th and 6th floors, the balcony is guaranteed. The ground-floor Junior Suite is adapted for guests with reduced mobility. Air conditioning exists but runs only between 1 May and 31 October.

The cellar has been turned into a 40 m² gym with cardio machines and weights, open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on booking, for four people at a time; a coach can be hired. Breakfast is served in a room the hotel calls the “Brasserie”, under the glass roof of what it says was a former Parisian brasserie. That is the only meal: there is no restaurant, no bar is mentioned and the FAQ confirms there is no spa. Pets are not allowed. Its FAQ also pitches the hotel to couples, with champagne and rose petals on request.

Place Maubert and the neighbours

Place Maubert is three minutes away, the Collège de France five, the parvis of Notre-Dame seven, the Panthéon and the Cluny museum eight. Maubert-Mutualité, on line 10, is 250 metres away; Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, nine minutes away, serves the RER B and C; its line 4 stop is closed until 19 December 2026 for works (Paris.fr, checked October 2026).

Two three-star hotels lie two minutes away. The Hôtel Oratio, on rue des Bernardins, has 39 rooms, including family and adapted rooms. Hôtel de Notre Dame, on rue Maître-Albert, has 34 and also lists a fitness room, which our database records as a single treadmill and an infrared sauna. For a pool and a rooftop, the four-star Hôtel Pilgrim, on rue de Poissy, is three minutes away. Among these three-stars, the Abbatial is the largest and the only one restricted to rooms for two.
