At the Luxembourg end of rue de Vaugirard
The Hôtel Fontaines du Luxembourg is at 4 rue de Vaugirard, in the 6th arrondissement, on the fringe of the Latin Quarter. The street runs towards the Luxembourg palace and the Luxembourg garden is about 100 metres off. Odéon (lines 4 and 10) is five minutes on foot, Cluny–La Sorbonne (line 10) and Luxembourg (RER B) six. Atout France, the state body that issues French hotel stars, classified it three stars on 17 May 2022, for 30 rooms.
The house is independent. Its brand is listed as none, and no group appears on its legal notice.
Decor, rooms and services
The decor is baroque, in designer fabrics, with a theme drawn from Paris’s fountains: behind the beds, a giant reproduction of a fountain or a fresco of the garden. Every room is air-conditioned, with individual control in summer. Two rooms on the ground floor are for reduced mobility, with a wheelchair-accessible bathroom, a walk-in shower with a seat and grab bars. Communicating rooms take four people. A patio doubles as the smoking area. Breakfast is a buffet; there is no restaurant, and pets are not admitted.
The hotel says the building housed the king’s grooms in the 17th century and that some walls in the breakfast room date from the 12th. We found no heritage record at this address to confirm either, so they stay the hotel’s claims.
Among its neighbours
The street has larger hotels. The Hôtel Le Sénat, at number 10, has four stars and 41 rooms, with pets accepted on request, and the Hôtel Trianon Rive Gauche, four stars with 110 rooms, is a few doors away at number 1 bis. The Fontaines is a star lower and a fraction of the Trianon’s size. Le Clos Médicis, on rue Monsieur-le-Prince, is also three stars, with 38 rooms and a lounge bar.
