A cul-de-sac south of the place Maubert
The Résidence Henri IV is at no. 50 rue des Bernardins, at the end of a cul-de-sac near the square Paul-Langevin, just south of the place Maubert. The address belongs to the 5th arrondissement, one of the twenty administrative districts that number Paris. The hotel describes its building as a 19th-century Parisian house backing onto the former École polytechnique and facing a park, which several rooms look onto; we found no independent record to confirm the date.
It has 13 rooms and was classified four stars in January 2022 by Atout France, the state agency that classifies French hotels. It belongs to Paris Hotels & Spa, a family group of three hotels that includes the Hôtel & Spa Saint-Jacques, a two-minute walk away on rue des Écoles.
Kitchenettes in every room
The defining feature is practical: every room, apartments included, has a kitchenette with a microwave, a fridge and a hob. Five of the 13 units are apartments; the Apartment category takes up to four people and the Family Room up to six. Rooms are air-conditioned and themed, according to the hotel, around figures from the circle of Henri IV.
Wellness is modest but real: a hammam with a themed shower, open from 8.30 a.m. to 11 p.m., and massages booked in the room. The lounge has a fireplace and stays open day and night; the hotel invites guests to take a glass of wine there, but there is no bar service and no restaurant. The hotel does not take guests with reduced mobility, does not accept pets and does not mention parking.
Maubert, the Panthéon, and the four-stars around
Maubert-Mutualité and Cardinal Lemoine, both on line 10, are about four minutes on foot. For the RER B and C, Saint-Michel Notre-Dame is about nine minutes away; its line 4 stop is closed until 19 December 2026. The place Maubert and the Collège de France are four minutes away, the Panthéon five, the place de la Contrescarpe seven.
Six other four-stars lie within 200 metres on foot. La Lanterne & Spa, 150 metres away, has 42 rooms and a heated indoor pool; Hôtel Atmosphères, at 31 rue des Écoles, has a sauna and fitness room and accepts pets. One category down, the Paris Art Hotel, a three-star decorated by Paul Salas, is about 350 metres away at no. 1 rue des Écoles.

Families of up to six and guests who want a kitchenette, since every room has one. It suits less well travellers who need step-free access, who travel with a pet or who want a bar.

There is a hammam with a themed shower, open from 8.30 a.m. to 11 p.m.; massages are given in the room on request, as there is no treatment room.
Which hotels belong to the same group?
The Résidence Henri IV is one of three hotels of Paris Hotels & Spa, an independent family group, alongside the Hôtel & Spa Saint-Jacques on rue des Écoles and the Hôtel & Spa de Latour Maubourg.
Can I have a glass of wine in the evening?
The fireplace lounge, open 24 hours a day, is where the hotel suggests enjoying a glass of wine; it is not a staffed bar.
