A Saint-Germain name on an address in the 5th
The Hôtel Vendôme Saint-Germain is at 8 rue d’Arras, in the 5th arrondissement, and the name should not be read as a location. Saint-Germain-des-Prés is across the Latin Quarter; this street lies in the east of the 5th, by the Jussieu campus. Cardinal Lemoine on line 10 is about a minute’s walk, Jussieu on lines 7 and 10 five, and Maubert-Mutualité on line 10 six. The hotel puts the Arènes de Lutèce at 300 metres, and Notre-Dame at ten minutes on foot. Our page on the Arènes de Lutèce covers the Roman amphitheatre.
Atout France, the state body that issues French hotel stars, classified it three stars on 29 July 2026, for 31 rooms. It is independent, with no chain displayed.
Rooms and services
Every category takes a maximum of two people, with extra beds and baby cots on request, so it suits couples and single travellers more than parties. The hotel is described as air-conditioned and soundproofed. On the ground floor, a 20 m² double is fitted out for guests with reduced mobility. A buffet breakfast is served, and there is neither a restaurant nor a bar. Pets are not mentioned.
Parking is the point to check. The home page speaks of a private car park and a public one nearby, in English simply of a “private parking”, with no address, rate or booking terms. Until the hotel confirms those details we treat it as an advertised service, not a verified one.
Among its neighbours
Close by, the comparison runs to the Hôtel Minerve, a three-star of 54 rooms on rue des Écoles with air conditioning, an accessible room and a paid private car park offered on request, and to the Hôtel des Arènes, a three-star of 52 rooms on rue Monge. The Vendôme is the smallest of the three, at 31 rooms. Our guide to the hotels near rue Mouffetard places them together.
