Sherman's Expert Review

One of the oldest and most romantic spots in all of Paris is the picturesque Ile Saint Louis, a tiny island in the middle of the Seine. Just entering the enchanting lobby of this 17th century, country-style, 23-room hotel, is like stepping back in time. The stone fireplace, wood paneled walls, and terracottamore floor covered in Persian rugs exude the warm feeling of an informal estate. The smallish rooms are somewhat Spartan, with a very few antiques here and there, but it’s all quite tastefully decorated, with good, full bathrooms. Rooms 661 and 662, located on the top floor beneath the mansard roof, are the property’s best units because they are the largest and the brightest respectively. If it’s booked up – as the Lutece often is in high season – try their other hotel just up the street, the equally charming Deux-Iles.

"Great Hotel In An Even Better Location"

This hotel is the perfect location for a quick break. I've stayed in Paris several times, so this time it was a relief not to have to get taxis so much. It is surrounded by several metro stops, i used the one outside Notre Dame the most. This is a... more

"Would not stay there again!"

This was our first trip to Paris and Paris did not disappoint. It was beautiful. Unfortunately, our hotel was not. I did extensive research and had booked us at four hotels, but chose the Lutece because of the location. The location was perfect, but... more

"Highly recommend"

Situated on a small island in the middle of the Seine with most attractions within walking distance and the option of transportation by metro or batobus, Hotel de Lutece feels like "a home from home" rather than a hotel. Staff are friendly and... more

"A Good Stay at the Lutece"

We spent four days at the Lutece in a clean, decent-sized room with a bathroom that was large by Paris standards. The location speaks for itself, on a historic island that is itself a tourist attraction. The staff was friendly and efficient, even... more
