Hôtel Relais Christine Paris, France

Beyond the wrought-iron gates is a flower-infused courtyard leading to Hôtel Relais Christine. The original fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and wood paneling are a true reflection of the hotel’s medieval past. Savor an aperitif in the drawing room, bask in a treatment at the Spa Guerlain, or explore Paris on a complimentary bike.

Courtyard

Relais Christine is an oasis of calm in the centre of Paris. Steeped in history, it contains a paved courtyard reached by a covered passageway and, behind the house, a 150 m² garden accessible only to the privileged few. Vestiges of the Saint Denis College of the Grands-Augustins Abbey can be seen on the lower floor, now dedicated to well-being. The relaxation lounge features a magnificent circular column at the apex of its vaulted stone ceiling. An imposing fireplace, a well and small adjoining cells lead one to believe these are the former kitchens of the Grands-Augustins Abbey.
