Once
upon a time, in Paris during the Middle-Age...
The Relais Christine is a 16th century residence
that was built on the ruins of Saint Denis College in 1231 by
Saint-Louis.
What is today the Musée de cluny
was the first "hotel particulier" to stand, like the
Relais Christine, between garden and courtyard. This kind of
plan was often used during the 17th and 18th centuries in Parisian
architecture as witnessed by numerous hotels such as Palais
de l'Elysee or Hotel Matignon.
The medieval cellars used to be the
kitchen. While having breakfast, you can still admire the old
well and the majestic fireplace.
Nowadays, spirit and charm...
The hotel was fully renovated before it was
opened to the public in 1979. The decoration was entirely designed
by the owner who wants everybody to feel at home when coming
to the Relais Christine.
Tucked in at the end of the narrow street from which it takes
its name, the Relais Christine is a real haven of peace, made
more so by the existence of a pleasant flowered garden.
This delightful and descreetly luxurious hotel has managed
to preserve the intimacy of the private residence it once was.
Its comfortable and
welcoming rooms, the quiet atmosphere of its lounge and honesty
bar, and its personilazed service make it a restful and friendly
place to saty, worthy of the best Parisian establishments.
At the Relais Christine, the service
discreet, caring and sets out satisfy every single guest's desire.
Each room is unique: duplex, suite
or standard room are allbright and cosy. Wooden beams, toile
de Jouy, Louis XIII antique furniture are in line with left
bank spirit.
Not only does the Relais Christine provide you with
the intimacy wich you only find in a small residence but also
with the last amenities: ar conditioning, direct-phone, mini-bar,
satellite TV, safety boxes...
Private and free underground car-park, room service,
laundry, concierge, fax are in a foaming bath with the window
opened on the garden...
