Help to decide between St. Germain des Près Hotels/Aug

Hello All,

We think we have narrowed our choices for our August hotel stay (husband, Kids - 16 and 20) both have adjoining room options; Hotel Academie or Hotel Baume. Does anyone have experience staying in one of these two? Would you recommend it? Is there another one that you think is better for a similar price point? Not that I want to confuse myself more! Appreciative - Melissa

I think you have narrowed it down to two good choices though I have no personal knowledge of Hotel Baume (just basing my comment on the location). It's been a lot of years but I think my family of four stayed in two connecting deluxe rooms at the Academie Saint Germain. It's been years since we needed adjoining rooms and also this was before I started keeping trip notes in a Google doc so all I can go on is my memory which is that it was a perfectly fine stay. If my memory serves me the hotel has a traditional decor style which is not my favorite but seems to be what a lot of tourist want from decor in Parisian hotel. For all I know though, maybe it has been redecorated. Did you look at reviews on booking.com and tripadvisor? You've done well. What does "better" mean for you. I mean we stayed with the children at the Da Vinci Hotel & Spa which is a couple of steps away from the Academie a year or two later. It was better for me but that is because it has a spa area with a pool and massage therapy and the staff was beyond nice to my children.
