"This might be the most beautiful, elegant hotel at which I’ve ever stayed. It is truly a palace, an oasis in a major city whose only drawback is that it’s out of the way. The staff is extraordinary - knowledgeable, delightful, accommodating, resourceful. A fabulous place to stay. We’ve stayed at many top of the line hotels in cities throughout the US, UK, and Europe. This one is at the top of my list."

"This hotel is spectacular! Incredible style, luxury and service. The entire staff is genuine, funny, fancy and delightful. The food is also very good and it is fun and lovely to just sit in one of the many gorgeous spaces to enjoy the vibes. The neighborhood is a lovely walk, with many cafes and shops. L'Arc de Triumph is a short walk away, as is Laduree. It is an easy and quick drive to all the great sites of Paris. It was a very special experience. You cannot beat staying in a castle!"

"My wife and I visited the hotel for our honeymoon, and were blown away. The quality of service, the building itself, and the amenities were everything you expect from a hotel of this calibre, and more. In particular, I would credit the concierges with making our stay extra special. They helped to arrange seamless arrival logistics through CdG airport with a meet and greet service, gave us a tour of the hotel itself, helped with ordering taxis, booking last minute Eiffel tower tickets and even arranging with my wife a surprise picnic for me, which was very thoughtful! They also recommended a visit to Le Petit Retro, which was excellent, and gave us champagne and a cake as a wedding gift! The rooms were very quiet, helped by being in the 16th, far enough from the tourist attractions to feel peaceful, but close enough for an easy taxi! The air coniditioning was fantastic for the heatwave, and the rooms were large by Parisian standards. The pool and library bar are both also great and are worth a visit! Despite the high price point, the hotel still delivered value for money and I will be returning and recommending to everyone I know."

"Our stay at Saint James was really pleasant. The staff were very professional and accommodating, the food at the restaurant and breakfast were extremely good. The spa is small but it is cozy. The suite we had was big enough for three people, very elegant and plenty of space to put our clothes and luggages without bumping into each other. The only downside is that the mattress and the pillows were not comfortable (something i didn’t expect for this level of luxury). I had to sleep without a pillow every night because it was genuinely uncomfortable and I wouldn’t feel well rested in the morning. Besides it all, it was still a lovely hotel. Still debating if we should go back one day."
