A distinguished member of design hotelsTM. A journey to Paris always conjours up thoughts of good food, but a stay at Bel Ami is like a visit to a sublime visual ice cream shop. All the best flavors are cleanly and simply presented, from rich chocolate sofas in the pistachio reception to the coffee colored throws in the guestrooms and the caramel stools in the espresso bar. For more conventional hunger, the bright, blonde wood breakfast room, with its morning flowers, supplies guests with the best possible start to the day. A buffet of freshly baked breads and croissants, fruits and preserves awakens the senses of those who spent a little too long in the funky mosaic bar the night before. After breakfast, check your emails and arm yourself with the latest news and information at one of the hotel's 2 complimentary internet stations. Before heading out into the bustle of the Left Bank, be sure to grab a coffee, on the house. In the chic district of saint-germain-des-prés, bel-ami is set to be the place for the modern people of this century. From the copper glass-mosaic clad bar to the chimney-on-the-wall or the cool contemporary café and its vibrant artwork, originality and crisp design provide the atmosphere and comfort of the new millennium.
