Guest post by Samantha Jansen <\/em><\/p>\n Boutique hotels are plentiful in Paris<\/a>, and finding the right one for your budget can take some searching. <\/a>These independently run hotels offer an enticing alternative to the larger, often more expensive international chain hotels.<\/p>\n Paris has gained a reputation as the world’s most romantic city, but also for an occasionally stuffy or elitist attitude. By finding the friendliest lodging, travelers can avoid the attitude and maximize their experience of romantic charm.<\/p>\n Often, these smaller hotels have been family businesses for many generations and provide a more personalized and casual atmosphere for guests. It is possible to find Paris hotels<\/a> that are charmingly French and friendly \u2014 if you know where to look. Here are seven of the friendliest boutique hotels in the City of Light.<\/p>\n These hotels are also friendly for your pocketbook and will cost you under $200 per night during most seasons.<\/p>\n The renowned poet Edna St. Vincent Millay stayed here in 1921 when she was a foreign correspondent for Vanity Fair. She favored the hotel for its affordability and historical appeal. Today’s guests are greeted with the same combination of practicality and charm that so enticed the famous poet nearly a century ago. The Hotel des Saints-Peres<\/a> is in the bohemian Left Bank of Paris, still an international beacon for artists and writers. One of the hotel’s suites features a 17th<\/sup>-century fresco on its high ceiling, and all 39 rooms now feature the convenience of Wi-Fi access and mini-bars.<\/p>\n It’s rare to find a hotel that exudes historical style but without the pretentious attitude that often accompanies extraordinary design.<\/p>\nHotel des Saints-Peres<\/h2>\n
