I agree with you blair. I really love the St Germain area because of the nightlife. As I said I have stayed at the d'Aubusson for the past 5 years and I really love it. But is seems they raise prices about 15-20% every year. Now for this Nov they are at 250 Euros. Up from 220 Euros I paid last year and with the US dollar almost equal to the Euro now it is not quite the deal it has been in the past.

I have also just found another hotel in the area called La Villa Saint Germain. Seems very sleek and modern which I like. It is on Rue Jacob. I am familiar with the area. Do you know the hotel ?
