Hôtel Henri IV Rive Gauche guarantees an ideal location for discovering Paris. Located in the Saint-Michel district, just a stone’s throw from the Seine, our hotel opens the doors to an exceptionally rich historical heritage.

This area once housed the thermal baths of Cluny, Roman baths whose vestiges are still visible today. As early as the 12th century, schools began to populate the Sainte-Geneviève Mount, pre-dating the creation of the Sorbonne University in 1257. The district quickly became the beating heart of European student life, a status it has never lost. The neighbourhood’s very name comes from the Saint-Michel bridge, rebuilt several times since the 14th century and adorned with its famous monumental fountain.

Our hotel gives you a front-row seat to this exceptional heritage. It is the perfect starting point to understand how centuries of history, knowledge, and intellectual ferment have shaped the face of Paris.
