The hotel is located in a fully renovated 17th Century building, and there is no denying it has a lot of charm. First and foremost, this is because the precise, classic, clean design is close to perfect, and succeeds in transmitting a pleasant sense of authenticity, unlike the sad feeling of anonymity that some other hotels exude. This may also be owing to the large picture window overlooking the inner courtyard, the warm colour of the parquet and the succession of little lounges set around the inner courtyard. One thing is for sure, the D'Aubusson has character. Somewhere mid-way between a British country mansion and the imperial style of the Napoleonic times, the lounges (with their immense fireplace that roars in winter) and communal areas of the D'Aubusson are sure to be appealing if you feel more at home in a classic setting than in the modern surroundings of a designer hotel.
Given its location at the heart of the Odéon district, the hotel has always been popular among Americans visiting Paris. The rooms are suited to both couples and families.

Café Laurent, whose big picture windows overlook Rue Dauphine, is part of the reason for the success and reputation of the hotel. Indeed, it took over the running of the historic club, Le Tabou, which has since closed, at a time when there always seemed to be violin and piano concerts somewhere in Saint Germain. The concerts and jam sessions, which are obviously open to the general public, start at 6:30pm from Thursday to Saturday.
