6th time back to St. James & Albany. Over past 20 years it's been refurbished quit a bit. Mostly good smart changes. One of the few hotels with a grand piano available, although currently lacking a bench. I've heard guests playing Chopin & Rachmaninov pretty well here. Fairly good breakfasts, good bar after 4 PM. On warm days try meals in their courtyard. Very clean, but still showing signs of wear and age. Rooms on courtyards are very quiet. One of the best locations in all of Paris right on Rue de Rivoli across from the Tuileries. Walk to metro station across street. Multiple great restaurants within 5-10 minute walk. Very nice staff. Helpful.
