63 Best Hotels in Paris, France

With a location in a hidden, tree-shaded courtyard off a nondescript street minutes from Père-Lachaise cemetery, no lodging in the capital is quite as unobtrusively fabulous as this trailblazing, 100% sustainable, five-room eco-lodge.

This sleek revival of a 100-year-old neighborhood hotel that closed in the 1970s is a favorite with the international set, whether staying the night or just stopping in for a stylish bite or drink at the wildly popular cocktail bar. The retro-chic interiors by hotel design star Dorothée Meilichzon epitomize the kind of pared-down elegance that's become so popular in Paris.

For that traditional French feeling, book into this intimate, affordable, romantic hotel—the theme is the work of former next-door neighbor Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, a supplier of military aid to American revolutionaries and the playwright who penned The Marriage of Figaro and The Barber of Seville.

Richly decorated with provincial fabrics and antique period furnishings, the rooms have original beams and hand-painted bathroom tiles, updated with flat-screen TVs. 

Prices at this small boutique hotel in an upscale neighborhood are fairly reasonable considering all you get—top-notch service, stylish and homey decor, a lively neighborhood, a variety of amenities, and some spectacular views.

At this chic hotel, tucked away in plain sight on Boulevard Poissonière, even the smallest of the minimalist jewel-toned rooms (some with balconies or garden terraces) feels elegant, with tall windows, marble touches, and Marie-Antoinette–worthy draped headboards. Everything in your room has been "sourced," from the Swedish Sjostrand coffee makers and coffee pods from London to the gourmet juices in the minibar. At the intimate Shell cocktail bar—catnip for hip locals—you choose the amount of alcohol (if any) in your bespoke cocktail, which may feature health-conscious ingredients like kombucha, basil juice, or smoked salt. The rooftop bar, central courtyard (glass-covered in winter months), and trend-conscious restaurant make this a great all-in-one stay.

A stylish Art Deco upgrade gave this 19th-century mansion two blocks from the Champs-Élysées a sleek period look enhanced by refined contemporary touches.

The funky mix-and-match interior crosses industrial-loft style with eclectic antiques and still manages to be warm and welcoming. The friendly staff are always on the lookout for ways to improve your stay. Though on the smaller side, rooms are ample enough, with big windows and stylish decor, and bathrooms have soothing rain showerheads. The small in-hotel spa includes a gym, steam room, and a range of beauty treatments and massages (must be booked in advance).

In the less-traveled corner of the trendy Marais district, this contemporary boutique hotel with an easy-to-miss industrial facade and three buildings set around a historic courtyard feels almost like an art gallery.

A glamorous addition to the fabulous (if off-the-beaten-path) 9e arrondissement, the Parister flaunts its design creds in even the tiniest of details, from its gorgeous common spaces to its sparse but elegant rooms. Spring for a room with private terrace or one in a towering duplex; however, if your budget doesn't permit, you can enjoy a comparable view from the outdoor patio. The hotel has a super-stylish restaurant and bar. Have a drink after a dip in the adorable skylit pool.

If you feel like being away from it all, but in a fairly self-sufficient setting with a good on-site restaurant and a chic bar with stupendous views, this is the place.

Pleasantly streamlined rooms are bathed in sunlight and sport sleek Art Deco–inspired decor and ample terrazzo baths.

All rooms offer nearly floor-to-ceiling views along with wraparound windows from the bathrooms. The top-notch Asian-inspired TOO restaurant and the TacTac skybar are perched on the building's top floors, and the hotel definitely has Paris's highest spa, with stellar views from the outdoor Jacuzzi. It might be a bit off the beaten path, but prices luckily reflect the up-and-coming neighborhood, and the hotel is a quick and easy métro ride—or a scenic walk along the Seine—to central Paris.

One of the best things about this comfortable six-story hotel is that it's smack in the middle of Rue de Buci, in the lively St-Germain-des-Prés district. This means you can breakfast at Paul (the well-known French boulangerie), shop at the Marché St-Germain indoor market, and then relax with an espresso at Bar du Marché. The hotel's contemporary rooms are 1950s retro-colorful, while bathrooms are in marble and chrome. Although there's no restaurant, you can enjoy a generous breakfast buffet in the downstairs breakfast room and room service from Café Mabillon next door.

This small budget boutique hotel minutes from the Eiffel Tower mixes contemporary amenities and furnishings with Art Nouveau flourishes. There are homey touches in the lounge-bar and breakfast room, where a hearty spread of fresh juices, croissants, brioches, cheeses, yogurts, and fruit is served daily. Despite its location, the hotel has rates that are as appealing as its sleek look (black-and-white stripes feature heavily) and luxury linens. Traveling en famille? Family rooms join two standards to accommodate four to five people.

The rough-hewn wood facade heralds the eco-friendly theme of this under-the-radar boutique hotel a block from the Arc de Triomphe, and the interior follows through with handcrafted glass, wood, stone, and ceramic decor.

Children are welcome; baby cribs and high chairs are even available.

Exposed stone walls, wooden beams, and medieval artwork echo the style of the Musée Cluny, two blocks from this charming, family-run hotel. Rooms convey a less elaborate, more streamlined aesthetic than the lobby, and they're relatively quiet owing to the side-street location.

This small hotel with exposed wooden beams and traditional styling sits on a side street in a 17th-century hôtel particulier (a grand town house) that's just a few minutes from the Centre Pompidou and the numerous bars and cafés of Rue Vieille du Temple. Choose either chambres classiques or chambres de charme; the latter are larger (and pricier), with more elaborate furnishings like Louis XIII–style four-poster canopy beds and marble bathtubs. Overall, the establishment is impeccably kept by a welcoming staff. A classic French breakfast is served in the vaulted cellar.

With a nod to the work of postmodern designers like Putman and Starck, this stylish boutique hotel is both contemporary and cozy. Rooms are sleek and streamlined, with backlit custom cabinets, glassed-in bathrooms, and fabric or faux-leather wall coverings. A spacious outdoor terrace is off the breakfast room. Head to the bar area and lobby lounge for a predinner aperitif. A small fitness room and sauna also woo guests. Although it's accessible to major monuments and museums, the hotel attracts mostly business travelers.
