141 Best Hotels in Paris, France

No detail was left to chance at this ravishing hotel in a restored 1920s building on a posh corner of the Golden Triangle. Rooms are models of modern luxury in elegant shades of celadon, dusty rose, or teal with plush velour, marble, and brass accents in design furnishings and fabrics. Suites have marble fireplaces and terraces, and street-facing rooms on the top three floors offer stunning Eiffel Tower views and plenty of quiet. The hotel's stylish Café 52 is a good choice for dining in this pricey neighborhood.

Interior design superstar Laura Gonzalez has combined the neighborhood’s Japanese influences (Rue Saint-Anne) and its Belle Époque glamour (Opéra Garnier) to opulent effect in this poised hotel. Woven bamboo wall coverings, lustrous dark wood, lacquered cabinets for the minibar, and semitransparent window scrolls create a tranquil cocoon that you’ll hate to leave, except for perhaps an hour-long dip in the private pool, refreshing cocktails at the cozy bar, or dinner at Hanabi, the hotel’s chic Japanese-French restaurant. Second-floor rooms in this historic Haussmannian building sport towering ceilings and some rooms come with a balcony (or two). All the rooms feature spacious russet-tiled bathrooms (some with separate bathtub and shower), Nespresso machines, and all the 5-star touches you can imagine.

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. The compact rooms are generally minimalist, with sleek dark-wood furnishings, polished concrete bathrooms with Molton Brown toiletries and spacious walk-in showers with oversize "rainwater" shower heads. Open for breakfast, the stylish bar in the building at the back of the courtyard attracts fashionable locals in the evening.

In 1878, what was a stately home owned by a noble French family was converted to an intimate hotel favored by aristocrats and, later, fashion icons. Decor boasts a contemporary, understated allure, and many rooms have a classic Parisian feel, with French windows under the eaves overlooking the street below.

Italian marble, exposed brick, rough concrete, and sleek wood mix with leather, feathers, Swarovski crystals, and fiber-optic fairy lights to give this boutique hotel a genuinely eclectic atmosphere. Fabrics and framed prints evoke the couture culture of the posh Faubourg St-Honoré, while bathrooms feature retro wall coverings and closets have satin fringe curtains. Conveniently located across from the métro station, the 123 gets extra points for being within walking distance to major sights and shopping. The service can be inconsistent, but the polished rooms and lovely bathrooms will put you in a prime location without exorbitant prices.

The historic Bristol ranks among Paris's most exclusive hotels and has numerous accolades to prove it, as does its Michelin-starred restaurant. Some of the spacious and elegant rooms have authentic Louis XV and Louis XVI furniture, embroidered silk fabrics, and marble bathrooms; others have a more relaxed 19th-century style. The public salons are stocked with old-master paintings and sculptures, sumptuous Oriental carpets and tapestries, gilded chandeliers, and fine antiques. The award-winning Épicure—one of Paris's great hotel restaurants—has a beautiful outdoor courtyard terrace to enjoy in warmer weather. Exclusive Swiss La Prairie products are used in the eight treatment rooms of the stunning spa, featuring private outdoor terraces and gourmet snacks.

Modern, cheerful, and very zen, Le Six hotel and spa has a fireplace-equipped common room, a small library, and elegant, quiet rooms with individual Nespresso machines. The organic breakfasts are served in the glass-roofed winter garden or via room service. Try reserving one of the three deluxe rooms with private balconies, so you can have breakfast or a romantic evening cocktail en plein air. If you're feeling more sociable, hotel guests are welcome to share an aperitif with the manager around the fireplace. Relax after a day of walking and treat yourself to a massage or free hammam in the basement level spa (reservations are a must). 

The colors of this hotel are a cheerful mix of smoky blues, pinks, and yellows, paired with William Morris prints, making it feel fresh, whimsical, and soothing all at once. The lobby sports a lovely bar and plush sofas but is also very family-friendly, providing costumes and special surprises for their youngest guests. 

The crown jewel of Left Bank hotels, this magnificent Art Nouveau behemoth has a long history of hosting illustrious painters and writers such as Matisse, Picasso, James Joyce, and many others. Occupied by German soldiers during World War II, the hotel later became a repatriation center when Paris was liberated in 1944. The hotel has undergone substantial renovations over the years and continues to be recognized as a world-class, five-star hotel, though other than the spectacular exterior and high, vaulted ceilings on the ground floor, there is little trace of the hotel's former, old-school Parisian charm. Today it draws travelers with deep pockets who love the Left Bank and state-of-the-art amenities like sleek, ultramodern rooms, luxury services, a wonderful spa and swimming pool, three restaurants, and one of the swankiest bars in town. 

Chic, cozy, and welcoming, you couldn't land in a more charming Parisian boutique hotel.

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.

This discreet boutique hotel in a quiet corner overlooking Eglise St-Sulpice is perfect if you're seeking a romantic and cozy hideaway in the sought-after St-Germain-des-Prés district. From its humble beginnings as a family-owned bed-and-breakfast, the establishment quickly made a name for itself. What this hotel lacks in space it makes up for with amenities and attentive service. The decor is a mix of 20th-century styles, with Egyptian-cotton linens, plush carpeting, original artwork, and thoughtfully designed lighting. Corner rooms are the most spacious, with views of the Eiffel Tower on the top floors. Rooms overlooking the courtyard are the quietest. Complimentary afternoon tea and aperitifs are provided in the lounge, the perfect spot to indulge in a quiet Parisian moment.

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.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more welcoming, stylish, and reasonably priced hotel in an upscale neighborhood that rarely combines all three characteristics. At this 45-room boutique hotel, you can add the bonus of a beautiful rooftop terrace with Eiffel Tower views, a sauna, a Scandinavian bath, and a sunbathing deck. Pleasantly streamlined rooms are bathed in sunlight and sport sleek Art Deco–inspired decor and ample terrazzo baths. The chic bar (open Tuesday through Saturday) serves a small but delicious menu of cocktails and gourmet small dishes (designed by a top restaurant nearby), and the buffet breakfast is perfect.

Sarah Bernhardt and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle adored this elegant Belle Époque hotel, an epitome of Haussmannian grandeur inaugurated in 1862 by the Empress Eugenie herself, and today the guest rooms, many with eye-popping views of the Opéra Garnier, blend old-world luxury with 21st-century glamour. Five exquisite suites offer balconies, grand panoramas, and all the extravagance of a palace hotel but with the cozy chic of your very own Paris apartment. La Parisienne, under the eves, is as romantic a room as you could dream up, with a picture-perfect view of the Eiffel Tower. The stunning Balmain spa, glass-roofed winter garden, and historic Café de la Paix—both historic monuments beloved by the likes of Josephine Baker and Marlene Dietrich—round out your quintessentially Parisian stay.

The chic Kimpton line's first Parisian outpost is located inside a stunning Art Nouveau landmark building—once part of the upscale Samaritaine department store—and each of the deco-inspired rooms is different: some offer balconies, others stellar views to the Eiffel Tower or the Opéra a stone's throw away. All come with luxurious interiors, featuring plush designer furniture, ample marble baths, top-of-the-line bedding, and original artwork. Amenities include a California-inspired indoor-outdoor restaurant, an indoor pool, a small spa, and a rooftop cocktail bar with jaw-dropping views of Paris.

Entering this hotel set in a lively, lightly touristed quarter of Paris is like stepping into an enchanted garden. Using elements such as the bar’s flowered ceilings, birdsong in the elevators, and cheerful guest rooms (some with private terraces) in sunny pastel yellows, blues, and greens, Swedish designer Martin Brudnizki has conjured a bucolic getaway complete with two garden terraces: one adjacent to the eponymous restaurant and another outside the rooftop cocktail bar (with stellar views of Paris). There's more enchantment in the Holidermie spa, with its quartet of mosaic Roman baths—in the order of salt, hot, cold, and whirlpool—and a sauna and hammam too. The more casual café, overlooking bustling Rue Cadet, serves a menu of sweet and savory dishes plus coffee, cocktails, and drinks from 7:30 am until 11:30 at night.

Set in a splendid 19th-century mansion just steps from the presidential palace and the American embassy, this aristocratic lodging is one of the city's most elegant small hotels. Rooms are sumptuous, done up in a mix of period antiques and deluxe contemporary design, with silk-damask walls, large marble baths, and herringbone parquet floors. Enjoy a cocktail by the fire in the magnificent lounge or fine dining at the gastronomic restaurant Le Gabriel. The full-service spa and pool cater to your total relaxation.

Set in a 1930s former France Telecom exchange, the Art Deco–era building's streamlined contours create the ideal setting for spaces that mix modern elegance with high-tech advances, while making the most of some very Parisian views of nearby Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower a few blocks away.

This neighborhood institution has been restored to its former Art Nouveau glory, complete with a great restaurant and semi-private bar. The decor is cozy and elegant, and there are a variety of rooms, including a handful with Eiffel Tower views. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the restaurant Annette sports a classic French menu and is quickly becoming the go-to place for locals and guests.

Set in a 19th-century Haussmannian mansion, Le Narcisse Blanc covers all the bases in luxury accommodations with a top-notch gastronomic restaurant (Cléo), stylish common areas including a pretty garden terrace, and a full-service spa with a swimming pool and fitness, sauna, and steam rooms. The hotel's 30 spacious rooms are all unique: some flooded with light from floor-to-ceiling windows, others with private terraces and sweeping panoramas of Paris and views of the Eiffel Tower. All are elegantly decorated in relaxing hues. The hotel's Left Bank location is a quick walk from the Musée Rodin, the Seine, and the Eiffel Tower, as well as great dining and shopping.

You'll have the Eiffel Tower, Sacré Coeur, or the beautiful Église Saint-Eustache as your view for the night from the arching atelier-style windows of your swanky room at this elegant hotel set in the city's beautifully restored 19th-century Louvre post office. Courtyard-facing rooms have garden views, some with a private terrace. The decor mixes a soothing palette of polished wood and burnished golds with state-of-the-art technology and cheeky touches, like the mail art beautifully displayed in the rooms. The hotel's stunning ground-floor café and glamorous Franco-Japanese La Plume restaurant on the roof are definitely worth a visit, especially in warm weather, when you can take advantage of the 10,000-square-foot rooftop garden to dine, sip a cocktail, or sun yourself on a beach chair. There's also a full-service spa and fitness room. What's more, you're within minutes of some of Paris's top museums, including the Centre Pompidou and the Louvre.

Tucked away on a quiet street so close and yet far enough from the bustling Bastille, this is one of Paris's more elegant boutique lodgings. Artsy touches abound and skylights or balconies in the rooms assure plenty of daylight, all the better to take in every deluxe detail: hand-crafted wood, custom furniture, chic lighting, designer wallpapers and textiles, and marble baths. It adds up to an ultraglamorous lodging with the trappings of a five-star hotel, including a chic restaurant with outdoor seating, a popular cocktail lounge, and a small spa with sauna, hammam, and a micro-pool.

Scrupulously devoted to the legacy of Marcel Proust, what this gorgeous hotel lacks in space it makes up for in sheer opulence. Each of the 22 rooms recalls a writer or artist friend of the author or a character from his writings, and all are splendidly arrayed in silk, hand-embroidered, or brocade wallpapers and matching upholstery designed by historic fabric houses. Meticulously sourced original period artwork, writing nooks, and chic bathrooms (in obsidian marble with pressed leather wallpapers) complete the vibe. A sumptuous winter garden, a reading room (lined with original leather-clad volumes), and a bar draw a Proust-worthy crowd, but the exquisite pool and hammam—created by craftspeople to the King of Morocco—are reserved for guests only.

Of Paris's palace hotels, the Mandarin Oriental is among the most contemporary, with a soaring marble entryway and a sleek, luxe style that is a welcome contrast to the historic grande dames. The hotel has cultivated a fiercely loyal clientele that relishes its lovely, Asian-inspired rooms, featuring lustrous dark-wood furnishings and creamy walls, accented with deep mauve or taupe, and spotless white-marble baths.

This cosmopolitan, five-star boutique hotel, three minutes from the Champs-Élysées but far removed from the hubbub, brings a welcome frisson of romance to the neighborhood, with opulent, jewel-like decor featuring glittering mirrors, deluxe fabrics and linens, and design-forward furnishings. Four luminous top-floor suites offer lovely views of the Paris rooftops (one has views of the Eiffel Tower and the Sacré-Coeur from the terrace). A private duplex apartment set in the garden boasts not one but two private garden patios. A small spa and the excellent Michelin-starred Galanga restaurant and bar—with garden seating in summer—make this a lovely spot to travel to exotic places while not stepping foot from Paris.

You'll find discreet old-world service and tranquility at this venerable hotel set back off a quiet street among its own flagstone courtyard and gardens. The 13th-century, stone-vaulted cellar has been transformed into a luxury Guerlain spa, complete with a gym, sauna, and whirlpool.

Hiding behind a classic, 19th-century facade is this fresh, 1930s-influenced hotel, which was fully remodeled in 2018 by designer Didier Gomez. Under a huge atrium skylight, the lobby's urban-chic design sets the mood. Imported woods and black slate accent the hotel's sauna, steam room, and countercurrent swimming pool. Rooms have modern amenities like flat-screen TVs and free high-speed Internet.

In novels, songs, and common parlance, there's not a word that evokes the romance and luxury of Paris better than the Ritz. Since its opening in 1898, the storied hotel has attracted le tout Paris: the personalities synonymous with the city who burnished the hotel's prestige with their glamour and mystique—Marcel Proust, Coco Chanel, Ernest Hemingway. While all the revered nooks stay reassuringly the same, albeit buffed to a new gleam (including the hallowed Hemingway bar and the legendary pool), state-of-the-art enhancements include a sybaritic Chanel spa, a retractable roof over the interior garden, a €8,600-a-night Hemingway Suite with private patio, and a sumptuous restoration of each of the hotel's 143 rooms.

In this hotel on the top floors of one of architect Jean Nouvel's shimmering Duo Towers, guests get an unprecedented view of Paris from one of the city's tallest buildings and its second-tallest hotel. Stylish interiors by Philippe Stark combine contemporary warmth with state-of-the-art technology, like automated window blinds from your bedside touch control. 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.
