63 Best Hotels in Paris, France

Background Illustration for Hotels

If your Parisian fantasy involves romantic evenings in a historic grand-dame or a chic boutique hotel that pampers you in high style, here’s some good news: you don't have to be wealthy to make your dreams come true. With more than 2,000 hotels, the City of Light gives visitors classy options in all price ranges, and a place with plenty of charm is practically a given.

In terms of location and price, there are more hotels on the Rive Droite (the Right Bank) offering formal luxury with premium service than on the Rive Gauche (the Left Bank), where the hotels are frequently smaller though richer in charm. The Rive Droite’s 1er, 8e, and 16e arrondissements are still the most exclusive, and the prices there reflect that. Paris's famed palace hotels—10 hotels in the city that are considered better than a five-star—charge more than €1,000 a night for a standard room, and the high-end competition is heating up. On both sides of the Seine, Paris is in the throes of a lodging renaissance in both established and up-and-coming neighborhoods, with everything from chic new boutique hotels to deluxe five-star dwellings. Major landmark luxury hotels are rising to the occasion with lavish renovations; two of the city's most legendary hotels, the Ritz and the Hôtel de Crillon underwent four-year refurbishments in recent years, and the legendary Lutetia reopened in 2018 after a five-year facelift. All this is good news for high rollers, especially when you factor in extraordinary newer lodgings like the Paris Peninsula and the small but exquisite La Réserve.

But those on a budget should fear not, because less expensive alternatives can be found in the fashionable Marais (the 3e and 4e arrondissements), as well as the Latin Quarter (5e arrondissement), along with a slew of newcomers that have laid their cornerstones in the newly chic 2e (Sentier). The Rive Gauche's 6e arrondissement (Saint Germain) is another hotbed for stylish hotels, and choices on all budgets can be found in the 5e and 7e. Everything from excellent budget deals to splendid designer spaces can also be found slightly off-the-beaten track in the 10e, 13e, and 20e arrondissements. Wherever possible, in the more expensive neighborhoods we’ve located budget hotels—check out the handful of budget-priced sleeps in the shadow of Notre-Dame, St-Germain-des-Prés, and the Louvre.

As for the environment inside your room, change is in the air—literally. Enforcement of the no-smoking law is taken very seriously, with few hotels risking the ire of guests well aware of the laws. Amenities have improved, with virtually every hotel now equipped with cable TV (meaning CNN and BBC news in English), high-definition screens, minibars, in-room safes, and free wireless Internet access. Another recent change is the increasing availability of air-conditioning in both hotels and restaurants—a godsend in the canicules (dog days) of July and August. One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the lack of elbow room. Indoor spaces—from bed- and bathrooms to elevators—may feel cramped to those not used to life on a European scale. If you’re flush and looking for enough room to spread out multiple suitcases, be sure to book a suite; they can be found in virtually any hotel, from the most modest boutique to the palaces.

$$ | 15 rue de la Grande Chaumière, Paris, 75006, France

Hôtel des Grandes Écoles

$$ | 75 rue du Cardinal Lemoine, Paris, 75005, France

Distributed among a trio of three-story buildings set back in a quiet cobbled courtyard, Madame Le Floch's rooms have a distinct grandmotherly vibe because of their flowery wallpaper and lace bedspreads, but they're spacious for this part of Paris. Enter through two massive wooden doors, then proceed to the pretty courtyard and garden, which becomes a second living room in warm weather and is a perfect breakfast spot. Modern touches include Wi-Fi access, room service, and personal safes.

Pros

  • Close to Latin Quarter nightlife spots
  • Lovely courtyard
  • Quiet location

Cons

  • Uphill walk from the métro

Hôtel du Cadran

$$ | 10 rue du Champ de Mars, Paris, 75007, France

Well located and near sights and the métro, Hôtel du Cadran—actually two buildings run by the same management—features contemporary design that appeals as much to business travelers as to urban creative types on a budget. Rooms in lime green and cherry red have modern aesthetics like reflective Lucite paneling, halogen spotlights, and geometric furnishings. Spacious and bright triples and suites are air-conditioned and have flat-screen TVs. With its own private terrace, the family suite can accommodate up to five people.

For pure French flavor, including rooms decorated in floral chintz, check out this intimate hotel in a hidden-away location between Boulevard St-Germain and Rue du Bac.

Hôtel Eiffel Trocadéro

$$ | 35 rue Benjamin-Franklin, Paris, 75116, France

A curious blend of Second Empire and rococo styling awaits guests in this hotel on a quiet corner just off Place Trocadéro. The main-floor lounge-bar–breakfast area is a trendy take on neoclassical antiques and art. Some rooms are traditional and relatively small, with old-style French furnishings and draperies; a more contemporary flavor in others gives the property a somewhat eclectic feel. Eco-friendly rooms have hypoallergenic bedding and biodegradable amenities, as well as modern conveniences like flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Marble bathrooms with whirlpool tubs are a nice touch. Service is friendly and welcoming. Want the best view? Ask for Room 60.

Hôtel Ekta

$$ | 52 rue Galilée, Paris, 75008, France

Two top-tier Paris designers transformed a humdrum 1960s office building into one of the city's liveliest fashion-centric boutique hotels. Bright, compact rooms sport a mod, black-and-white graphic style inspired by '60s designer Courrèges that feels both sleek and cozy, especially the tiniest rooms, whose ingenious layout makes them manageable. More expensive suites are still reasonable for this neighborhood and offer more space—and some terraces—with the same futuristic decor, jazzed up with fashion photos and mirrors.

Pros

  • Great location
  • In-room tea and coffee
  • Charming garden

Cons

  • Some rooms very tiny
  • Small bathrooms
  • Air-conditioned only after May 1

Near the Opéra Garnier and some of the city's best department stores, this family-owned boutique hotel has lots of little extras that make it a great value.

About 50 paces from Notre-Dame and the Seine, this elegant hotel has identical, impeccable rooms with beige and rose linens and framed prints of architectural drawings. Street-side rooms get a bit of traffic noise, but views of the 15th-century Église St-Severin make up for it. The lobby has pleasing terra-cotta floor tiles, pale green walls, and a stone fireplace.

Pros

  • Comfortable decor
  • Close to major sights and RER station
  • Friendly reception staff

Cons

Hôtel Hoy Paris

$$ | 68 rue des Martyrs, Paris, 75009, France

Ethical, sustainable, "zero waste," and entirely focused on your well-being, this distinctive property with feng shui–correct rooms and "indulge and enjoy" as its motto has made quite a splash since its 2020 debut. Accommodations are a sybarite's dream of a monk's chamber—an oasis of calm with plenty of luxe touches: air purifier, yoga mat and stretching bar (instead of a TV), loose tea (aged pu-erh for connoisseurs), microfiltered water, and sumptuous organic skincare products. Treat yourself to one of the many yoga and wellness classes or a holistic therapy session. The excellent restaurant and bar are strictly "plant-based," a bit of a novelty in still meat-centric Paris, and there's a chic florist shop, too.

Pros

  • Numerous healthy details
  • Yoga and wellness classes offered on-site
  • Superb bar and plant-based restaurant

Cons

  • Wellness classes cost extra
  • No TVs
  • Not ideal for hedonists

Hôtel Jeanne-d'Arc

$$ | 3 rue de Jarente, Paris, 75004, France

This hotel is prized for its unbeatable location off tranquil Place du Marché Ste-Catherine, one of the city's lesser-known pedestrian squares, and for its gentler prices in an ever more costly neighborhood. The 17th-century building has been a simple hotel for more than a century, but a recent renovation imparted a clean, contemporary style to the small but functional rooms. Expect basic, comfortable accommodations and simple breakfasts. For more quiet request an upper floor. The welcoming staff is informal and happy to recount the history of this former market quartier.

Pros

  • Charming street close to major attractions
  • Good value for the Marais
  • Lots of drinking and dining options nearby

Cons

  • Noisy garbage trucks and late-night revelers on the square after midnight
  • Rooms quite small
  • No air-conditioning

Lingerie designer Chantal Thomass decorated the magnificently whimsical Cabaret Suite in tribute to the Moulin Rouge, while the Opéra Suite brings out every girl's inner ballerina.

Pros

  • Choice of copious breakfast buffet in a vaulted cellar or quick coffee and croissant
  • In-room massage services available
  • Simple room service available 24 hours a day

Cons

  • Smaller rooms lack closet space

There's no way to be glum at this chic, colorful hotel in a bustling neighborhood between two of Paris's main railway stations, Gare de l'Est and the Gare du Nord. Vintage furniture and paintings paired with lively prints and brilliant colors create a vibrant mood in rooms and common areas. Rooms are on the cozy side, though upper-floor rooms have great views, especially the ones with balconies, some with superb views of the trains coming and going.

Hôtel Saint-Louis en l'Isle

The location on the exceptionally charming Île St-Louis is the real draw of this five-story hotel, which retains many of its original 17th-century stone walls and wooden beams. Tiny balconies on the upper levels have views of the Seine. Corner rooms are brighter and have more spacious bathrooms. Breakfast is served in the vaulted stone cellar.

Hotel Seven

$$ | 20 rue Berthollet, Paris, 75005, France

The "seven" may refer to the level of heaven you'll find at this boutique hotel, but most likely it means the seven suites, where a team of designers and artists were let loose to riff on themes like Music Lovers, Cinephilia, and Spirituality. These suites break the rules with Plexiglas bathrooms and furnishings, "levitating" beds, and ceilings embedded with fiber-optic lights that make even the smallest rooms seem, well, heavenly. The wine bar has an interesting cocktail selection at night.

Pros

  • Fun design elements
  • Copious breakfast buffet for a fee
  • Quiet location near Mouffetard market street

Cons

  • Small closets
  • Several blocks to closest métro

Hôtel Sookie

$$ | 2 bis, rue Commines, Paris, 75003, France

Set at one of the Haut Marais's trendiest crossroads, this vintage-theme and jazz-inspired newcomer (its name comes from a tune by guitarist Grant Green) fits perfectly into the beating heart of the neighborhood. You'll feel right at home in the warm and welcoming interiors—highlighting noble materials, plush designer furnishings, and original artworks—from the stylish common areas to the cozy guest quarters. Beautiful jewel colors and lively touches punctuate the spaces, but the overall feeling is a poised tranquillity that feels both relaxing and fun. The coffee shop downstairs has become a neighborhood favorite for its delicious, healthy all-day brunch menu and fine coffees.

Pros

  • Top-notch café
  • Superfriendly staff
  • Excellent location in the heart of the Marais

Cons

  • Breakfast not included in rates
  • Tiny bathrooms

La Planque Hotel

$$ | 3 rue Arthur Groussier, Paris, 75010, France

Just two blocks from the Canal St-Martin, and within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and both the Gare du Nord and the Gare du l'Est, lies this pretty, little hotel full of vintage charm that's also easy on the wallet. Classy touches such as plush velvet easy chairs, throw pillows, and headboards in romantic colors, plus trendy vintage touches, a charming skylit dining area, cozy library, a small garden terrace, and attentive service, lend a sophisticated air to what is essentially a semi-budget hotel.

Pros

  • Impeccably clean
  • Stylish, functional rooms and bathrooms
  • Well-priced buffet breakfast (€13) and free coffee and tea in breakfast room

Cons

  • Rooms are quite small
  • Not a central location
  • Small but charming bathrooms

Le Général Hôtel

$$ | 5–7 rue Rampon, Paris, 75011, France

Designer Jean-Philippe Nuel applied his sleek styling to Le Général, one of Paris's first affordable, high-design hotels. Daring splashes of fuchsia decorate the walls in the common areas, though the rooms are more subdued, in cream, chocolate, and chestnut. Clever decorative touches include clear-plastic desk chairs, ambient lighting, and silver rubber duckies in the bath. A small fitness center and a full-service bar are nice touches, and close proximity to métro stations is another convenience appreciated by guests.

Pros

  • Friendly service
  • Smart design
  • In popular nightlife district

Cons

  • Noisy neighborhood
  • Not within easy walking distance of major tourist attractions
  • Basic breakfast (not included)
