​​Our Paris Hotels List

Paris is by no means short on hotels, and the character of each quartier can completely shape your stay—whether you’re cosplaying Gigi on the Left Bank with a dose of Belle Époque glamour, or channeling Gene Kelly in Montmartre in a perfect hôtel particulier. While the plush comforts of a gilded palace hotel—marble tubs, cloud-like beds, and a perfect martini in the bar—are a fantasy we love to indulge, it’s the neighborhood spots that draw us back. The hotels anchored to their surroundings, where design reflects a sense of place and the staff seem like locals who just happen to have great taste—like the warm wood and Japanese details at Hotel Hana in Little Tokyo, the sexy, velvet-draped cool of Le Pigalle, or the low-lit charm of Château d’Eau in Strasbourg-Saint-Denis that feels like a ‘70s film set in the best way. Our hotels list spans (nearly) every arrondissement, with a Paris for every mood and traveler—which will only make you want to return and discover a new address to fall for. 

P.S. We’ve also highlighted more affordable hotels with a CM (for “Costa Meno”—our code for under €350 a night!). 

1st Arrondissement 

Encompassing the Louvre and the Tuileries, the Palais Royal, Rue Saint Honoré, and of course Place Vendôme, the 1st is all about marquee sights wrapped in Parisian elegance—while being a straight shot by foot or metro to cooler areas like Le Marais and the 10th. 

Château Voltaire – A cool contrast of 17th-century bones and lighthearted interiors by Parisian design studio Festen.

Maison Armance – This 20-room former home of Stendhal feels more like a pied-a-terre than a hotel. The property is also home to a French bulldog named Filou, who kids adore. (Read our Guest Book here.) (CM)

The Ritz Paris – The lavish former haunt of the likes of Coco Chanel and Marcel Proust on Place Vendôme, it’s also home to the old-school charmer, Bar Hemingway.
