\"A<\/p>\n

Paris<\/a> is one of my favorite cities in the world. It\u2019s a city I\u2019ve visited countless times, I lived there, I’ve run tours there. I’m one of those people who thinks it lives up to all the hype. <\/p>\n

But, it\u2019s also a huge, sprawling city with 20 different neighborhoods and hundreds of hotels (here’s my neighborhood by neighborhood breakdown of the city<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I field a lot of questions on what area of the city to stay in (answered in the above post). <\/p>\n

But, in this post, I want to talk about my favorite hotels. I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels in Paris. Some good, some really terrible. To help you plan your trip, here\u2019s my list of the best hotels in Paris:<\/p>\n

1. Hotel Bar Paris Bastille<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nI love the location of this hotel: it\u2019s literally right across from the Bastille. A three-star boutique hotel, the sleek rooms have modern and minimalist d\u00e9cor, but they\u2019re not super large. They are really well designed though, using the space efficiently so you won\u2019t feel cramped. They also have excellent soundproofing, lots of natural light thanks to the large windows, as well as flatscreen TVs, AC, a kettle, and free Wi-Fi. The bathrooms, while small, have great water pressure. <\/p>\n

I think this is one of the best value places in the area. It has a bar on the ground floor that\u2019s perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. It also serves a delicious breakfast spread, with lots of variety (including fresh bread and croissants, pancakes, eggs, and cheese).<\/p>\n

2. H\u00f4tel Minerve<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nLocated near Notre Dame and the Sorbonne, this three-star hotel is housed inside a historic 1864 Haussmannian building complete with flowered balconies. The historic interior features exposed stone walls, visible wood beams, and original artwork throughout. I really like the excellent breakfast spread each morning (for an additional cost) that includes lots of cheese, meats, and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n

The recently refurbished rooms are small but comfortable and include common perks like a flatscreen TV, desk, AC, and free Wi-Fi. The bathrooms, while also small, are pristine and have rainfall showers with excellent water pressure. The rooms are well soundproofed too, though the hotel is on a quieter street so there\u2019s little traffic noise. I think this is the best budget choice for travelers who want something affordable but prefer not to stay in a hostel.<\/p>\n

3. Pavillon de la Reine<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nPavillon de la Reine is a five-star hotel in the Place des Vosges, one of the most beautiful and oldest squares in the world. The hotel used to be the residence of Queen Anne of Austria. The vine-covered 17th-century building is gorgeous, with a beautiful inner courtyard garden and a spa featuring a hammam, hot tub, and fitness center. <\/p>\n

The rooms are all uniquely and lavishly decorated, with aristocratic furnishings like elaborate chandeliers and fine art on the fabric-coated walls. All rooms are comfortable and quiet, and while they aren\u2019t huge, they offer lots of natural light from the enormous windows. Each room has AC, free Wi-Fi, a minibar, desk, and flatscreen TV. The bathrooms are spacious and feature elegant tiles as well as upscale bath products. Breakfast isn\u2019t included, and while it\u2019s not cheap it is exceptional (the on-site Michelin-starred restaurant is worth a visit if you want to splash out). Paris has some luxury places and I think this is one of the best if you’re looking to spend some dough.<\/p>\n

4. Le Relais Montmartre<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nThis cute four-star hotel is on a quiet street in Montmartre, one of my favorite areas of the city. The rooms have a rustic charm, with exposed beams and vintage furniture. They also feature soft pastel colors and floral fabrics, creating a relaxing atmosphere for your stay. A continental breakfast is served each morning, and while it\u2019s not included in the price, it is served in a really cozy vaulted cellar below the hotel.<\/p>\n

Like most hotels in Paris, the rooms here aren\u2019t huge, but they are colorful and bright. They also include free Wi-Fi, a coffee\/tea maker, minibar, desk, and flatscreen TV. The bathrooms are a bit dated, but everything is clean and the water pressure is great. The hotel is just a three-minute walk to the Moulin Rouge too, so you really can\u2019t beat this location. It’s also one of the most affordable hotels in the area, especially for the class of service you get.<\/p>\n

5. H\u00f4tel Wyld Saint Germain<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nThis boutique three-star hotel is super stylish. Each air-conditioned room is decorated with bright pops of color, such as colorful duvets or bright murals on the walls (some rooms even have colored lights). There\u2019s a distinct arty flair to the d\u00e9cor. It\u2019s just a short walk to the Pantheon and Notre Dame, and there\u2019s a simple continental breakfast with fresh daily croissants available (for an additional charge, although it\u2019s a pretty good value). <\/p>\n

Rooms feature a flatscreen TV, electric kettle, and free Wi-Fi. They\u2019re not huge, but they are well-designed and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Some rooms also have balconies. The bathrooms, while also small, have modern fixtures and colorful tiles. The showers have good water pressure too.<\/p>\n

6. Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nThis four-star hotel sits in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. You literally can\u2019t stay much closer than this (some rooms even have balconies looking out at the tower). The hotel is modern and minimalist, and everything is sleek and spotless. There\u2019s a stylish restaurant on-site (where you can get breakfast in the mornings), as well as a wine bar. Both feature lots of greenery and plants that really brighten up the space. The hotel has a fitness center too (open 24\/7).<\/p>\n

Decorated in a contemporary style, rooms feature comfy beds, a desk, flatscreen TVs with Chromecast, Nespresso machines, Alexa docking stations, and plush bathrobes. The bathrooms are large, with roomy walk-in rain showers that have excellent water pressure. If you want to stay near the Eiffel Tower, stay here.<\/p>\n

7. H\u00f4tel Th\u00e9r\u00e8se<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nThis four-star boutique hotel is in a restored 18th-century building in central Paris. A family-run business, the hotel is cozy and welcoming (the staff really go above and beyond). I appreciate the hotel\u2019s attention to sustainability, the stylish decor, and the incredible breakfast. It features an awesome selection of freshly baked pastries, artisanal cheeses, fruit, eggs, and yogurt. <\/p>\n

The rooms are compact (but that\u2019s to be expected in such a central location) and feature classy d\u00e9cor with unique artwork curated by the owners. All rooms include a desk, Bluetooth speakers, flatscreen TV with Chromecast, a minibar, and plush bathrobes. The bathrooms are also quite small, but they\u2019re sparkling clean with walk-in showers and luxury bath products. It’s one of my absolute favorite places to stay in the city.<\/p>\n

8. Hotel du Louvre<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"A
\nThis five-star hotel is also in a historic building in central Paris (it\u2019s literally across the street from the Louvre). It’s a Hyatt property (use points if you can) and was recently renovated. The lobby is stately and grand, with marble floors and high ceilings. There\u2019s a traditional brasserie on-site that serves an excellent breakfast in the mornings too. There’s also a chic cocktail lounge that serves botanical drinks and seasonal dishes under a beautiful glass roof. Twice a week, there\u2019s live jazz here as well (a big plus in my book).<\/p>\n

The rooms are stylishly decorated and bright and airy thanks to the large windows. They’re well insulated too so you don’t hear a lot of noise from the street. All rooms have a mini fridge, a minibar, flatscreen TV, electric kettle and Nespresso machine, and a desk. The bathrooms are huge with luxury bath products, robes, and slippers. This is a really nice choice for a higher-end stay in the heart of the city. <\/p>\n
