Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
6th Arr. — Saint-Germain-des-Prés
A pocket-sized left-bank hotel where every surface drips with character — exposed stone walls, antique mirrors, velvet headboards. Steps from Café de Flore, the Luxembourg Gardens, and some of the best bookshops in the world.
8th Arr. — Champs-Élysées
A Haussmannian mansion reborn as a 40-suite sanctuary, each room decorated like a private apartment with Carrara marble, Goyard trunks, and silk wall panels. The library-bar serves the best cocktails in the 8th. Discretion is the currency here.
Le Marais — Rue du Poitou
Christian Lacroix turned a former bakery into 17 rooms of maximalist theatre. Every room is different — toile meets pop art, stripes clash with florals — yet somehow it all coheres into something deeply, joyfully Parisian.
Le Marais — Place du Marché Sainte-Catherine
The budget secret of Le Marais. Modest rooms but an unbeatable location on one of Paris's prettiest squares, with a breakfast room that feels like a grandmother's dining room. Book months ahead — regulars hoard this place.
3rd Arr. — Arts et Métiers
A design-centric hotel in the Upper Marais where the rooms are deliberately pared back — concrete, brass, linen — but the rooftop restaurant overlooking Paris's zinc roofscapes is pure theatre. One of the best hotel restaurants in the city.
5th Arr. — Latin Quarter
A tranquil left-bank retreat steps from the Jardin des Plantes. The rooms are dressed in sage greens and creamy stone, the breakfast courtyard is an Instagram trap, and the neighbourhood feels like the Paris of Hemingway's memoirs.
