6 hotels · Updated February 2026

Hôtel Saint-Germain — 6th Arr. — Saint-Germain-des-Prés
$$$ Upscale
★ 9.1 Superb

6th Arr. — Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Hôtel Saint-Germain

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.

  • Couples
  • Saint-Germain
  • Literary Paris

Le Pavillon de la Reine — Le Marais — Place des Vosges
$$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.4 Superb

Le Marais — Place des Vosges

Le Pavillon de la Reine

A discreet gem tucked behind a vine-covered courtyard off Place des Vosges. The rooms blend dark wood beams with contemporary textiles, and the spa feels like a secret known only to insiders. The most romantically Parisian hotel in the city.

  • Couples
  • Boutique lovers
  • Le Marais
Check Availability
Le Petit Moulin — Le Marais — Rue du Poitou
$$$ Upscale
★ 8.7 Excellent

Le Marais — Rue du Poitou

Le Petit Moulin

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.

  • Boutique
  • Design-forward
  • Le Marais
Check Availability
La Réserve Paris — 8th Arr. — Champs-Élysées
$$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.7 Exceptional

8th Arr. — Champs-Élysées

La Réserve Paris

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.

  • Ultra-luxury
  • Privacy
  • Design
Check Availability
Shangri-La Paris — 16th Arr. — Trocadéro
$$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.5 Exceptional

16th Arr. — Trocadéro

Shangri-La Paris

Napoleon's grand-nephew's former palace, now a hotel with the single best Eiffel Tower view in Paris — framed by every window on the river side. The Cantonese restaurant is the best Asian dining in the city, and the spa is a marble temple.

  • Eiffel Tower views
  • Ultra-luxury
  • Families
Check Availability
Hôtel Plaza Athénée — 8th Arr. — Avenue Montaigne
$$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.6 Exceptional

8th Arr. — Avenue Montaigne

Hôtel Plaza Athénée

The crimson awnings on Avenue Montaigne are a Paris icon. Inside, it's all Alain Ducasse dining, a Dior spa, and suites where the Eiffel Tower fills the window like a painting. Unapologetically palatial.

  • Ultra-luxury
  • Eiffel Tower views
  • Haute couture
