Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
8th Arr. — Avenue Montaigne
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.
2nd Arr. — Grands Boulevards
An 18th-century townhouse reimagined as a rooftop-bar-first social hotel. The rooms are compact but clever — toile wallpaper meets Hay furniture — and the Italian restaurant downstairs packs out nightly. Proof Paris can do cool without being cold.
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 des Vosges
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.
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.
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.
