Hopital Pitie-Salpetriere is the largest hospital in France and one of the most important teaching hospitals in the world, affiliated with Sorbonne Universite and internationally renowned for neurology, cardiology, and psychiatry. The hospital was founded in 1656 and has been a landmark of Parisian medicine ever since, attracting patients and researchers from across the globe. Hotels in the 13th arrondissement and along the Seine offer families excellent access to this historic medical campus while exploring the beauty of Paris.
Our Picks — Paris
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.
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.
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.
10th Arr. — Colonel Fabien
The chicest hostel-hotel hybrid in Paris. Private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, a massive ground-floor café-bar, and a rooftop terrace overlooking Buttes-Chaumont. Budget travel with zero compromise on style.
