Top 10 Hotels in Paris

Top 10 Hotels in Paris

Paris hotels split roughly into two camps: the Left Bank's boutique scene around Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter, where design-led properties occupy 18th-century townhouses a short walk from Notre-Dame and Luxembourg Gardens, and the Right Bank's grand names near the Louvre, Palais Royal and Champs-Élysées, where the classic Parisian palace-hotel experience still holds. Both sides put you within easy Metro reach of everything else, so the choice is really about atmosphere: intimate and literary on the Left Bank, or polished and monumental on the Right.

The ten hotels below mix both, from a nautical-themed newcomer near Montparnasse to a Hyatt-run address literally across from the Louvre, and every one carries a strong guest score across hundreds of reviews. We've linked each to its real listing on Booking.com, Agoda, Trip.com and Expedia so you can compare live rates for your dates.

1. Hôtel Des Grands Voyageurs

Designer Fabrizio Casiraghi built Hôtel Des Grands Voyageurs around a Golden Age of Travel theme, and it shows in every detail — rope-detailed corridors, star-strewn navy carpets, dark wood and brass across 134 rooms spread over seven floors. It's between Saint-Germain and Montparnasse, a two-minute walk from Saint-Placide Metro station and seven minutes from Luxembourg Gardens, with an infrared sauna and gym that are unusually well-equipped for a boutique property this size. The sea-focused French-American restaurant on the ground floor channels both Paris and New York in one room, with an underground cocktail bar that runs a live DJ on weekends.

Reviewers consistently praise the clean, quiet, safe location and the overall design, calling it one of the more distinctive stays in the city. You can check room availability on Booking.com for your dates.

2. Hôtel Dame des Arts

Dame des Arts sets a cinematic tone in the Latin Quarter, built around the atmosphere of the French Nouvelle Vague with tactile woods and custom-crafted furnishings across 109 rooms, each with a minibar and an espresso machine. The rooftop terrace is the real draw here, delivering fantastic views over Notre-Dame, Sacré-Cœur and the Eiffel Tower, and the hotel runs live music most evenings plus Dame's Comedy Club for intimate entertainment right on the property. It's six minutes' walk to Notre-Dame and twelve to the Louvre, close enough to everything without sitting in the densest tourist crush.

Guests consistently highlight the meticulous decoration, the very comfortable beds, and above all the rooftop bar, which draws a mixed crowd of hotel guests and locals. You can compare room types on Agoda before booking.

3. Grand Hôtel Du Palais Royal

A Small Luxury Hotels of the World member set inside an 18th-century building 200 feet from the Louvre and the Palais Royal gardens, the Grand Hôtel Du Palais Royal completed a major renovation in 2023 and it shows in every one of its 59 rooms and suites. The Holidermie spa runs body treatments and facials, Café 52 serves organic, seasonal dishes throughout the day, and the hotel's collection of fine art gives the public spaces a genuinely gallery-like feel rather than generic luxury polish. It's the kind of address where the location alone would justify the price, but the design holds up its end too.

Guests consistently describe the hotel as exceptional, citing romantic elegance and a rare sense of Parisian tranquility despite sitting steps from one of the city's busiest landmarks. You can browse suite categories on Trip.com before booking.

4. Hôtel Jardin de Cluny

Set between Notre-Dame and the Sorbonne on a quiet, car-free street in the heart of the Latin Quarter, Jardin de Cluny is a genuinely eco-conscious operation, non-smoking throughout with an organic breakfast served in a 13th-century vaulted dining room. The 39 rooms are simple rather than showy, but the setting does the heavy lifting — village-like Saint-Germain-des-Prés atmosphere with its market, cafés and boutiques right outside, and the Panthéon a seven-minute walk away. It's a strong pick for travelers who want the Left Bank literary feel without paying for a design-forward lobby.

Reviewers consistently praise the peaceful, charming boutique vibe and the quality of the organic breakfast, with couples rating the location especially highly. You can check current rates on Booking.com for your dates.

5. Hotel Malte - Astotel

Behind a striking 17th-century façade in the 2nd arrondissement, Hotel Malte puts you a ten-minute walk from the Louvre and a short stroll from Place Vendôme and Palais Garnier, with 64 soundproofed rooms featuring double-glazed windows and complimentary minibars. The Astotel group's signature touch is a free Open Bar every afternoon in the lobby — hot and cold drinks with sweet and savory snacks — which turns the lobby into a genuine social space rather than a pass-through. A fireplace and terrace round out the common areas, and buffet breakfast can be taken outside when the weather cooperates.

Guests consistently praise the exceptionally friendly and attentive service and the central location near the Louvre and metro, calling it a strong value pick for the neighborhood. You can see room rates on Agoda before booking.

6. Victoria Palace Hotel

Victoria Palace sits on a quiet 6th-arrondissement street close to Le Bon Marché and Montparnasse station, with a marble lobby featuring painted ceilings that sets a genuinely grand tone before you even reach the rooms. Every soundproofed room comes with a laptop safe, bathrobes and slippers, and the Wellness Club adds a sauna, massage room and fitness space that's unusual to find at this scale in central Paris. The James Bar handles light bites and aperitifs in an intimate setting, and the hotel's proximity to the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Latin Quarter makes it an easy base for walking most of the Left Bank's highlights.

Reviewers consistently rate this among the best 4-star options on the Left Bank, citing the spacious, soundproofed rooms and the quality of the wellness facilities. You can check package rates on Expedia for your dates.

7. Hôtel Elysia by Inwood Hotels

A Haussmannian mansion a short stroll from the Champs-Élysées, Hôtel Elysia packs genuine five-star detail into just 39 rooms — most with a spa bath and a marble fireplace, all with a Malongo coffee machine and high-speed WiFi. Le Bayadère, the on-site fine-dining restaurant, sits under a skylight and serves brunch through dinner, and the private sauna and spa area give the hotel a boutique-retreat feel that's rare this close to Place de la Concorde. Valet parking and a genuinely attentive staff round out an experience built for travelers who want five-star service without a five-hundred-room hotel.

Guests consistently describe the staff as going above and beyond, with rooms praised as stunning, spacious and quintessentially Parisian in outlook. You can check suite availability on Booking.com before you book.

8. Lord Byron

Open since 1850 and renovated in 2019, Lord Byron sits five minutes from the Champs-Élysées and the George V Metro stop, with 52 rooms decorated in an elegant, antique-furnished style that leans classic rather than trendy. A private courtyard hosts breakfast in good weather, and the steam room and fitness center are solid additions for a hotel this size in the 8th arrondissement. It's ten minutes on foot from the Arc de Triomphe, making it a convenient base for exploring both the Champs-Élysées shopping strip and the quieter residential streets around it.

Reviewers consistently highlight the spacious rooms — a genuine rarity in this part of Paris — along with the comfortable beds and the quiet, central location. You can compare room categories on Agoda for your dates.

9. Hôtel le Derby Alma by Inwood Hotels

Derby Alma sits almost exactly between the Eiffel Tower and the Champs-Élysées in the 7th arrondissement, an eight-minute walk from Alma-Marceau Metro and close enough to both landmarks that either makes an easy morning walk. The 33 rooms are compact but well-equipped, some with balconies and sitting areas, all with a minibar fridge and free WiFi, and the fully-equipped gym stays open until 11pm, later than most boutique hotels bother to offer. Buffet breakfast and an on-site bar cover the basics without trying to be more than a well-run, well-located boutique stay.

Guests consistently praise the immaculate cleanliness and the genuinely walkable location between two of Paris's biggest landmarks. You can check room photos on Trip.com before booking.

10. Hôtel du Louvre, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

Sitting directly opposite the Louvre on Place André-Malraux, this Hyatt-run landmark has been a Paris fixture for over 150 years and now runs 177 rooms with private bathrooms and bathtubs, two minutes from the Palais Royal Metro stop. Brasserie du Louvre serves 24-hour room service and a full restaurant menu, and the hotel runs a genuinely useful set of free activities for guests — boules at the Tuileries Garden, guided neighborhood tours, and access to the Napoléon III-style apartments at the Louvre. It's the kind of address where the history does a lot of the work, but the Hyatt-standard service keeps it from coasting on location alone.

Reviews consistently praise the location and staff, with the proximity to the Louvre and Tuileries Garden as the most-cited reason to book. You can check room categories on Booking.com for your dates.
