The Top 26 Paris Hotels of 2024

All eyes will be on Paris this summer, as the French capital plays host to both the Olympics (July 26 to Aug. 11) and Paralympics (Aug. 28 to Sept. 8). The city will be jam-packed with visitors from around the globe, vying for glory and gold — and also for hotel rooms.

Luckily, just as there are activities in Paris for every type of traveler, there is a bevy of fantastic hotel options in the City of Light for every style and price range.

Paris offers stately “palace hotels,” where a white-gloved staff member attends to your every whim, alongside one-of-a-kind boutique hotels that offer a glimpse of day-to-day French life. These are the 26 best hotels in Paris (many of which are available using points).

The prices below are starting rates for the rest of 2024, not just this summer. If you hope to visit Paris during the Olympics in July and August, some hotels may already be sold out or have blackout dates. Many will still have availability, albeit at sky-high prices. However, you could argue that you can’t put a cash or points and miles price tag on visiting one of the world’s most fascinating cities during a once-in-a-lifetime event.

The best areas to stay in Paris

If you’re a first-time tourist in Paris, you might be wondering: What are the best areas of Paris to stay in? It depends on where you want to go and what you want to see. (This summer, beware that major thoroughfares and squares, including the Place de la Concorde and some Metro and train stations, will be closed for the Olympics. Check the city’s public transportation website for the latest updates.)

If museums are your main interest, consider staying at one of the luxury hotels near the Rue de Rivoli or Place Vendome in the 1st Arrondissement. This will give you easy access to the Louvre, hidden gems like the Hotel de la Marine and the flagship boutiques of major fashion brands such as Dior and Christian Louboutin.

There are business and leisure hotels aplenty near the busy Champs-Elysees in the 8th Arrondissement, though you might have to contend with crowds vying for the perfect shot of the Arc de Triomphe. Head southwest to the sleepy 16th Arrondissement for a stay at some of the city’s grandest palace hotels, where the Eiffel Tower is but a quick walk away.

If you’re looking for something more bohemian, you might prefer a hotel in the 3rd and 4th arrondissements’ trendy Le Marais district. There, you can leisurely peruse young designers’ boutiques on your way to sip a cafe au lait.

Then again, nothing beats the romance of the Left Bank’s 5th and 6th arrondissements, which are packed with ancient alleys, historic tea shops and bookstores.

In short, the best area to stay in Paris depends on the experience you want to have — but you’re sure to find one of the best hotels in Paris from our list.

The best hotels in Paris

Although Paris has other hotels with a “palace” designation (reserved for only the finest establishments in France), this one is in an actual former palace. Specifically, it was the home of Prince Roland Bonaparte, the great-nephew of Napoleon. That history (which earned the building Monument Historique status) is on full display in the exquisitely restored public areas. Such spaces include meeting rooms and ballrooms illuminated by twinkling crystal chandeliers and decorated with original gilt filigree, wood paneling, fireplaces, and wall and ceiling frescoes.

The 100 rooms and suites, designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, underplay their grandeur with Empire-style furnishings and simple palettes of cream, gold and robin’s egg blue. Some also feature jaw-dropping views of the Eiffel Tower.

Guests can start their evening with a drink in Le Bar Botaniste, decked out with decor inspired by the interior of Napoleon’s war tent and featuring a creative cocktail list that pays homage to Roland Bonaparte’s love of horticulture. Shangri-La’s signature Shang Palace plates up extravagant Chinese feasts, while the greenhouse-like La Bauhinia serves dishes inflected with French and Asian accents.

Need a break from museums? The hotel also has a location of Shangri-La’s Chi, The Spa. Treatments are custom-tailored to each guest’s needs and aim to rebalance the mind and body from everyday stresses.

Rates at the Shangri-La Paris start at $1,779 per night.

Art deco features abound at this luxurious hotel in a former 1930s office building. This sumptuous property is situated along the tony Rue Saint-Honore, near Paris’ highest-end fashion boutiques and within walking distance of the Louvre. During your stay, look for a repeating butterfly motif, which you’ll find everywhere, from the carpets and cushions to the walls of the tranquil subterranean spa. At said spa, antioxidant-filled “detox” cocktails follow facials.

Unlike at some of the more flashy Parisian palace hotels, the vibe of the 135 rooms and suites at the Mandarin Oriental lean more toward make-yourself-at-home than over-the-top-aristocrat (if star designer Sybille de Margerie decorated your home, that is). In the guest suites, textiles colored with orchid-like overtones of fuchsia, purple and ivory complement dark wood paneling; you’ll find a mix of white marble, iridescent shades of gold and mother-of-pearl in the bathrooms.

Paris’ many restaurants might beckon, but guests would be remiss to skip a multicourse gourmet lunch in the leafy courtyard at Camelia. Grab-and-go options from Cake Shop are also available.

Rates at the Mandarin Oriental, Paris start at $1,334 per night.

Since opening in 1898 along one side of the tony Place Vendome, the Ritz has been inextricably linked to Paris’ literary and fashion history.

The “In Search of Lost Time” author Marcel Proust saw the hotel as a respite from the city’s bustling streets and frequently dined there. Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald often came to drink at the bar. Coco Chanel checked into a suite in 1937 and stayed for 34 years, eventually passing away in her room.

In 2012, the hotel underwent a 200 million euro ($214 million) transformation. It reopened in 2016 with a new joie de vivre but with the same features and ambience generations of travelers have come to love and expect from the property.

Were he alive today, the sunlight-drenched rooms — decorated with gilt-bordered moldings, gem-toned upholstery, floral prints and half-canopied beds — probably would have impressed the Sun King (aka Louis XIV) himself. He likely would have also been a fan of the Ritz Club & Spa, which has an indoor pool under a painted sky that was immortalized in Adam Gopnik’s book “Paris to the Moon.” (The Biologique Recherche facials are also worthy of mention.)

No respectable Parisian bar hop would be complete without a stop at the clubby, 25-seat Bar Hemingway. However, those in the mood for tea or Champagne should plan a visit to the belle epoque-style Salon Proust instead (and order the madeleines for a walk down memory lane). If you’re in the mood for a sumptuous seafood meal, hop on a red-velvet banquette at Bar Vendome and order a few Maison Gillardeau oysters and a blue lobster roll.

Rates at the Ritz Paris start at $1,960 per night.

The Left Bank’s Hotel Lutetia, which opened in 1910, quickly became a magnet for creatives like Hemingway, Albert Camus, Henri Matisse and James Joyce (who even wrote part of “Ulysses” here while in residence).

After a decades-long gradual decline, the hotel underwent a massive four-year, 200 million euro ($197 million) renovation under French architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte (who also designed the Mandarin Oriental Paris). It reopened in 2018.

There are now 137 rooms and 47 suites at the hotel, six of which feature unique designs. For example, the Suite L’Atelier was created with would-be artists (presumably those with wealthy patrons) in mind; the Suite Amour is meant to evoke the grandeur and romance of a Golden Age ocean liner and is outfitted with a terrace that offers sweeping views of the Paris skyline. Even the standard Grand Superior rooms have deluxe touches such as luminescent Carrara marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and Murano glass fixtures created just for the hotel (what, Lalique wasn’t available?).

It’s not all about the rooms, though. Snag a table for tea under the stained-glass ceiling at Le Saint-Germain (helmed by pastry chef Nicolas Guercio), or stop for a creative cocktail at Bar Josephine — named after Vaudeville singer and dancer Josephine Baker, who used to be a frequent guest. Then, enjoy dinner at Brasserie Lutetia, where chef Patrick Charvet’s menu is a veritable culinary tour of the best of France. Don’t forget to take a little “you” time at the Spa Akasha and its marble-lined pool.

Rates at Hotel Lutetia start at $1,570 per night.

Founded in 1928, this imposing old hotel down the street from the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysees got a new lease on life about a decade ago thanks to a tete-to-toe refurbishment by star designer Philippe Starck. His instantly recognizable touches include a bordello-red glass overhang that welcomes guests to the lobby as well as decor in the public spaces and guest rooms that artfully mix and match design elements from different historical eras (and geometric forms).

The 149 light-filled rooms and suites at Le Royal Monceau are spacious — and not just by Paris standards. Highlights include ostentatious marble-and-mirror bathrooms and playful touches like acoustic guitars standing in the corner, should you feel the urge to strum a romantic ditty.

Another reason to book a stay here: Guests can find the Parisian outposts of chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s Peruvian-Japanese mainstay, Matsuhisa, and the Michelin-starred Italian eatery Il Carpaccio. And if you’d like to enjoy a tipple, part of the fun at Le Bar Long is choosing your own unique glass for your cocktail.

Try not to overindulge because you don’t want to miss a wellness session at the underground Clarins and myBlend Spa, where guests can create custom treatments based on their skincare needs. The heavenly pool isn’t too bad a place to unwind, either.

Rates at Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris start at $1,360 per night.

There are bigger hotels in Paris and fancier hotels in Paris. However, this tiny gem, just blocks from Trocadero in Paris’ sleepy but refined 16th arrondissement, has a couple of things that none of the other hotels do.

First of all, the elevator at Le Dokhan’s is made from a vintage Louis Vuitton steamer trunk — stepping into it feels like stepping back in time.

Secondly, guests can find one of Paris’ oldest and finest Champagne bars at Le Dhokan’s Bar, in a private salon modeled after a grand 18th-century townhouse. The space is outfitted in wood paneling painted a striking shade of pale green with a hint of gilding around the edges. Guests can choose among the 200 or so Champagnes available, including some rare vintages and hard-to-find small producers, while sampling Petrossian caviar, among other delicacies.

Rooms are genteelly decorated with an eye toward the Empire style, with canopy-crown beds and slim-profile wooden chairs and desks. They are, in a word, small. However, you don’t come to Paris to stay in your hotel room — that is unless you book the (surprisingly reasonably priced) Eiffel Suite, which has its own private staircase and offers picture-perfect views of the city’s most famous landmark.

Rates at Le Dokhan’s start at $372 or 42,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night.

Much like people, the most interesting hotels tend to have checkered pasts. Hotel Crillon, a neoclassical landmark that sits along the Place de la Concorde, is perhaps the best example of that rule.

Originally constructed in 1758 as an aristocratic residence, the building famously housed Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette before their executions and was turned into a hotel in 1909. In 2017, the property emerged as part of the fast-growing luxury hotel chain Rosewood after a four-year renovation.

Though the Karl Lagerfeld-designed suites are likely priced out of reach for most, even the deluxe rooms have more than a healthy dose of sophistication. That is thanks to gold- and platinum-toned upholstery, dark wood furnishings and enormous windows that let in that famous Paris light.

For others, the main attraction might be the bustling Bar Les Ambassadeurs, where guests can sip along to live music in the evenings; the ornate Jardin D’Hiver for decadent pastries and tea; or the Michelin-starred L’Ecrin, with contemporary French fine-dining menus.

The hotel also houses a Sense, a Rosewood Spa. It has a dreamy indoor pool with tiling that resembes shimmering fish scales and treatments that incorporate aromatic, plant-based Sisley products.

Rates at Hotel de Crillon start at $1,580 per night.

Founded in 1929, the hotel is simply “art deco-dent.”

Everything about the Prince de Galles — from the awning emblazoned with the hotel’s name in Antiga font and the subtly rippled facade to the glossy black marble floors and fluted chandelier overhanging the lobby — will make you feel like a bright, young thing.

The rooms and suites range from small to opulent (including a Lalique suite with bespoke art), but all are impeccably decorated with polished, wide-grain wooden furniture pieces and plush beds that are perfect for sleeping off that jet lag. The bathrooms, while compact, have fun features like showers tiled with black-and-gold mosaics.

The hotel boasts chef Akira Back’s first European restaurant, Le Patio; it’s an ideal spot to enjoy a cool drink and Korean-Japanese fusion dishes on a warm afternoon under leafy palm trees. Restaurant & Bar 19.20 by Norbert Tarayre, on the other hand, specializes in Champagne and cognac; it is the perfect venue for a post-work drink with a colleague or a nightcap after an evening out on the town.

Rates at the Prince de Galles start at $1,070 or 94,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night.

The first feature (of many) likely to wow you upon entering The Peninsula Paris is “Dancing Leaves” — a hanging glass sculpture designed by Ludek Hroch. It feels like it could sweep you up inside a swirl of magical Parisian sycamore leaves, and it sets the stage for what will surely be a special stay.

The building that now houses the Peninsula initially opened as the Hotel Majestic in 1908 but has also served as a government office and field hospital over the years. It reopened as the Peninsula Paris in 2014.

On the rooftop, visitors can find L’Oiseau Blanc, a two Michelin-starred restaurant inspired by the early days of aviation. In addition to unmatched views of the Eiffel Tower, diners can also feast their eyes upon a full-size replica of the plane in which pilots Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli attempted to cross the Atlantic.

Le Bar Kleber, on the ground floor, is replete with ornate moldings, comfy leather chairs and strong cocktails. It feels like a turn-of-the-century gentlemen’s club where you could debate the merits of the Treaty of Versailles.

The hotel has 200 guest rooms, including 93 suites, with high ceilings and huge windows; they are a pleasure to return to after a hectic day out in the city. The guest rooms have enormous beds backed by recessed headboards of pressed leather that practically invite you to sink in … after a leisurely bath in your black-marble tub, of course.

If your aim is to relax, the hotel is home to an outpost of The Peninsula Spa, the largest luxury hotel spa in Paris. The skincare treatments use France’s high-end Biologique Recherche line of products as well as the Swiss brand Margy’s Monte-Carlo.

Rates at The Peninsula Paris start at $1,575 per night.

The Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome is a cult favorite among points and miles enthusiasts because it allows you to redeem a moderate amount (35,000 to 45,000) of World of Hyatt points per night for rooms that cost upward of $1,000 in cash.

Though some say the hotel is getting on in years and is due for a refresh, the elegant but spare rooms still feel positively palatial (as do the limestone-tile bathrooms that are accented with brushed-brass fixtures). What’s more, World of Hyatt elite members can get more bang for their buck with the possibility of an upgrade to even bigger digs.

Elite members can also enjoy a sumptuous daily breakfast for two served at Cafe Jeanne, where you can start your day outside, weather permitting. There’s the Michelin-starred Pur’ (helmed by chef Jean-Francois Rouquette) for dinner, which has a menu that features creative takes on French classics.

There is no spa or other major amenities, but since the location near the Rue Saint-Honore and the Place Vendome practically puts all of Paris at your fingertips, you’ll have no trouble finding whatever you need nearby.

Rates at the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome start at $1,480 or 35,000 World of Hyatt points per night.

The leafy passage that brings you from picturesque Rue Christine into the inner court of Relais Christine feels like stepping into a portal that transports you to your own private Paris pied-a-terre. It’s no wonder since this charming little boutique lodge operates out of a renovated 17th-century mansion (which, in turn, was built over a 13th-century abbey).

The keyword here is “intimate.” By your second day, every cheerful staff member will know you by name — after all, there are just 48 rooms and suites total. (Try snagging one of the garden suites, which feel like a small, private Parisian park.) And if you would like some curated restaurant, cafe and gallery recommendations, the hotel team will be ready with their nearby favorites.

Interior designer Laura Gonzalez’s decor mixes whimsy and elegance with things like mixed-and-matched wallpaper (think: eye-trickling whorls, sylvan scenes and more) in the individually designed rooms and public spaces. Guests can also expect twinkling crystal-and-gilt chandeliers and Carrara marble bathrooms.

Though there’s no restaurant, guests can tuck into breakfast in one of the former abbey vaults (other vaults house the hotel’s Guerlain-branded spa). Or, they can order a cappuccino and enjoy the lavish living space located just past reception where, on cold days, the purple couches flanking a roaring fireplace are perhaps the coziest spot to be in the hotel. If it’s nice out, you can borrow one of the property’s bikes for a self-guided tour along the nearby Seine.

Rates at Relais Christine start at $570 per night.

Few hotels in Paris have better pedigrees than La Reserve — the building that now houses it was constructed in 1854 by Georges-Eugene Haussmann, the architect behind much of modern Paris as we know it today.

The hotel welcomes guests with a profusion of colors and textures thanks to hotel designer extraordinaire Jacques Garcia’s exuberant vision. Cozy sofas and armchairs upholstered in jewel-toned velvet, finely patterned silk wallpaper are the norm; antique wooden bureaus and armoires decorated with delicate marquetry can be found throughout the hotel. Suites include butler service — some even have working fireplaces for that homey touch.

Though the ambience at Le Gabriel, the hotel’s three-Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant helmed by chef Jérôme Banctel, is somewhat staid, the menus are anything but and include, notably, prix fixe options for vegetarians. La Pagode de Cos serves breakfast and less-formal meals with an international flair in its bright dining room or on the sunny terrace, while the wood-paneled and velvet-draped Duc de Morny Library bar is a premier power lunch spot.

Meanwhile, the Spa at La Reserve offers everything from manicures, pedicures, massages and facials with antiaging Nescens-Swiss products to longer “rituals” that include healthy nonalcoholic cocktails created specially by chef Banctel.

Rates at La Reserve Paris — Hotel and Spa start at $1,700 per night.

Le Bristol has been a favorite among Paris’ jet set and visiting Hollywood stars since it opened in 1925. But these days, it’s looking better than ever thanks to a multiyear renovation at the hands of German-based luxury hotel company Oetker Collection that was completed in 2018.

The central garden (which has historically served as the place to see and be seen) was completely reconceived by landscape designer Arabella Lennox-Boyd. For her geometrically outlined vision, she selected flora indigenous to the Paris region, including native grasses and beech trees, along with blooms like tulips, narcissus and white bougainvillea.

Le Bristol’s 190 distinct rooms and suites emphasize natural light, and are decorated with classic Louis XVI-style chairs and benches, tinkling crystal chandeliers and feature a delicate palette of pink and blue. Some rooms have garden views, while others have balconies overlooking the central garden, shaded by unmistakable candy cane-striped awnings.

Afternoon tea in Cafe Antonia is a finely orchestrated, not-to-miss affair, while the moody Le Bar du Bristol, with its dramatically lit, curio-stuffed space, is the perfect place to kick off the evening. Don’t miss out on a memorable dinner at chef Eric Frechon’s three-Michelin-starred Epicure. Menu highlights include wild-caught sand sole cooked meuniere-style with buckwheat butter and chanterelles.

You can work off those calories in the sixth-floor indoor rooftop pool, decorated to resemble a jolly yachting party. Then, enjoy a treatment at Spa Le Bristol by La Prairie (where all-natural Tata Harper products are used).

Rates at Le Bristol Paris start at $1,950 per night.

Following successful J.K. installations in Rome, Milan, Capri and Florence, Italy, this burgeoning boutique chain opened its first non-Italian property in Paris in 2020 — and in poured the rave reviews.

Housed in three connected buildings, the hotel has just 29 rooms and suites for a truly intimate ambience. Thanks to designer Michele Bönan’s eclectic selection of flea market finds, vintage prints, 20th-century paintings, sculptures from around the globe and sleek, midcentury furniture pieces, a stay at the J.K. Place Paris feels like visiting the Paris home of an eccentric relative. (Hopefully, that relative left you a room in the will.)

Speaking of rooms, sashay up the dramatic curved staircase to find yours, which will most likely be an oasis decked out all in white with spotless walls and linens, though you do have a chance to snag a room with silver-gray, purple or patterned carpets that’s been outfitted with a light-grain wood-patterned work desk or breakfast table with colorful chairs to match. Bathrooms featuring light and dark stone tiling and chrome fixtures are the final word.

Get a few reps in at the small but well-equipped gym, or do a few laps at the indoor pool. Then, book a facial at the on-site spa, which uses Noble Panacea products to help restore that je ne sais quoi to your skin after a long flight. No visit would be complete without inviting friends over for the hearty northern Italian fare served under the peaked glass ceiling at Casa Tua.

Rates at J.K. Place Paris start at $980 per night.

You might recognize the undulating stone facade and distinctive red awnings of Hotel Plaza Athenee from the 2006 blockbuster “The Devil Wears Prada.” Its prime location on Avenue Montaigne puts it in close proximity to the flagship stores of luxury labels like Louis Vuitton, Prada and Dior — no wonder fashionistas flock here.

So, what better place to refresh after a shopping spree than with a light lunch at the leafy La Cour Jardin, where many dishes are plant-based? Alternatively, you could enjoy a snack and a cocktail at La Terrasse Montaigne while you people-watch. A third option, Le Bar pulls drinking into the space age with a translucent resin bar counter and a spectacular ceiling installation of swirling fabric in Yves Klein blue (not to mention an unmatched collection of Dom Perignon releases). For dinner, consider treating yourself to a meal at the Michelin-starred Jean Imbert au Plaza Athenee and feast upon a menu that utilizes gourmet ingredients sourced from across France.

Like the public spaces, the rooms at Hotel Plaza Athenee come in a mix of styles ranging from classical French to modernized art deco (feel free to tell the hotel if you have a preference). But no matter which accommodation you book, there are similarities throughout the rooms, including high-end Beltrami linens and marble-lined bathrooms stocked with Guerlain toiletries.

If you didn’t get enough steps in while exploring the city, there’s also a fitness center to aid in maintaining your fitness regimen. Save time for a visit to the Dior Spa to get those sore muscles massaged.

Rates at Hotel Plaza Athenee start at $2,060 per night.

Le Meurice has been welcoming travelers since it opened in 1815 — albeit in a different location from its current one on the Rue de Rivoli across from the Tuileries Garden (the current hotel dates to 1835) — so it’s often considered one of the first luxury hotels in Paris. To this day, Le Meurice still sets the standard for French luxury, and it hits all the right notes.

Part of what sets Le Meurice apart from the pack is that during the 20th century, it counted some of the art world’s brightest luminaries among its regular patrons, including Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol. It’s a history that can be seen in the hotel’s excellent art collection (should you not get your fill of art browsing Paris’ museums, that is). Designer duo Philippe Starck and daughter Ara also played homage to the superstar artists during the hotel’s last major refurbishment in 2016 (they’d also worked on a previous renovation in 2007).

Even the smallest rooms at Le Meurice measure more than 320 square feet, which is more than generous by Paris standards. They feature Italian marble bathrooms that you might not want to leave, as they’re outfitted with powerful rainfall showers.

Of course, after you clean up, you can always trek down to Restaurant Le Dali for a refined repast of French classics (almost all of the ingredients are sourced locally), La Patisserie du Meurice par Cedric Grolet for a handmade pastry or two-Michelin-starred Restaurant le Meurice Alain Ducasse for a full-on feast at master chef Alain Ducasse’s rococo-styled eatery.

Renowned Swiss skincare brand Valmont also has a spa here. Treatments feature names like “Purity of the Alps” and “Reflection on a Frozen Lake” and are guaranteed to make your skin look like you’ve just had a refreshing vacation in the mountains.

Rates at Le Meurice start at $1,820 per night.

Part of luxury conglomerate LVMH’s nearly billion-dollar restoration of La Samaritaine — a massive art nouveau gem on the banks of the Seine that was once one of the world’s most famous department stores — this 72-key hotel took up residence in an adjacent art deco beauty and has been wowing well-heeled crowds ever since its 2021 opening.

Nearly all the rooms at Cheval Blanc Paris overlook the Seine, though some boast Louvre views. All guestrooms have a pared-down yet cozy aesthetic that pairs soft-touch fabrics with high-gloss stone and wood finishes. The bathrooms are tiled in striated marble and feature deep soaking tubs, walk-in hammam showers, and feature “Parisian Chic” toiletries created by Maison Dior’s parfumier, as well as 24-hour “Majordome” (aka “butler”) service.

Many of Paris’ most interesting places are underground, and the Dior Spa here (the first in the world) is no exception. It has just six treatment rooms and a panoply of salubrious experiences on offer. There is also a Rossano Ferretti Salon to help you look your best for any red-carpet commitments and a stunning 98-foot curved infinity pool with a digital wall that artistically depicts life passing by along the Seine outside.

The hotel’s four food and beverage outlets include the seafood-focused Italian fine-dining hot spot Langosteria and the art deco Le Tout-Paris Restaurant, where casual French bistro fare and phenomenal cocktails are served alongside sublime skyline views. For exceptional cuisine, secure a reservation at the hotel’s three-Michelin-starred restaurant Plenitude, where chef Arnaud Donckele serves several fancifully titled tasting menus like “Sail away together,” where dishes focus on the changing seasons … with multiple wine pairings available, of course.

Rates at Cheval Blanc Paris start at $2,070 per night.

Le Roch Hotel & Spa (pronounced “rock,” if you were wondering) is situated just off chichi Place Vendome and is a stone’s throw away from the Tuileries Garden, yet it couldn’t feel less stuck-up or touristy. Sure, high design elements can be found here, but its 37 rooms, tucked-away spaces and cozy library all have an ambience that says “Welcome home.”

The hotel is the brainchild of Parisian designer Sarah Lavoine and reflects her sensibilities of individually designed spaces with telltale signatures, such as the Moroccan-style zellige tiles (no two are glazed or fired the same) in the accommodations’ bathrooms, many of which feature hammam-style shower-bath suites. Rooms also come in five color schemes to suit your mood, so choose carefully, though you’ll find some similar elements of white and sailor blue throughout.

There is a fitness center and a spa, Maison Codage, the latter of which houses a relaxation pool and offers treatments by French beauty brand Codage. Guests can order bespoke products for their skincare needs to be delivered within a day or two.

In the bar at Maison 28, Chef Frédérick Lyard curates a menu of classic French dishes that are best paired with wines or cocktails.

Rates at Le Roch Hotel & Spa start at $530 or 61,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night.

The Place des Vosges is one of Paris’ most historic and picturesque squares. It features carefully manicured lawns and geometrically arranged paths bordered by imposing but warm red-brick buildings. One of those edifices — which can be found after traveling through a tunnel and past a heavy iron gate and private garden — houses the gorgeous Pavillon de la Reine & Spa, like a treasure hidden in plain sight.

Each of the 56 rooms and suites is individually decorated and features tasteful touches such as colorful Missoni-style throws, wallpaper reminiscent of tree bark and amber-colored velvet vignettes.

The convivial Michelin-starred restaurant Anne, with a librarylike interior and a sun-drenched patio, serves a small selection of upscale eats, such as langoustines with braised leeks and curry jus.

As for wellness, there’s a small gym, a hammam and a Jacuzzi area, plus the Spa de la Reine by Codage, which has just two treatment rooms. Guests can create their skincare regimen with the French brand Codage.

Rates at Le Pavillon de la Reine & Spa start at $435 per night.

IHG’s Kimpton brand is fast expanding its European footprint, as evidenced by the many properties it’s been opening on the continent in the past few years, such as the spectacular Kimpton St. Honore in Paris’ second arrondissement. Situated just around the corner from the ornate Palais Garnier opera house, this stunning hotel features a colorful belle epoque facade (it used to be a luxury department store) that offers a hint at the fanciful interiors and accommodations which were dreamed up by Paris-based interior designer Charles Zana that can be found inside.

Taking inspiration from the historic building’s bones and original design, the 123 rooms and 26 suites, walls and linens showcase simple but eye-catching palettes of white and taupe on the walls, which are complemented by pops of color from various furniture pieces and throw pillows as well as tasteful brushed-brass accents.

Like Kimptons found the world over, this one is pet-friendly. You’ll find the chain’s signature yoga mats in each guest room, and this property does have a decent fitness center as well as a small spa area.

During spring and summer, catch phenomenal sunset views at the rooftop Sequoia Rooftop Bar. Otherwise, grab a California-inspired meal at Montecito, where the menu includes dishes like langoustine tostadas and Oaxacan-style carne asada.

Rates at the Kimpton St Honore Paris start at $470 or 86,500 IHG One Rewards points per night.

Anchoring Paris’ “Golden Triangle” (the neighborhood was so named because of its upper-crust inhabitants and the luxury boutiques that line its streets), the George V is a beloved Paris landmark and is well known for its famous guests and many appearances on the silver screen.

The hotel’s three restaurants claim five Michelin stars among them, including the three-Michelin-starred Le Cinq, where over-the-top meals are served under a massive chandelier and delivered with a smile and a perfectly scripted recitation of the quality and provenance of every ingredient. At L’Orangerie, which holds two Michelin stars, patrons can enjoy a leisurely lunch over specialties like langoustine seared in its juices and adorned with citrus and olive oil foam.

The Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris has 185 rooms and 59 suites, styled by the notable designer, Pierre-Yves Rochon. Rochon drew inspiration from the extravagant style of Louis XVI’s court, so you can expect lavish details such as trompe l’oeil ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and silk and damask furnishings.

To find a quiet moment in the city, head to Le Spa du George V, which has an expanded fitness studio with a digital wall displaying nature scenes. Available treatments include massages, skincare rituals and facials using Dr. Burgener Switzerland products.

Rates at the Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris start at $1,880 per night.

Hotel Madame Reve’s self-styling as an “unedited experience” feels more than a little ironic on two counts.

First, it’s housed in a dramatic, landmark Haussmannian building that once served as Paris’ only 24-hour post office, where one can imagine anguished-over epistles making their way between doomed lovers. The second is that every space, amenity and artwork (of which there are more than 800) at the hotel seems to have been carefully thought out.

The meticulous, symphony-like atmosphere at Hôtel Madame Rêve feels like anything but a first draft. Its 82 rooms are decked out with a mix of tan leather furniture, black-onyx desks, postal-themed area rugs, burnished wooden floors and they feature panorama windows. And at the wellness center, guests can enjoy not-to-be-missed treatments like a Mauritian sugar body scrub scented with honey, vanilla and hazelnut accents.

Although Paris is home to some of the world’s best restaurants, you might still want to plan an evening to sample the contemporary Japanese-inspired fare at the garden-like La Plume Rive Droite, located on the hotel’s top floor. There’s no wrong time to dine at Kitchen by Madame Reve, where chef Stephanie Le Quelle (whose other restaurant, La Scene, has two Michelin stars) serves a mix of French classics and healthy fare in a bustling, high-ceilinged space on the building’s ground floor. The kitchen closes at the ripe hour of 1 a.m., so it’s an ideal place to grab a bite after a night out on the town.

Rates at Hotel Madame Reve start at $860 per night.

Despite the fact that the Seine is the beating heart of Paris, very few hotels are located along the river — but that’s exactly what makes the SO/ Paris so alluring.

Situated at the edge of the trendy fourth arrondissement, the hotel was redeveloped from a striking 1950s office building by Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning British architect David Chipperfield. Chipperfield drew inspiration from the city itself (the front door’s series of concentric metal rings are meant to evoke the Seine’s rippling water and is also a nod to ornate belle epoque metalwork) as well as the world of fashion — the staff here wears uniforms designed by Guillaume Henry.

The lobby is dramatically lit and feels like a forest of curviform pillars, many of which frame avant-garde pieces of art by Neil Beloufa.

The 140 rooms and 22 suites, meanwhile, feature minimalist mod-chic design by RDAI, and are outfitted with simple, colorful Scandic furniture pieces. The bathrooms, tiled in glossy pink marble, are stocked with Codage bath products — there’s also a Codage spa downstairs for interested parties.

There’s a cozy lobby cafe for espressos and snacks during the day and aperitifs in the evening, but the real action is up on the top floor at Bonnie, which is an all-in-one restaurant, terrace and bar. Here, guests can enjoy a whorling mirrored ceiling installation by Olafur Eliasson and a menu of French classics, such as steak frites, that pair perfectly with SO/ Paris’ postcard-worthy views.

Rates at SO/ Paris start at $560 per night.

“Chouchou” is a French term of endearment, and this little boutique hideaway in the shadow of the Palais Garnier opera house is certainly endearing.

It has just 63 rooms, which are divided into seven categories. They range from space-conscious, 140-square-foot singles to the opulent L’arrache suite, which has opera house views, a small library of books and a turntable with records in case you want to pretend you’re throwing a party back in the city’s 1960s countercultural heyday. All the rooms have distinctly French touches like parquet floors, Biostase Paris beauty products and bathrooms clad in glazed tiles reminiscent of a Metro station.

Bar and restaurant Guinguette is a lively spot for congenial cocktails, live performances by local artists (Thursdays through Sundays) as well as affordable prix fixe lunch and dinner menus.

The hotel’s standout feature, however, has to be its three lavish, private baths, which are kitted out in various takes on ’70s resort chic, with wicker peacock chairs and luminaria-style lanterns, as well as drinks service. After all, why should you get dressed to get a drink?

Rates at Chouchou Hotel start at $260 per night.

Those in the know will be able to easily spot designer Jacques Garcia’s signature style at Maison Souquet, thanks to the sumptuous textiles, jewel tones and busy but not overwrought patterns that can be found at this respectably risque Montmartre bolthole, which once served as a belle epoque brothel.

Today, the ambience in its 20 rooms and suites is decidedly more refined, though no less hedonistic. Each is named after a famous courtesan and decorated in unique styles ranging from rooms decorated with Japanese and Chinese influences to callbacks to the rarefied salons of Napoleon III’s era. Cheeky touches include heart-framed, fringed bedside lamps, sculptural Baroque headboards, lavish back-tiled baths and silk wallpapering depicting various sylvan scenes.

Make time for small bites and cocktails at the Salon de Petits Bonheurs, with its neoclassical wood-paneled walls and garnet-hued velvet chairs and poufs. Then, wind down with steam in the spa’s hammam or take a dip in its swimming pool, which glistens beneath a ceiling painted in cobalt blue and speckled with golden stars.

Rates at Maison Souquet start at $545 per night.

Latin Quarter luxury hotels are few and far between, and unique upstart Hotel Dames des Arts manages to walk the line between the area’s artsy heritage and upscale present, all while staying relatively tucked away from the tourists thronging nearby streets.

Designer Raphael Navot transformed a once-drab 1950s building (its somewhat brutalist facade is now dramatically lit in a way that feels both imposing and welcoming) into an effortlessly chic accommodation. The 109 rooms and suites lean into neutral colors like cream and taupe. The bathroom is well stocked with Diptyque products and features unique tiling that feels reminiscent of film canisters.

Guests can stay fit at the small wellness center or borrow electric bikes to explore the city. At Restaurant de l’Hotel Dame des Arts, chef Othoniel Alvarez Castaneda blends Mexican flavors with high-end, seasonal French ingredients to create innovative dishes like pork chops that are seasoned with chimichurri and black garlic.

The showstopper, however, is The Rooftop, where it seems all of Paris comes to play (weather permitting), downing cocktails like the Garden Party, with quinoa-based vodka, chartreuse, absinthe, lemon, dill syrup and ginger beer.

Rates at Hotel Dame des Arts start at $305 per night.

Another great option found in the 16th arrondissement’s Trocadero neighborhood, this offering from Hilton is close to key tourist spots without being completely lost in the thick of things.

The Trocadero Metro station is just a five-minute walk away, and both the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe are easy to reach by car (around a 10-12-minute drive) or a slightly more scenic 20-minute walk.

In terms of dining, the hotel also houses L’Esprit Nouveau with its modern takes on classic French dining, but for something extra special, check out the hotel’s rooftop terrace and bar, Mont Trocadero. Here, you can sip cocktails and feast on reinvented Alpine classics like croziflette and foie gras courtesy of chef Joffrey Servant while looking out toward the Eiffel Tower.

The lobby and rooms are modern and chic, and contemporary artwork dots the property. Suites are roomy and carry a tinge of art deco in terms of design.
