Paris hotels

A stylish addition off haute shopping street Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, this former 18th-century mansion-turned-boutique hotel sports 56 rooms and suites in the courtyard building. The first in Paris for the Miami-born brand, Delano brought in three Michelin-starred chef Dani Garcia to craft the menu at its signature restaurant, La Chambre Bleu, an homage to Pablo Picasso’s painting. While the stylish hotel is on the more modern side, you’ll still feel like you’ve been transported to another era in Paris, especially in the Grand Historic Suite or Presidential Suite, with its herringbone parquet flooring, high, gold-lined ceilings, and opulent frescoes lining the walls.

One of the crowning features of the Place Vendôme, in the First Arrondissement, this 19th-century building has such a storied history, that everyone from Marcel Proust to F. Scott Fitzgerald and Coco Chanel has said it’s “like a second home”—and made it one. This hotel was recently refreshed and received a few new additions, like the zodiac-themed Ritz Bar with cocktails inspired by the 12 astrological signs; Le Comptoir, an haute patisserie and chocolaterie; and new themed suites named after other infamous guests like Mozart. A true resort experience, the Ritz offers everything from a spa and celeb stylist-helmed hair salon by David Mallett to experiences for kids, like swimming lessons (plus connecting rooms for families). A stay in Paris isn’t complete without a trip to Bar Hemingway, with its cigar lounge-like vibes and rose-adorned cocktails crafted by one of the city’s most legendary bartenders, Colin Field.

Centrally located near the Louvre and Samaritaine department store, the five-star hotel sits in the landmark Louvre Post Office with 82 rooms and suites showing off panoramic views over Paris. Watch the city unfold from sunrise to sunset in one of the rooms under the hotel’s vaulted glass roof or from one of the aptly named Eiffel Tower view rooms, which guarantee a prime perch to admire the legendary landmark. The grand, ground floor café, with its sky-high ceilings and Art Deco-style design, serves a lavish Sunday brunch (€75, or $82) with pastries by Benoît Castel, while chef Benjamin Six’s La Plume Rive Droite offers Japanese French fusion in the sultry space on the hotel’s top floor. While more suited to couples, friends, and solo travelers, the hotel does have a family junior suite with a private terrace overlooking the hanging garden.

The iconic Art Deco façade has been a fixture in Pigalle since the late-1920s. Once popular with artists, Hôtel Rochechouart received a modern makeover by the duo behind Orso Hotels in 2020. The former townhouse facing the Sacré-Cœur has been returned to its turn-of-the-century glory with a mosaic restaurant floor, period glass elevator, and brass accents—all with a contemporary touch. The highlight of the Belle Époque boutique hotel – which sits at the foot of Montmartre hill – is the scenic views, best admired from the buzzy, ninth-floor rooftop bar that shows off sweeping views of Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower.

Located in Place de la Concorde, this Palace Hotel is one of the most iconic in Paris. The Bar Les Ambassadeurs is one of the best hotel bars in Paris and often has live music. The Sense Spa is also not to be missed.

One of the newer hotels to enter Paris’ scene, SO/ Paris is housed in a 1966 former office building that has received a fashionable revamp thanks to architectural firm RDAI (the same team behind the Hermès stores). Everything from the décor to the art and uniforms (designed by couture’s rising star, Guillaume Henry) nods to the city’s role as a fashion capital and also plays on the ripples of the neighboring Seine River. The playful design extends to the 15th-floor restaurant, club, and bar, Bonnie, which shows off 360-degree panoramic views of Paris. Don’t worry—you can also soak up the view from bed in one of the 162 rooms and suites, which line floors 7-14, and look out at the river and city’s rooftops.

Located near the Marais and Bastille, the central spot puts you within walking distance of the city’s shops, restaurants, and nightlife. But when you’re ready to rest your tired legs after a long day of strolling, you can unwind with a massage in the CODAGE spa or the Turkish steam bath.

If you want to stay in one of Paris’ more fashionable neighborhoods, Hôtel Fauchon in the eighth is the place. Designed as a “sensory” hotel, you’ll find everything from food to the hotel’s scent to be part of the experience. This spot is particularly great for couples who are foodies and want to see the best Paris has to offer in terms of food, wine, and pastries.

In the well-heeled neighborhood of Saint Germain-des-Prés, between the Seine and fashion hotspot Café de Flore, Le Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain & Spa brings new life to a former noble home dating back to 1642 that, in the 20th century, drew the likes of and T.S. Eliot and James Joyce, who finished his infamous novel Ulysses here. On the boutique side, the hotel feels hidden in the neighborhood, with just 47 rooms and suites; a stylish, seasonally driven restaurant, Les Parisiens; and the James Joyce Bar, a Parisian take on an English club. Families of up to five will also sleep comfortably in connecting rooms that feature double and two twin beds and two bathrooms.

For an iconic stay along the Champs-Élysées, you can’t get much better than this. Located in the eighth arrondissement, you’ll be within prime view—and walking distance—of the Arc de Triomphe and flagship boutiques like Louis Vuitton.

Popular for its rooftop bar and restaurant, this design-forward hotel located between the Marais and Montorgueil is housed in a Haussmanian façade and features 64 industrial-chic rooms.

The first true boutique hotel in Belleville, the artist-centric neighborhood in the 20th, BABEL offers 31 rooms that feel plucked from a medina in Marrakesh—with a laid-back restaurant and café to match.
