WHERE TO STAY IN PARIS: THE BEST NEIGHBORHOODS FOR EVERY TRAVELER


WHERE TO STAY IN PARIS: THE BEST NEIGHBORHOODS FOR EVERY TRAVELER

The question I have been getting repeatedly from friends and readers is, where
should I stay in Paris? I have written posts covering this topic over the years
but I have never put together a master list with all different types of hotels
for different budgets and types of trips. This blog post covers the best
neighborhoods in Paris, where to stay as a solo traveler, budget-friendly
options, off-the-beaten-path, and first-time visitors. Once you have booked your
plane or train reservation, the next question should be where to stay in Paris.









HOW PARIS IS ARRANGED

Paris is broken down into twenty neighborhoods called arrondissements, arranged
on the map as a snail. The arrondissements with the lowest number are more
toward the center, and the higher numbers are further out from the Seine. Each
neighborhood has a unique vibe and makes the arrondissement unique. The Seine
River divides the city, making the Right and Left Bank. Parisians and visitors
usually have a very strong opinion on which bank they prefer. If it is your
first time in Paris, form your opinion on the bank you love the most. There is
no wrong answer.





It is common for Parisians to stay in their neighborhood when it comes to
meeting friends, grocery shopping, going for coffee, and dining out. Each
arrondissement has cafés, restaurants, butchers, bakeries, and everything you
need within a short walk.





Metro stations throughout the city give visitors and locals easy access to
Paris’ monuments, main attractions, and parks. The metro and bus systems are
easy to navigate. This post breaks down more of how to get around Paris . I have
also broken down the best bus lines to take in The Paris Guide for more in-depth
information on navigating the city.






THE BEST PARIS NEIGHBORHOODS FOR FIRST-TIME VISITORS



When visiting Paris for the first time, you will most likely want to be in the
city’s center. Take this opportunity to be close to the museums, Arc de
Triomphe, and Eiffel Tower. The best neighborhoods for a first-time visitor can
be found on both the Left Bank and Right Bank.


PARIS HOTELS IN THE 1ST ARRONDISSEMENT



The heart of Paris beats from the 1st Arrondissement. If you can stay in this
area on your first visit, you will be well situated in the city center and a
quick walk away from the most popular tourist attractions. The Louvre Museum can
be found here, along with the Jardin des Tuileries. Expect higher prices because
the hotel location is prime in the 1st arrondissement.

Splurge Options: I personally love the Grand Hotel du Palais Royal . It is one
of my favorite hotels in Paris and offers incredible views from the suites,
including the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.

You are just a few minutes walking to Palais Royal, one of my favorite places in
Paris.






CHATEAU VOLTAIRE HOTEL IN THE 1ST ARRONDISSEMENT IN PARIS

One of my new favorite hotels is Hotel Château Voltaire . I stayed here in
January and want to tell everyone about it. The attention to detail and service
were at the next level. Located on Avenue de L’Opera, you are well situated
within walking distance to Palais Royal, The Louvre, and Tuileries. Don’t miss
out on lunch at Brasserie L’Emil or a cocktail at the bar.






BUDGET-FRIENDLY HOTELS HOTEL THERESE IN THE 1ST ARRONDISSEMENT OF PARIS

Budget-Friendly Options: Hotel Therese is the sister hotel of Adele and Jules (
a reader favorite). It is within walking distance of the Louvre and offers
reasonable rates for the first arrondissement.





You can take multiple metro lines from here to other parts of the city,
including the Trocadero, where you can see the Eiffel Tower and the Musée
D’Orsay. I love to walk around the city as much as possible and find it the best
way to see Paris.


PARIS HOTELS IN THE 2ND ARRONDISSEMENT

The 2nd arrondissement is a central location to stay in Paris. One of my
favorite streets, Rue Montorgueil, is perfect for a cocktail, glass of wine, or
afternoon stroll. The pedestrian street filled with food shops has evolved since
I first fell in love with it over ten years ago, and it now houses more
commercial chain shops. You can identify the street by the mosaic white tiles
that glisten in the rain.



The best hotels in this area are still within walking distance of the Louvre
Hotel and Place Vendome.

Splurge: Park Hyatt Paris . This hotel, with views of the Tuileries and Vendome,
is perfectly located for a first-time visit to Paris. Hyatt members, you will
want to upgrade here to a Paris balcony.



Kimpton St Honore , I had the pleasure of staying here for a few nights when it
first opened. The rooms are high-tech, with window shades that open with a
button. Inside rooms have quiet balcony views of the courtyard, and the exterior
rooms face onto the Boulevards des Capucines. Don’t miss the rooftop bar with
panoramic views of the city and the Eiffel Tower. You are also within a quick
walk of the Opera.



Hoxton Paris The Hoxton Paris is a great place to stay in the 2nd
arrondissement. It is a bit tucked away from the main attractions, but it is
still walkable. You will be mixed between restaurants and shops, feeling more
like a local. Don’t miss the Sézane apartment around the corner to do some
shopping. You can enjoy a cocktail at the bar even if you don’t stay here.




PARIS HOTELS IN THE 3RD ARRONDISSEMENT

The 3rd Arrondissement is home to the Marais, one of my favorite parts of Paris.
It is centrally located and contains some of the oldest buildings in Paris. The
Marais is also known for incredible restaurants, coffee shops, and shops. You
can easily spend a good amount of time exploring this area without leaving the
arrondissement.

Explore Square du Temple and book an afternoon at the Picasso Museum.



Grand Mazarin is a newly opened hotel in the Marais. It was under construction
and delayed, but the wait was well worth it. The decor is bright and wild, but
somehow, they make it work well. Some of the hotel rooms have balconies, and I
highly recommend upgrading.





Pavillon de la Reine is a boutique hotel gem located inside Place des Vosges. It
is easy to walk by the hotel if you don’t know it is there. The hotel courtyard
is stunning in different seasons, with green vines in the spring, jasmine-filled
balconies in the summer, and red ivy in the fall. Pavillon de la Reine will make
your stay memorable with personalized service.


BOUTIQUE HOTELS IN PARIS




WHERE TO STAY IN PARIS FOR THE FIRST TIME: THE 4TH ARRONDISSEMENT IN PARIS

The Marais is split between the 3rd and 4th arrondissements. They have similar
vibes, and the area is especially buzzing on Sundays. In the past, Paris closed
most of its shops on Sundays. The Marais is also the Jewish quarter, with
restaurants and shops closed on Saturdays for Shabbat. Sundays are full of
music, overflowing cafés, and so much energy from locals and tourists.



For a 3-star budget-friendly hotel in the heart of the 4th arrondissement in
Paris, check out Caron de Beaumarchais . It has unique decor, but what makes
this property special is the location and balcony views on the front side. There
aren’t a lot of front room balconies, so book early and be flexible with dates
if you want this hotel. The secret is out on this one. I have heard positive
reviews from readers, and breakfast is one of my favorites. Have it delivered to
your room for a balcony breakfast you will remember for years.








HOTELS IN PARIS: THE 5TH ARRONDISSEMENT

Located on the Left Bank of Paris, the 5th arrondissement provides a different
experience. The Latin Quarter, which includes the Pantheon, Jardin des Plantes,
and Shakespeare and Co., is a popular destination for visitors because of its
location.



Hotel Monge is a lovely hotel located just steps from Jardin des Plantes. I
stayed in this hotel a few years ago when it first opened and loved the decor
and the nod to the gardens. You will find markets, coffee shops, and
boulangeries surrounding the hotel to make you feel like a local. It is
centrally located but tucked away just enough.





Hôtel Dame des Arts is a newly opened hotel in the 5th arrondissement. The rooms
are small, but the views make up for it. You can’t beat the rooftop view and the
Eiffel Tower from your balcony. If you are staying in the area, book a cocktail
at the rooftop for sunset.




PARIS HOTELS IN THE 6TH ARRONDISSEMENT

Villa des Prés is a newly opened hotel in the 6th arrondissement in Paris just
off Rue de Bucci. For Left Bank lovers, the location couldn’t be beat. You are
perfectly tucked away with a discrete entrance. It is easy to pass by the hotel
if you don’t know it is there. The lobby is small and welcoming for guests, with
a breakfast area and bar for coffee and cocktails. Villa des Prés decor is more
masculine, with browns and leathers mixed in with art in every room.
Restaurants, bars, and art galleries surround the hotel, making so much of what
Paris offers within walking distance.



Don’t miss Luxembourg Gardens, situated between the sixth and seventh
arrondissements.



Hotel des Grands Voyageurs is tucked away in the 6th arrondissement. The hotel
pays attention to the details of the traveler. I enjoyed my stay here and
upgraded to a Junior Suite, the highest room category. Hotel des Grands
Voyageurs is great value. I loved my room’s record players and jazz offerings,
which was an added feature. The hotel offers connecting family rooms with
privacy doors. If you need two rooms, this is an excellent option for the price,
location, and updated amenities.




WHERE TO STAY IN PARIS: THE 7TH ARRONDISSEMENT

P avillon Faubourg Saint Germain is located in the 7th Arrondissement. The hotel
is a combination of three buildings put together. One has been under renovation,
while the other two are modern but don’t look exactly like the photo below. You
can request your room type when booking. I highly recommend a balcony view. If
you mention EDP when booking, you will have a special amenity.

From this Left Bank location, you can walk to the Louvre in 10 minutes or
explore everything the area has to offer. Boulevard St Germain des Près, coffee
shops, and boutiques are also just a quick walk away.



Le Narcisse Blanc is a five-star hotel on the Left Bank between Pont Alexandre
III and the Eiffel Tower. It is a quiet boutique hotel perfect for couples or
solo travelers. Enjoy a coffee or breakfast in the stunning glass-filled atrium
just off the lobby. Cleo, the hotel restaurant, is perfect for lunch or dinner.








PARIS HOTELS WITH EIFFEL TOWER VIEWS

If this is your first time in Paris or you are celebrating a special occasion
such as an anniversary, birthday, or girl’s trip, you might want an Eiffel Tower
view. This is a popular request, and I hope more hotels make booking easier as
it doesn’t always show the view or identify an Eiffel Tower view is guaranteed .

LA COMTESSE PARIS.

Hotel Comtesse is a boutique hotel just around the corner from the Eiffel Tower.
The location can’t be beaten if you are looking for an Eiffel Tower view and to
be situated in this part of Paris. I stayed here one night a few summers ago to
check out the hotel and the view. I loved that you could book an Eiffel Tower
view exclusively with the hotel. There was an upcharge, and I stayed in a
Prestige Room, but it was worth it. You can have a side view or a head-on view.
On my first trip to Paris, I was convinced I would have a view of the Eiffel
Tower, but it wasn’t within my budget. Now, I am on the hunt for budget-friendly
options for other travelers.






HOTEL GRAND POWERS PARIS LUXURY HOTEL



Hotel Grand Powers is the sister hotel of Grand Hotel du Palais Royal in the 8th
arrondissement. They remodeled in 2019 to move from a 4 to a 5-star hotel. The
remodel is stunning and takes the historical Parisian details to a different
level. Every room is stunning, and the views of the Eiffel Tower and Paris
rooftops are magical. The hotel is located close to the Champs Éysées for those
travelers looking for that specific location.
















BUDGET HOTELS TO STAY IN PARIS





MAISON MÈRE PARIS BOUTIQUE HOTEL 9THE ARRONDISSEMENT

Maison Mère is located in the 9th arrondissement. I have stayed here multiple
times. The staff is extremely friendly, warm, and welcoming. The rooms are clean
and well-equipped with everything you need for a modern stay in Paris, including
charging outlets and a tech-focused room. Some of the rooms even have balconies
and an Eiffel Tower view.


ADÈLE AND JULES . PARIS HOTEL IN THE 9TH ARRONDISSEMENT

I had the opportunity to stay at Adèle a nd Jules twice and loved the
experience. It is made up of two buildings: one is Adèle, and one is Jules. The
staff is helpful with restaurant recommendations and activities in the
neighborhood. There is breakfast in the lobby, tea time, and an honesty bar. The
street the hotel is situated on is a quiet family street. You will sleep soundly
and comfortably. Room 44 is the room I stayed in, and there was plenty of room
for two people. Great for couples or friends. They could accommodate a large
block of people in individual rooms.



The 9th Arrondissement isn’t for everyone; I love it because there are so many
great restaurants, and it feels more like a local experience. The location is
just enough away from the Paris monuments and the city center filled with
tourists. You can check out this guide to the 9th arrondissement for more places
to explore.








PARIS PERFECT RENTALS

Offers apartments with multiple bedrooms, which may be better suited for
families traveling with small children.

Paris Perfect Rentals is an apartment rental company in Paris. They have
incredible views and are primarily located in the Rue Cler area. They tend to be
on the pricier side, but if you are splitting the accommodations with a group or
have a family, this might be a better option.

    Thanks for the list of places to stay in Paris. I will have to check some of
    them out next time I visit.
    My first visit in 2019 I stayed at Caron de Beaumarchais and truthfully I
    did not like it at all. I found the place to be not very clean and no matter
    how many time I asked that nobody enter my room the staff still entered my
    room while I was away. Also if you stay on the street side it can be quite
    noisy. I did love the area of the Marias but I would not stay there again.
    
    I left that hotel early and went to stay at a lovely boutique hotel in the
    7th right across from the Pantheon called Hotel des Grands Hommes. It was
    even more reasonably priced than the Caron if you book with no refund. But
    the rooms were beautiful and very clean, hotel staff was nice too. The only
    down side was it was a bit of a walk to the metro and a 2 block walk to the
    busier shopping/ restaurant areas.

    I recently had a wonderful stay at Hotel Villa d’Estree, a 4-star boutique
    hotel in the 4th. My sister, daughter and I shared adjoining rooms which
    were beautiful, roomy (especially for Paris!) and each had a sofa/daybed and
    comfy armchair along with king size beds. The public areas are lovely and
    the location perfect. Reasonably priced!!

    Hello, I should really like more of the budget priced hotels please. We
    stayed at Caron de Beaumarchais .. marvellous.. and will always choose a
    well priced hotel in a good location rather than an expensive hotel
    anywhere.. because we spend most of our time outside the hotel in the
    streets gardens and cafes!!
    To us the hotel offers a respite to sleep and bathe., thats it!

    My family (2 adults, 2 18-yr-old boys) just returned from Paris last week.
    While I do NOT recommend European travel right now to Americans (negotiating
    Covid protocol/airline delays and cancellations/airport understaffing is
    really bad. Like, REALLY bad.) we loved our stay at Hotel 123 Elysees, just
    a couple blocks off the Champs Elysees and right next to Metro line 9. Great
    breakfast, rooms are classic Hausmann with high ceilings and classic,
    wrought-iron at the windows and are much bigger than most Paris hotel rooms.
    Gorgeous central stairway, too. Staff is lovely and adjoining family suites
    are available.

      Hi Alysa,
      I am so sorry to hear about your frustrations with traveling this past
      week. Despite your travel issues with COVID, I am happy to hear that you
      were able to find good accommodations for your family. I appreciate you
      sharing your feedback with me and other readers.
