Paris offers accommodation for every budget, from palace hotels to charming boutique stays. Where you stay determines which Paris you wake up to each morning. This guide breaks down the best places to stay in Paris.
Luxury: 1st, 8th, and 16th
Paris’s palace hotels are concentrated around the Place Vendome and the Champs-Elysees. The Ritz (1,000 to 2,500 euros), Le Meurice (800 to 2,000 euros), and the Four Seasons George V (1,200 to 3,000 euros) define Parisian luxury. The 16th arrondissement near the Trocadero offers quieter luxury with Eiffel Tower views. Suits luxury travellers and special occasions.
Mid-Range: Le Marais, Saint-Germain, Latin Quarter
Le Marais and Saint-Germain offer charming boutique hotels (200 to 400 euros) in historic buildings. The Latin Quarter provides slightly better value (150 to 300 euros) with a lively student atmosphere. These areas are central, walkable, and surrounded by excellent dining. Suits most travellers.
Budget: 10th, 11th, and Canal Saint-Martin
The 10th and 11th arrondissements and the Canal Saint-Martin area offer the best value: boutique hotels and apartments (100 to 200 euros) and budget hotels (80 to 150 euros). These areas are well-connected by metro and offer a more local, less touristy Paris experience. Suits budget travellers and return visitors.
