Where to Stay in Paris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The question I keep getting from friends and readers is: where should I stay in Paris? I have written posts on this topic over the years, but I have never compiled a master list of the different types of hotels for different budgets and trip types. This blog post covers the best neighborhoods in Paris, where to stay as a solo traveler, budget-friendly options, off-the-beaten-path spots, and recommendations for first-time visitors. Once you have booked your plane or train reservation, the next question should be where to stay in Paris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How Paris is Arranged <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Paris is divided into 20 neighborhoods, called arrondissements, arranged on the map like a snail. The arrondissements with the lowest numbers are closer to the center, and the higher numbers are farther from the Seine. Each neighborhood has a unique vibe, making the arrondissement distinctive. The Seine River divides the city into the Right and Left Banks. Parisians and visitors usually have very strong opinions about which bank they prefer. If it is your first time in Paris, form your opinion on which bank you like best. There is no wrong answer.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It is common for Parisians to stay in their neighborhood to meet friends, grocery shop, have coffee, and dine out. Each arrondissement has caf\u00e9s, restaurants, butchers, bakeries, and everything you need within a short walk.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      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.

I have also broken down the best bus lines to take in The Paris Guide<\/a><\/strong> for more in-depth information on navigating the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      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, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es, and the Eiffel Tower. The best neighborhoods for a first-time visitor are on both the Left Bank and the Right Bank.\u00a0It all depends on what you want to be closest to and your priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Paris Hotels in the 1st Arrondissement <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \"grand<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The heart of Paris beats in 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 and the Jardin des Tuileries are here. Expect higher prices because the hotel location is prime in the 1st arrondissement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Paris<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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

      \"grand<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \"grand<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      The location is just a few minutes’ walk to Palais Royal, one of my favorite places in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Chateau Voltaire <\/a>Hotel in the 1st Arrondissement in Paris<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      One of my new favorite hotels is Hotel Ch\u00e2teau Voltaire<\/a><\/strong>. I stayed here in January 2024 and want to share my experience with everyone. The attention to detail and service were at the next level. Located on Avenue de l’Op\u00e9ra, 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Budget-Friendly Hotels: Hotel Therese in the 1st Arrondissement of Paris<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Budget-Friendly Options: Hotel Therese<\/strong><\/a> is the sister hotel of Adele and Jules<\/a><\/strong> ( a reader favorite). The hotels are within walking distance of the Louvre and offer reasonable rates in the first arrondissement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      There are multiple metro lines from here to other parts of the city, including the Trocadero, where you can see the Eiffel Tower and the Mus\u00e9e D’Orsay. I love to walk around the city as much as possible, and it is the best way to see Paris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Paris Hotels in the 2nd Arrondissement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      The best hotels in this area are still within walking distance of the Louvre Hotel and Place Vendome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Place<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Splurge:\u00a0Park Hyatt Paris<\/strong><\/a>. This hotel, with views of the Tuileries and Place Vend\u00f4me, is perfectly located for a first-time visit to Paris. Hyatt members, you will want to upgrade here to a Paris balcony.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Maison Barri\u00e8re Vend\u00f4me<\/a><\/strong> is located in the 1st arrondissement and is centrally located for the Tuileries, shopping on Rue St. Honor\u00e9, and museums such as Jeu de Paume<\/a><\/strong> and H\u00f4tel de la Marine. I have a stay booked here soon and will be back with my full recap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Kimpton St Honore<\/strong><\/a>, 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. They also have a dog brunch on the first Sunday of every month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u200bHoxton Paris\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>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 a mix of restaurants and shops, feeling like a local. Don’t miss the S\u00e9zane apartment around the corner to do some shopping. You can enjoy a cocktail at the bar even if you don’t stay here.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Hotel Hana Paris 2nd Arrondissement Boutique Hotel <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \"hotel<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Hotel Hana<\/a><\/strong> is fairly new and a great option for a centrally located Paris hotel. The hotel is a five-star hotel with a Japanese-French mix. Don’t miss the hotel restaurant Hanabi for a delicious lunch or dinner. I enjoyed two nights here last year and splurged for the balcony, which was totally worth it. The detox massage in their beautiful spa was memorable, but their staff and hospitality were not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Paris Hotels in the 3rd Arrondissement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Explore Square du Temple and book an afternoon at the Picasso Museum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"picasso<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Grand Mazarin<\/a><\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"Pavillon<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Pavillon de la Reine<\/a><\/strong> 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 spring, jasmine-filled balconies in summer, and red ivy in fall. Pavillon de la Reine will make your stay memorable with personalized service. Don’t miss a visit to their one star Michelin re<\/a>s<\/a>taurant, Anne. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
