Paris · France
Where you stay in Paris is part of the experience, not just a base. We match you with a hotel that fits how you like to travel — a house on the Seine by the Louvre, a grand hotel on Place Vendôme or the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, or an address among the couture houses of Avenue Montaigne.
01Where to stay
Distances are in a straight line to the Louvre.
The quarter of the 1st arrondissement that holds the Louvre and the Tuileries, along the Right Bank to the Pont Neuf, and the Sainte-Chapelle across the water on the Île de la Cité. For the museums and the river on foot, with the Left Bank a bridge away.
A Palace of 72 rooms in La Samaritaine on the Seine, with four restaurants, among them Plénitude, and a 30-metre pool.
Suits Couples and families who want a contemporary hotel rather than a period one, with the old city on foot; there is a club for children, Le Carrousel.
The quarter of the 1st arrondissement around Place Vendôme, its column at the centre of the square. For a central stay between the Louvre and the Palais Garnier, with the Tuileries at the end of the Rue de Castiglione.
César Ritz's hotel on Place Vendôme, with Espadon, the Bar Hemingway, the Ritz Club's pool and a French garden.
Suits Travellers who want the classic Paris grand hotel — tea in a panelled salon, a drink at the Bar Hemingway — and families, with cooking and pastry classes for children at the hotel's own school.
The quarter of the 8th around the Madeleine church, crossed by the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, with the Élysée Palace within it. For a stay on the Faubourg, with the Place de la Concorde a walk to the south.
A Palace of 189 rooms on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, with an inner garden, Épicure and a sixth-floor pool.
Suits Couples who want a classic French house with a garden, and families: there is a children's play area on the sixth floor, and the hotel arranges babysitting.
The quarter between the Champs-Élysées and the Seine: Avenue Montaigne and Avenue George V, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, and the Place de la Concorde at its eastern end. For the couture houses of Avenue Montaigne and the river at the Alma; the Louvre and the Left Bank are a drive away.
A Palace on Avenue Montaigne, with the Dior Spa, La Grande Table's classic French cooking and the Art Deco Relais Plaza.
Suits Couples and shoppers, and families: there are connecting rooms, many rooms and suites take an extra bed, subject to availability, and La Galerie serves a children's afternoon tea.
A Palace just off the Champs-Élysées, with three restaurants — Le Cinq, L'Orangerie and Le George — and an indoor pool in the spa.
Suits Food lovers and couples, and families: the Premier rooms take two adults and a child, and several signature suites open into two bedrooms for two adults and two children.
