An elegant boutique hotel with eclectic design features and oodles of charm. Most rooms have the bonus of breathtaking balcony views over the spectacular Opéra National de Paris Garnier.

Enjoy the rue de Rivoli location without paying the usual prices. This old hotel is slowly being renovated, so try to get one of the newer rooms with a view over the Tuileries opposite (see Jardin des Tuileries).

Prices reflect the luxury standards and location, close to the fashionable shops of St-Honoré, and near the Elysée palaces (see Champs-Elysées Quarter). Rooms are large and fitted out with antique furniture and marble bathrooms.

Tucked away on the Ile St-Louis is this beautiful old building with beams. Rooms are small but the friendly atmosphere makes up for everything.

To stay on one of the Seine islands is a treat, and to do it in this hotel is a double treat. The bedrooms may be small, due to the building’s 17th-century origins, but the cheerful decor, the intimacy (only 17 rooms) and the hidden patio with its flowers and fountain more than compensate.

Art-lovers will enjoy this hotel, right by the Musée d’Orsay. The hotel’s modern bright colours are strikingly offset with antique furniture here and there. Several more expensive suites are also available.

A small, family-run hotel set in an 18th-century building right by the Panthéon.

The best hotel in the Marais, convenient for all the attractions of the area (see Marais and the Bastille). Lovely rooms and a quiet courtyard.

A hotel with a great view of the Louvre (see Louvre Collections). Rooms cleverly mix the historical with the modern.

This sumptuous hotel is located close to many main attractions. It also boasts a renowned restaurant.
