There are well over a thousand hotels in Paris and if you’re searching for the perfect one, prepare to be overwhelmed by page after page of similar descriptions and amenity lists. If you’re looking to simplify things a little, we’re here to help. We’re not giving you to the top 50 or the top 10, we’re giving Our 4. Why? Because it’s manageable, you won’t get caught going around in circles. We know these 4 hotels very well and would book a room in any of them in heartbeat. They’re ideally located, moderately priced, and have comfortable accommodations. So check them out, compare and contrast. And if you still can’t decide, stay a night in each!


Citadines Apart’Hotel St. Germain

If you like to be at the center of the action, this is the place for you. It’s located on the left bank of the Seine, in the Latin Quarter. You’ll love wandering through the tight alleys and popping into the innumerable cafe’s and restaurants that line the streets. Technically, their rooms are ”Serviced Residences,” so you won’t have a maid cleaning up after you, but you’ll have access to normal hotel amenities.

10 Minute Walk: Notre Dame Cathedral, Les Deux Magots Cafe, Louvre

15 Minute Walk: Luxembourg Gardens, Pantheon, Musée d’Orsay

30 Minute Walk: Pont Alexandre III, Place de la Bastille

Metro Stop: St. Michal
