Palais-Royal, Opéra & Grands Boulevards
The fashion insider’s Paris address. Only 32 rooms, beautifully restrained interiors and a mood that makes a city weekend feel a little more special. I’d save this for wandering between the Palais-Royal, the Tuileries and a very long lunch. Best for:...
Château Voltaire
Parisian detail with a Japanese sense of calm. Laura Gonzalez’s interiors bring beautiful textures and warm colours to this little 26-room hotel. One I’d save for a central stay with a small spa and a very distinctive point of view. Best for: design ...
Hôtel Hana
Sarah Lavoine’s rich colours and beautiful materials make this 37-room address especially appealing for interiors lovers. There’s a small pool and a courtyard for a slower moment between outings. I’d save it for a central Paris stay with real style. ...
Le Roch Hôtel & Spa
Hidden back from the boulevard, with romantic beds, a glass-covered courtyard and a rooftop bar. Its 50 rooms put it at the larger end of this edit, but the tucked-away setting makes it feel surprisingly intimate. Best for: cocktails / romantic inter...
Grands Boulevards Experimental
Le Marais
A former bakery façade hiding 17 rooms dressed by Christian Lacroix. Colour, pattern and plenty of personality, with the Marais’s galleries and little shops around you. I’d choose this for a Paris trip with a fashion and interiors angle. Best for: fa...
Hôtel du Petit Moulin
A little Belle Époque fantasy with beautifully layered fabrics, art and a library made for lingering. This intimate literary hotel is one I’d save for a proper treat. You don’t need to have read Proust to appreciate the atmosphere. Best for: rich int...
Maison Proust
For the feeling of having an art collector’s apartment on one of Paris’s loveliest squares. Just 12 rooms and suites, with historic details and unexpected modern pieces. I’d save this for a very special Marais stay. Best for: art / Place des Vosges /...
Cour des Vosges
Saint-Germain & the Left Bank
A small, discreet address right by Place Saint-Sulpice. Just 24 rooms and a quieter, more understated feel. I’d choose it for bookshops, café mornings and being able to wander around Saint-Germain without overplanning the day. Best for: Left Bank wal...
Hôtel Récamier
Through a leafy passage and into a beautifully layered Parisian house. This 48-room former mansion has antiques, patterned fabrics and the kind of atmosphere that makes staying in feel tempting. I’d save it for classic Left Bank luxury. Best for: cla...
Relais Christine
The little Paris hotel with a big personality. Only 20 rooms, theatrical interiors and Oscar Wilde’s history woven into the place. I’d choose this for galleries, late drinks and a romantic stay with a slightly decadent mood. Best for: literary Paris ...
L’Hôtel — Saint-Germain-des-Prés
An artist’s-house feeling with only 20 rooms, raw wood, soft plaster and beautiful ceiling frescoes. There’s even an atelier for drawing. I’d save it for a creative Left Bank weekend with walks through the Luxembourg Gardens. Best for: art / thoughtf...
Hôtel des Académies et des Arts
Montmartre & the northern Right Bank
The secret-garden one. A tucked-away mansion with just five suites and wonderfully individual interiors. I’d save it for a romantic escape with slow mornings and Montmartre walks. With so few suites, this is one to plan well ahead. Best for: romance ...
Hôtel Particulier Montmartre
A leafy courtyard, patterned bedrooms and that lovely feeling of having found somewhere personal. This 26-room Batignolles address has the kind of garden restaurant I’d happily build an afternoon around. A good one for exploring a more residential si...
L’Eldorado
Velvet, rich colour and a wonderfully theatrical take on Paris. Jacques Garcia’s interiors make this 20-room hotel feel like a little private world. I’d save it for a romantic weekend when the hotel is as much the point as the city. Best for: romance...
Maison Souquet
Eighteen individually decorated rooms, rich fabrics and an appealing mix of vintage finds. The little in-room cocktail bars are a lovely detail. I’d save this for a livelier Paris weekend with good food, evening drinks and plenty of character. Best f...
Hôtel Providence
The softer, bohemian Montmartre choice. Vintage furniture, a tucked-away garden and just 25 rooms in a nineteenth-century townhouse. I’d save it for café mornings, little neighbourhood walks and a hotel that feels warm and full of personality. Best f...
Monsieur Aristide
A small hotel with plenty going on around it. Dorothée Meilichzon’s design and the South Pigalle setting make it an appealing choice for a weekend of eating, drinking and wandering. I’d save this for a sociable trip with friends. Best for: restaurant...
Grand Pigalle Experimental
Champs-Élysées & western Paris
Warm colours, curved furniture and a playful Belle Époque influence in a handsome 1910 building. With 37 rooms, it keeps things intimate despite the grand location. I’d save it for a stylish base near the Arc de Triomphe. Best for: warm interiors / s...
Château des Fleurs
Rich greens, mirrors and wonderfully layered detail by Anouska Hempel. This 46-room hotel brings plenty of glamour to a smaller setting. I’d save it for a dressed-up Paris weekend with shopping, dinner and a little spa time. Best for: glamour / inter...
Monsieur George
The garden château one. Laura Gonzalez’s interiors give this 50-room mansion colour, pattern and a wonderfully residential feel. I’d save it for a peaceful splurge when you want the hotel to feel like a destination in its own right. Best for: gardens...
Saint James Paris
