11 Best Boutique Hotels in Paris
This post is all about the best boutique hotels in Paris!
Having lived in Paris for a while, I explored a lot and discovered plenty of hidden gems – like 17th century townhouses with secret courtyards that turned out to be boutique hotels!
There are so many gorgeous boutique hotels that are guaranteed to make your stay in Paris special. Here are 11 of the best boutique hotels I would recommend to anyone visiting Paris.
Some are on the luxury end, while others are more affordable than staying a typical chain hotel (and they’re all a lot more charming too!)
1. Relais Christine
Relais Christine is a small boutique hotel set in a 16th century mansion in Saint-Germain-des-Près, my favorite neighborhood in Paris. (I may be biased because it’s where I lived!) This hotel is steps away from the Seine and a quick stroll from famous places like Notre Dame and the Louvre.
2. Hotel d’Aubusson
This is another boutique hotel located in Saint-Germain-des-Près that is dripping with Left Bank charm. The Hotel d’Aubusson is located in a stunning 17th century mansion and also offers a spa and large indoor swimming pool, a rarity for boutique hotels in Paris.
3. Le Narcisse Blanc
Le Narcisse Blanc is a boutique hotel located in elegant Invalides neighborhood of Paris. What I love about this hotel is its color scheme: everything is decorated in shades of pink, cream, and gold, and some of the rooms offer Eiffel Tower views.
4. Maison Armance
Housed in a 19th century mansion that was once home to the French writer Stendhal, Maison Armance is a chic boutique hotel located int he glamorous 1st arrondissement. Here you are literally just steps away from the Place Vendôme, Jardins des Tuileries, and the Louvre.
5. Pavillon de la Reine
Located in the heart of Le Marais, Pavillon de la Reine is a stately boutique hotel housed in an ivy-covered mansion. You are extremely close to some of the best shopping and dining in Paris in this neighborhood, and the hotel itself is located right across the street from Place des Vosges, the oldest (and one of the most beautiful!) squares in Paris.
6. Hotel des Grands Boulevards
Hotel des Grands Boulevards is a chic design hotel housed in a building dating back to shortly before the French Revolution began. The hotel’s decor is a subtle nod to the Louis XVI style. Located in the 2nd arrondissement and steps away from a Metro station, this hotel is the perfect, centrally-located home base for exploring all of Paris.

7. Hotel & Spa La Belle Juliette
Tucked away on a quiet street near the border of the 6th and 7th arrondissement, Hotel & Spa La Belle Juliette is a quiet hideaway with a lovely spa. You’re also not too far from the hustle and bustle of the Montparnasse area in the 6th arrondissement.

8. Hotel Grand Powers
Hotel Grand Powers is an elegant hotel located in the famed Golden Triangle of the 8th arrondissement. The Golden Triangle got its name because the area is bordered by three of the most famous avenues in Paris: Champs-Élysées, Montaigne, and George V.
9. Hotel Caron de Beaumarchais
In the heart of Le Marais, you will recognize the charming Hotel Caron de Beaumarchais by its pretty blue facade out front. Inside, the decor of the hotel is inspired by 18th century France. Best of all, this lovely boutique hotel is known for its affordable rates.

10. Hotel Monge
One of my favorite neighborhoods in Paris after Saint-Germain-des-Près is the adjacent Latin Quarter, and that’s where you will find the Hotel Monge. You’re just a short stroll away from famous places like the Panthéon, Notre Dame, and Shakespeare & Company bookstore at this gem of a hotel.
11. Hotel da Vinci & Spa
To round out this list, the Hotel da Vinci & Spa is a beautiful boutique hotel with the coolest spa ever located in one of my favorite parts of Saint-Germain-des-Près.
The Best Boutique Hotels in Paris
So those are some of the best boutique hotels in Paris! I highly recommend staying in a boutique hotel on your trip to Paris if you are looking for a high level of personalized service.
If you would rather go more independent, you can always consider Airbnb. There are so many gorgeous apartments in Paris available on Airbnb, and many cost much less than a hotel would. I actually found the apartment that I lived in in Paris through Airbnb!
