Choosing a hotel in Paris starts with choosing a budget: the price gap between a well-located budget hotel and a palace in the 8th arrondissement can be a factor of 20. This selection presents real establishments in three price brackets, with their neighbourhood, transport links and drawbacks, to help you compare before you book.
How this selection was put together
The hotels listed below are existing establishments, chosen for their location (a central neighbourhood or one well connected by metro), their official star rating and their price positioning. This is not an objective ranking, nor a review tested by Paris Authority: the prices shown are indicative nightly rates for a double room outside high season, recorded in September 2026 — they vary with dates, availability and current offers. Always check the up-to-date rate directly on the hotel's website or a booking platform before deciding.

How to choose according to your profile
If the deciding factor for you is the neighbourhood rather than the budget — being close to a specific monument, a local, lived-in atmosphere, peace and quiet or nightlife — our guide Where to stay in Paris: choosing the right neighbourhood details the different areas of the city. If you are specifically looking for a hotel around the Louvre, our dedicated selection Where to stay near the Louvre compares addresses within walking distance of the museum.
