The Louvre museum sits in the 1st arrondissement, between the rue de Rivoli and the Seine, served by the Palais-Royal — Musée du Louvre station (lines 1 and 7). Staying in this area lets you reach the museum on foot in a few minutes, but prices here are among the highest in Paris. Here is a selection of hotels at genuine walking distance, from the most affordable to the most upmarket.
How this selection was put together
Every hotel listed has been verified as being in the 1st arrondissement, in the immediate vicinity of the Louvre, the Palais-Royal or the Tuileries. We state the walking distance where it is known rather than calling a hotel "nearby" without checking. Prices are indicative nightly rates for a double room outside high season, recorded in September 2026: they fluctuate considerably depending on dates and availability.
