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.
