Our Favorite Boutique Hotels in Paris

Paris offers an amazing range of hotels—from grand palaces to charming townhouse properties. Here we highlight some of the smaller properties on both sides of the Seine that our staff and our members adore.


Contact us or talk with your Trip Designer about the Paris hotel options, special perks, amenities, activities and restaurants that are right for you.


LEFT BANK

Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain

One of our favorites on the Left Bank has just been rechristened and is offering our members special benefits. Read our Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain review.

Relais Christine

This handsome, honey-colored hôtel particulier, located on one of the 6th arrondissement’s most charming side streets, feels intimate and discreet and is walking distance to the best Left Bank shopping, the Jardin du Luxembourg and the quays of the Seine. Read our Relais Christine review.

J.K. Place Paris

The chic boutique hotel is in the perfect location and offers wonderful intimacy and stylish sense of place. Read our J.K. Place Paris review.

Hotel d’Aubusson

RIGHT BANK

Hotel Madame Rêve

The new five-star Hotel Madame Rêve Hotel sits a few blocks behind the Bourse de Commerce and feels like the kind of grand palace hotel you might find in a Wes Anderson film. Read our Hotel Madame Rêve review.

Kimpton St Honoré

The Kimpton St. Honoré is an upbeat boutique hotel a stone’s throw from the Opéra Garnier and on the border of the 1st Arrondissement. Read our Kimpton St. Honoré review.

Marquis Faubourg Saint Honoré

Guests have to be buzzed in here—which along with its intimate size (just 15 suites) makes it feel a bit like you’re staying in your very own pied à terre. Read our Marquis Faubourg Saint Honoré review.

Grand Hotel du Palais Royal

Near the Louvre and the Palais Royale, this intimate, elegant boutique sits in a prime location. Read our Grand Hotel du Palais Royal review.

Maison Villeroy

Petite and discreet, this private residence hotel off Avenue Montaigne houses just rooms, suites and apartments in a three-story mansion. Read our Maison Villeroy review.

Saint James Paris

Design eccentricities are all part of the charm at this bold hotel and social club located in a 1892 hotel particulier. Read our Saint James Paris review.
