Having binged season three of Emily in Paris and waiting patiently for season four, it eems that everyone is once again falling in love with the City of Love. The best hotels in Paris is a Google search we’ve been making daily, because if you’re going to visit one of the best capitals in Europe, you might as well go all out — right?
There’s just something undeniably romantic about Paris, a city which has inspired countless poets, artists, singers and writers for hundreds of years. The cobbled streets, the artwork, the brasserie-style restaurants on every corner… we could go on. At this time of year, it’s the dreamiest of places to escape to for a few days of annual leave.
Beloved not just for the endless boulevards and designer stores to browse (in which you will find all the best designer handbags and heels), but for its famous museums, eateries and iconic landmarks, too, Paris is one of the world’s most-visited cities and for good reason! Steeped in culture with plenty to see and do, it makes for a jam-packed weekend getaway. It draws you in, tempting you to commit to a life of breton tops, cliché berets and red lipstick while sipping an espresso and enjoying a pain au chocolate at a cute local café.
There are thousands of places to stay in Paris, from luxury hotels to B&Bs and private apartments — so choosing the best hotel in Paris can be a daunting task. The good news is, no matter what you choose, Parisian hotels have that je ne sais quoi that you just won’t find anywhere else.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, though, worry not. We’ve found the best Paris hotels to book now that are as luxe as the Palace of Versaille itself.
If total luxury is what you’re looking for, then consider the Shangri-La Paris. Located just moments away from the Eiffel Tower, with views of the landmark every which way you look, the hotel is beautifully decorated with a spa and wellness centre to match. For something closer to the Notre Dame Cathedral, Hotel de L’Esperance is perfect. Modern interiors collide with retro nods, plus it’s just a short walk from the river where cafés and restaurants are plentiful.
If you really want to splash out, then check-in to Le Meurice or Le Bristol, which are two of Paris’ most prestigious hotels. Both hotels have hosted dignitaries, celebs and even royalty throughout the years and you will certainly feel like a queen during your stay too. Kind of a night owl? Then definitely check out Grand Pigalle or Sinner, which are surrounded by some of the coolest cocktail bars and nightclubs in the city.
The Hôtel Lancaster offers its stunning, bright and airy rooms. Not five minutes away from the Arc de Triomphe and just off Avenue des Champs-Elysées, it is a hotel you won’t regret booking (just read the reviews).
