The Best Hotels In Paris: Where To Stay In Paris If You're All About Luxury And Style

Hoxton Hotels are well known for seamlessly blending their signature style with the culture and atmosphere of a surrounding neighbourhood. The Hoxton Paris is no exception, bringing its laid-back, cool vibe to a grandiose, classically Parisian 18th century building tucked away on Rue du Sentier. The Hoxton Paris remains a firm fashion set favourite (come fashion week, the hotel is usually packed with international industry folks in town for the shows) but at the weekends, you’ll find plenty of locals having drinks in the open-air courtyard or eating at the hotel’s Rivié restaurant. In other words, it’s the perfect stay for those who don’t want to feel like a tourist in the city. Oh, and did we mention, the beds are gloriously comfortable?

If you’re looking for a cosy stay in the 9th arrondissement that's still an easy walk to the Louvre, look no further than Pulitzer Paris, a 44-room boutique hotel located on Rue du Faubourg Montmartre. As soon as you step inside you feel at home, thanks to the Pulitzer's characterful decor, delicious signature scent and exceptional staff, who are incredibly warm and helpful. The all-day restaurant and bar, Le Patio, is a perfect casual spot for tapas and cocktails, while we loved the hotel’s verdant outdoor terrace, which is heated and remains open for morning cappuccinos and evening aperitifs. Despite being a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of Grands Boulevards, the rooms are peaceful and quiet, assuring a restful night’s sleep.

Situated just off the Champs-Élysées, around the corner from the Arc de Triomphe, sits Monsieur George, a splendid yet intimate 5* hotel in a beautiful Hausmannian building (which, coincidentally, used to be home to early 20th century French actor Raimu). Designer Anouska Hempel (of Blakes Hotel fame) is behind the sumptuously plush Art Deco interiors, where marble, mirrors and gilded finishes reimagine old world opulence in a modern context (the underfloor heating in the rooms is a particularly nice touch). A highlight is Galanga, the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant headed by chef Thomas Danigo, and there's also a spa, which is complete with a hammam, a steam room and a studio for private yoga classes. Leave the Lonely Planet at home, the hotel’s concierge Christopher is the only guide to Paris you’ll need.

Located on the Left Bank, on the doorstep of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs appeals to an if-you-know-you-know clientele (think discerning guests who secretly fancy themselves a little bit Parisian – it’s emerging as a stealth spot for editors during fashion weeks). The 138-room hotel does something rare and precious in Paris: good-value luxury. Unpretentious yet elegant, the gently nostalgic interiors are the work of acclaimed designer Fabrizio Casiraghi, who has borrowed mid-century codes from the golden age of travel (think plaster bas-reliefs by sculptor François Gilles, mahogany panelled walls as well as Marc Chagall and Gustav Klimt lithographs). Downstairs find a buzzy brasserie that spills into reception, a petite but perfectly formed gym and sauna and – for when you’re ready to retox again – subterranean Bar Poppy, open until 2AM. Apparently there’s a piano karaoke night, and we’re sure even that sounds better en français.

With its picturesque terrace, polished bathroom and queen-size bed, and stellar spa, Hotel Pilgrim is certainly worth the jaunt to Paris. Deskside furnishings, an open closet and orange accents throughout the deluxe terrace room contribute to its warming atmosphere. Not to mention the spa and hammam in the basement, and gym, which are a highlight should you wish to unwind at the end of the day. Should you fancy a bite, head to the restaurant area where a plentiful breakfast bar awaits, and the rooftop bar offers a variety of delicious cocktails courtesy of the hotel's mixologists.

Inspired by the Grand Siècle classicism, Le Grand Mazarin is the result of architecture designer Martin Brudnizki's impeccable creations.

Inside the hotel's restaurant Boubalé, you'll find delicious recipes made by the Michelin-starred chef Assaf Grantit and interiors to match. The bar too is not without warm, vibrant patterns and colours, which make ending your day with friends and loved ones all the better.

With its instantly recognisable facade laced with ruby red blossoms, Hôtel Plaza Athénée has been a playground for famous faces from Marilyn Monroe to Jackie Kennedy since its doors opened in 1913. Located opposite Dior's flagship boutique on Avenue Montaigne, this storied (and possibly the most well-scented) hotel offers seven floors of pure opulence with 208 rooms modelled after resplendent Parisian apartments. Chandeliers, sumptuous textiles and Guerlain bathroom amenities? Check, check and check.

Restaurants at the Plaza are overlooked by Chef Jean Imbert, a culinary star who counts Pharell and Beyoncé as firm fans. Spend languid afternoons in La Cour Jardin where meals are inspired by the relaxed vibe of the South of France (the courtyard transforms into a winter wonderland for the festive season) and end your evening with a hearty meal either at Le Relais Plaza (Yves Saint Laurent was a regular) or sample the lobster at Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée. Non-drinkers will revel in the delightfully refreshing champagne alternative, L'Antidote. For breakfast, we can't recommend the signature Pain Perdu (French toast) enough.

The Plaza's prime location is a stone's throw from the city's most breathtaking sights such as the Seine river, the Grand Palais and of course the Eiffel Tower. Its close proximity to some of the fanciest designer boutiques and Champs-Élysées makes it a prime location for style stars and haute couture clientele alike.

Despite its otherworldly furnishings, service at the Plaza is endlessly charming and warm - none of that stuffy, intimidating feel here. It's no wonder that it plays second home to many a regular visitor.

We never need an excuse to visit Paris, but now that Hôtel Dame des Arts exists, that statement has never been more true. Opened in early 2023, this hotel has quickly become one of our favourites in the City of Love.

Comprising of 109 rooms, some with a balcony, roof-top views and a panoramic vista of the Eiffel Tower, this Raphael Navot-designed haven (think wood panels, porcelain, bamboo and glass interiors) is an unparalleled celebration of culture, art and creativity in Paris’ world of hospitality.

The hotel itself is located in the Left Bank of the city in St Germain, a stone’s throw away from Saint-Michel and Notre Dame, and comes with its own spa treatment room, fitness studio, three dining spaces – one with its own outdoor garden courtyard – and a rooftop bar with sights across Paris.

We suggest settling into the rooftop with a Spritz Des Dames Fruités or a glass or La Janasse red wine, before retiring to the restaurant to tuck into dishes including the beef tartare, cod fish with clams, king prawns, a tomato bisque and guijillo, the mushrooms, which come with a tantalising peanut mole and salted granola, before finishing with the irresistible chocolate ganache pudding with mole and coffee cream. Pure heaven.

It’s not often you have the chance to stay in the former home of French royalty (or any royalty for that matter), which makes Shangri-La Paris the perfect place to unwind if you're in need for a touch of luxury and decadence. Once owned by Prince Roland Bonaparte, this exquisite five-star hotel is situated in the 16th arrondissement of the city and, without a question, has the best views of the Eiffel Tower and River Seine of any hotel in Paris.

The hotel comprises of 100 rooms and suites, one bar and two restaurants, with its interiors and cuisine a true fête of European elegance and traditional Asian beauty amid Rococo pastel-hued interiors. Guests have a plethora of rooms to choose from, be it the Terrace Eiffel view room, decorated with chinoiserie accents and the most perfect view of the Eiffel Tower we've ever seen, or the deluxe suite, with French windows that overlook the hotel’s private garden. For the gym-inclined, there’s even a spa situated in the former stables and a health club with its very own pool – a true rarity in France.

As for the food, Shangri-La Paris’ offering is second-to-none, especially given the fact it has the only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in France – Shang Palace – run by Chef Samuel Lee who effortlessly delights guests with Southeast Chinese delectable dishes. Meanwhile, our favourite eatery has to be La Bauhinia restaurant towards the back of the hotel, run by Chef Maxence Barbot. It's where you’ll find the perfect mélange of French South-East Asian cuisine, from the poultry and foie gras sharing plate, to the gambas pad thai, and John Dory served with a lip-smackingly good baba ganoush condiment. Following dinner (and the buckwheat mille-feuille, of course), we suggest floating on over to Le Bar Botaniste in the hotel, which is inspired by nature (expect to see myriad plant and absinthe foundations galore), for tipples including La Riviere de Cassis cocktail, inspired by France and Thailand, and the Parisian Spritz (salut, Champagne!).

One stay at Shangri-La Paris and you’ll never want to leave. You have been warned.

Situated in prime position, just a short amble away from Paris' magnificent Arc de Triomphe, and with a clear view of the Eiffel Tower, The Peninsula Paris is one of the most luxurious hotels you may ever stay in. At a starting rate of £1.6 per room, it might also be the priciest, but trust us when we tell you that the hotel is sheer, Parisian perfection, and absolutely worth it.

Bell boys in white wait under the glass parapet, ready to welcome you through the glass doors into the magnificent lobby, which houses not just the imposing gilded concierge desks, but also an eye-catching sculpture of hand-blown glass leaves suspended from the high ceilings. It's like some kind of Cinderella story but on steroids.

Everything in this spectacular hotel is enormously proportioned, from the high-backed chairs in the atrium, the metres high vases of fresh florals, through to the Lobby restaurant which feels like eating breakfast in a ball room where one ought to be wearing a set of silk gloves.

The rooms themselves are among the most generously sized in the city, and so too is the hotel's swimming pool which sprawls out across 20 metres.

If you want a truly exceptional stay, be sure to book a table at the hotel's rooftop restaurant, two Michelin-starred L'Oiseau Blanc.

Probably one of the most iconic institutions in Paris (which is hard, when you consider the venues on offer in the City of Light), the story of Fouquet's began in 1899, with a brasserie that attracted legends and merrymakers from far and wide. Revived, retold and lovingly revitalised for the 21st Century, Fouquet's brasserie now has both a celebrity chef and an incredibly chic hotel attached to it, bringing in droves of fans the world over.

The hotel could not be more perfectly situated, boldly taking up nearly a whole block of the Champs-Elysées, next to the Louis Vuitton flagship store. And if you're boujie enough to book a suite on the Champs-Elysées side, you can have your morning coffee on a balcony with a perfect view of the Arc de Triomphe. What more could you possibly ask of a weekend in the French capital?

Rooms are luxuriously decked out in Jacques Garcia's interior decor, with quilted headboards that stretch floor to ceiling, white marble bathroom suites and velvety chaise-longues that might just about swallow you whole. Despite the grandeur, don't for a second assume the hotel to be stuffy, for it also has some of the most sweet and attentive staff, and the attention to details (including personalised celebrations for birthdays and anniversaries) are second to none.

When you've peeled yourself back off the furniture, slip into something chic, but comfortable and head down to Fouquet's brasserie for Pierre Gagnaire's melt-in-your-mouth beef steak, oysters, onion soup and so many more rich delicacies.

In short, for those with the means, there is no other place to stay.
