Paris is massive, so naturally, there are going to be loads of hotels in every corner of the city.
But not all hotels in Paris are made equally. You’ll find everything from dumpy budget hotels to grand and luxurious palace suites.
Popping up more and more are design hotels meant to appeal to people looking for pastel hues, quirky details, and vintage charm.
No matter where you stay, make sure you’re located next to a Metro station! This will make getting around much easier, to the point that the neighborhood you choose won’t really matter because the rest of the city will be just a couple of train stops away.
Lucky for you, these handpicked hotels are not only close to Metro stations — they also look as if they’ve been straight-up plucked from the palette of a Wes Anderson movie set!
Feel like you can’t choose only one? That’s reason enough to return for a future trip.

Le Grand Mazarin
Location: Le Marais (4th arrondissements of Paris)

WHIMSICAL LUXURY
Le Grand Mazarin ($$$)
This is a 5-star Michelin-guide hotel that’s well-deserving of its status. With a Wes Anderson meets Alice in Wonderland vibe, this hotel sits on the spectrum between an indie boutique hotel and a palatial luxury hotel! Either way, it’s drop-dead gorgeous.
Saint James Paris
Location: 16th arrondissement
HOMEY CHATEAUX HOTEL
Saint James Paris ($$$)
Set in a neoclassical former private residence, Paris’s only château-hotel underwent a radical transformation last year—and now it feels like a one-of-a-kind Parisian home once again. The 50 rooms and suites have unique nature-inspired wallpapers, ornate moldings, and plush fabrics in mixed colors and textures. Just wait til you see the common room and the garden. Swoon.
Hôtel Jardin de Cluny
Location: The Latin Quarter (5th arrondissement)
“STORYBOOK” BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Hôtel Jardin de Cluny ($$)
Set between Notre Dame and the Sorbonne in the heart of the Latin Quarter, the Hôtel Jardin de Cluny is committed to sustainable tourism. The location of this charming storybook-looking hotel allows you to enjoy the village atmosphere of Saint-Germain-des-Près with its market, streetside cafés, boutiques and museums.
Hotel De Seine
Location: Saint-Germain-des-Prés (6th arrondissement)
TRADITIONAL FRENCH BOUTIQUE
Hotel De Seine ($$)
Another brightly-decorated hotel that’s reminiscent of a Wes Anderson movie! Except this one has a touch of classic French regalness to it. Hotel De Seine is located just 650 feet away from the Mabillon Metro Station.
Hôtel De Fleurie
Location: Saint-Germain-des-Prés (6th arrondissement)
COLORFUL BOUTIQUE
Hôtel De Fleurie ($)
Yet another colorful and cute boutique hotel in the 6th arr. Decorated in pastel colors, the luxury rooms at Hôtel de Fleurie are air-conditioned and feature a private balcony with a view. A continental breakfast of French pastries and hot coffee is served under the breakfast room’s 100-year-old arches!
Hôtel Les Deux Gares
Location: Little India (10th arrondissement)
BUDGET-FRIENDLY BOUTIQUE
Hôtel Les Deux Gares ($)
Designed by British wunderkind Luke Edward Hall, this hotel has colorful and whimsical elements everywhere. You’ll find bold color combinations and eclectic furnishings to nods to French antiques juxtaposed with mid-century lamps. Expect everything from checkerboard patterns, leopard prints, geometric carpets, and Art-Deco details!
Relais Hôtel du Vieux Paris
Location: Saint-Germain-des-Prés (6th arrondissement)
FRENCH HISTORIC HOTEL
Relais Hôtel du Vieux Paris ($$)
A very quaint “old Paris” hotel with unique decorations that feature exposed wooden beams. The 4-star hotel serves a phenomenal breakfast and is located in a great neighborhood with tons of shopping and dining nearby. Plus, the metro station is only a 2-minute walk away.
Hotel Luxembourg Parc
Location: Saint-Germain-des-Prés (6th arrondissement)
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Hotel Luxembourg Parc ($$)
If you are looking for an intimate boutique hotel near the Jardin du Luxembourg, this gem of a hotel is the one for you. Each room is decorated in a different style, but no matter which you get, it’ll surely be bright and colorful. We especially love the decor in the Executive Double Room!
La Maison Favart
Location: 2nd arrondissement
WHIMSICAL BOUTIQUE
La Maison Favart ($$)
The striking La Maison Favart is situated on a quiet street just off the Grand Boulevards, known for its grand architecture, oodles of shops, Parisian cafés, wine bars, and restaurants. The hotel’s whimsical yet opulent design stays true to its 18th-century roots. You’ll find theatrical rooms decorated in royal blues, mint greens, and ruby reds.
Maison Souquet, Hotel & Spa
Location: 9th arrondissement
SULTRY-STYLE BOUTIQUE
Maison Souquet, Hotel & Spa ($$$)
Not quite Wes Anderson, but equally as charming, Maison Souquet is more of an ‘Arabian Nights’ meet French opulence kind of vibe. Drawing inspiration from the building’s early 1900s history as an upscale brothel, you’ll find oil paintings of sultry women amidst lush velvet, Moorish tiles, and antique furnishings.
