-
Best view: You won’t want to get up in the morning at Hôtel Brighton; you’ll be happy just staying in bed and gazing at the panorama, which, depending on the room you stay in, might include the Louvre, Tuileries gardens, or Eiffel Tower.
-
Best for families: Right by the Bois de Vincennes (the city’s eastern park, an ideal spot for a family picnic), Hôtel de la Porte Dorée offers pretty rooms at very affordable rates and caters to kids with free crayons, toys, and cots.
-
Best splurge: It’s hard to say whether the decor is modern or period at Relais St-Germain, but it doesn’t really matter, because it’s simply beautiful. The coveted priority seating at Le Comptoir downstairs is all dark wood and plush fabrics.
-
Most charming period piece: L’Hôtel re-creates the ambience of Belle Epoque Paris, when the hotel’s most famous resident, Oscar Wilde, was cavorting in the neighborhood until he died here in 1900. It’s a bit of Old France right in the middle of the trendy Saint Germain neighborhood.
-
Most eco-friendly: Off the beaten track in the 11th arrondissement, Eden Lodge Paris uses solar panels for all its lighting, has high-tech self-cleaning floor tiles, and serves delicious organic breakfasts. It also overlooks one of the loveliest hidden residential gardens in town.
-
Best for a quirky honeymoon: A location (quite literally) on the Seine; cool, cabinlike rooms; a hip cocktail bar; and a bijou outdoor pool—OFF Paris Seine is the city’s first floating hotel and a wacky but romantic spot for couples with a sense of fun.
-
Best value: Blessed with a prime location in the Marais next to a lovely and leafy square, Hôtel Jeanne d’Arc le Marais is a terrific budget option.
-
Best for street-cred: With a hip brasserie, a cool cocktail bar, and rooms with a vintage-chic vibe, Hôtel Bachaumont is the place to be seen.
