16 Best Boutique Hotels in Paris (2025)
1500.
According to ParisDiscoverGuide.com, that’s the officially recognized number of hotels in Paris, a number that doesn’t even include those labeled as “aparthotels” nor Paris Airbnb listings.
If that number doesn’t shock you, here’s some context: in comparison, New York City has around 258 officially recognized hotels and London comes in at 700+.
More than double the number of hotels in London and you’ll hit the one thousand, five hundred hotels that Paris has to offer.
If you’re planning a trip to Paris, there are an overwhelming number of Parisian hotels for you to choose from. Not only does this high number of hotels mean more for you to search through, it also means there are substantially more mediocre hotels you could unfortunately end up booking for your dream trip to Paris.
The good news for you is that while living in Paris for three years, I bookmarked all of the stylish and highly rated Parisian hotels I came across, bringing you the round up you’ll discover below.
This is by no means a robust list of all the best hotels in Paris (you can find our entire list of favorites here), but rather a list of boutique hotels in Paris that have been intentionally designed and updated to be as stylish as the French themselves. My hope is that by the end of this post, your Paris planning has become a little bit easier and that one of these boutique Parisian hotels is the perfect match for your travels to Paris.

On arrival the receptionist welcomed us and assigned us our room, walked us to the elevator and wished us a good evening. The deluxe twin room was impeccable, and it had a sweet little balcony with views of the Sacre Couer on the skyline simply wonderful day and night. The windows were double glazed and you could barely hear a peep from the busy roads below. The shower was spacious and water temperature and pressure perfect and there was also a rainfall shower head option. The amenities were a great addition, ear plugs, nespresso machine, tea/kettle, the hand wash, shampoo and body wash all smell stunning! Like high end designer skincare (and you can buy it) We stayed for 2 nights and our beds were made up and amenities refreshed. The rooftop bar has incredible 360 views of Paris which was a really wonderful experience and we were lucky enough for the sun to come out on a rainy day so we could see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. Very very highly recommend this hotel, pay the little extra for a deluxe room and definitely head up to the rooftop for a glass of champagne!! We didn't visit the restaurant but it was busy both night we stayed and smelled wonderful.
