Top neighbourhoods in Paris

Marais

The Marais captivates visitors with its medieval charm and artistic soul. Wander through cobblestone streets past 17th-century mansions to discover the iconic Place des Vosges with its perfect red-brick arcades. Art lovers can lose hours in the Picasso Museum or Centre Pompidou, while foodies explore the Jewish Quarter's bakeries and falafel shops. Getting around is simple with three metro stations serving the area. Boutique hotels in converted historic buildings offer authentic Parisian accommodation. For the full experience, browse independent shops during the day and settle into a wine bar as evening falls over this beautifully preserved slice of old Paris.

Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Saint-Germain-des-Prés lets you step right into Paris's intellectual heartbeat. The ancient abbey stands proud while legendary cafés like Les Deux Magots still channel the ghosts of Hemingway and Sartre. Art galleries hide behind historic facades, and the cobblestone streets practically whisper stories of literary giants who once debated here. The Seine's bookstalls and Luxembourg Gardens offer perfect spots for people-watching. The area balances Michelin-starred restaurants with classic brasseries where you can linger over coffee. Metro lines 4 and 10 make exploring a breeze, though these historic streets beg to be wandered on foot. Boutique hotels in converted 17th-century buildings let you sleep surrounded by centuries of Parisian charm.

Latin Quarter

The Latin Quarter buzzes with centuries of intellectual spirit along its medieval streets. Students chat over espresso while visitors browse Shakespeare and Company's beloved bookshop. The majestic Panthéon stands proudly near the historic Sorbonne, while the National Museum of the Middle Ages showcases treasures in a stunning Gothic mansion. Rue Mouffetard's market stalls offer a feast for the senses. Affordable bistros and crêperies cater to student budgets, making dining out a pleasure. Three metro stations connect you seamlessly to Paris landmarks like the Louvre and Eiffel Tower. Boutique hotels in converted mansions and budget-friendly hostels provide character-filled stays in this walkable area.

Montmartre

Perched atop Paris's highest hill, Montmartre charms visitors with its village-like atmosphere and artistic soul. Cobblestone streets wind past the magnificent Sacré-Cœur Basilica, while artists still set up easels in lively Place du Tertre. This historic area has inspired countless painters, from Van Gogh to Picasso, and that creative energy remains palpable today. Cosy cafés and traditional bistros serve up authentic French cuisine between quirky boutiques and hidden art studios. Most attractions are walkable, though the steep streets might have you grateful for the funicular that glides up the hillside. Metro stations Abbesses and Anvers connect you easily to the rest of Paris when you're ready to explore beyond this bohemian haven.

Novotel Paris Les Halles

8/10 Good
"We had a very enjoyable stay at the Novotel in Les Halles. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel was clean and tidy. Although breakfast was nice and had plenty of selection, just be prepared that whatever time you go down for is that it seemed to be quite chaotic. But overall we had an enjoyable stay."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Paris

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Paris is from January to March, when hotel prices are generally lower. To truly appreciate the city's iconic landmarks, rich history, and vibrant culture, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to explore significant sites such as renowned museums, stunning architecture, charming cafes, majestic cathedrals, and historic theatres. For travellers on a budget, this period not only offers great value for money but also the opportunity to experience the city's cultural essence without overspending.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover potential last-minute deals to Paris, explore the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you don't overlook opportunities to secure cheap accommodation. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to see the best hotel deals in Paris. With these resources, you can be among the first to know if prices drop or rooms become available.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could potentially lead to savings on your stay in a Paris hotel. For those seeking distinctive experiences, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you to find the best deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre generally tend to be pricier, but thanks to Paris's superb public transport links, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel further out that remains well-connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known towns nearby, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
