In Paris, our favorite hotels near the Louvre
For a stay in Paris, nothing beats a hotel right in the center. We’ve selected hotels that have the immense advantage of being just a stone’s throw from the Louvre and its collections. Italian painting, Islamic art and Etruscan pottery are all yours.
Château Voltaire, a hotel 600 m from the Louvre
Thierry Gillier, founder of Zadig & Voltaire brand, has created a 5-star hotel in place of his offices, close to the Louvre, between the Tuileries and the Opera. The famous Festen duo, Charlotte de Tonnac and Hugo Sauzay, are in charge of the interior design, accompanied by artistic director Franck Durand. Created from the merger of three 17th and 18th-century buildings, the Hôtel de Paris Centre boasts 32 different rooms.
The best? The 40m2 walk-through apartment, under the roofs, extended by a terrace planted by Louis Benech and offering a lovely view thanks to its glass roof.
We love Émil, the brasserie-style restaurant with its banquettes, white tablecloths and Mediterranean-style menu. The bar, La Coquille d'Or, named after the 16th-century motif that adorns its door to the street, is a real gem. It boasts a very cosy look: black lacquered walls and ceiling, illuminated by 4 gold shells, thick carpeting, deep banquettes... Here you can sip signature cocktails such as Le Voltaire and the Madame Claude, garnished with shell-shaped ice cubes, to the sound of a jazzy playlist. The underground design spa with sauna and hyper-graphic swimming pool is well worth a visit.

Grand Hôtel du Palais Royal, 100 m from the Louvre
Boasting an exceptional location, opposite the Palais Royal gardens, a stone's throw from the Louvre museum, on the Place de Valois where the Savoir agency from Emily in Paris is located, this five-star hotel has the rare advantage of offering impressive peace and quiet right in the heart of Paris. Behind its listed facade, the lobby is full of surprises: busts of Diderot and Lully welcome visitors, and a huge old-fashioned trunk at the foot of the stairs houses the luggage room! The decor, by Pierre-Yves Rochon, features light tones and lime green, echoing the garden of the Palais Royal, in the 59 rooms and suites.
The best? The 55m2 Eiffel Tower duplex Suite, with a view of the Sacré-Coeur, the Palais Royal, the Eiffel Tower... You have the rare privilege in Paris of sleeping with the window open, lulled by birdsong!
The Café 52 restaurant, run by chef Maxime Raab and boasting a terrace overlooking the Place de Valois, offers a healthy menu all day long, and a Holidermie-stamped spa with two treatment rooms, a hammam, a hairdressing salon and a gym completes the offering at this quintessentially elegant hotel
