The Best 4-Star Hotels in Paris

The Best 4-Star Hotels in Paris

1. Maison Favart

The pitch? Located in the Vivienne district, a 10-minute walk from the famous Paris Opera, this 4-star hotel is nestled on a peaceful square in the heart of the capital’s 2nd arrondissement, away from the hustle and bustle of the Grands Boulevards. Decorated in an 18th-century style, this charming hotel pays homage to Justine and Charles Favart, the former owners of the property and a prolific theatrical couple. Charles, a playwright and director of the Opéra Comique, helped make vaudeville famous in the 18th century.

The hotel? Designed in a quintessentially Parisian style by the architectural duo Laurent & Laurence, the hotel immerses guests in a romantic and artistic atmosphere right from the lobby, with its stone-walled common areas, upholstered armchairs, and pastel shades ranging from almond green to powder pink—not to mention its lounge library featuring a roaring fire. A stylistic blend of Baroque whimsy and modern comfort, the decor of the 39 rooms and suites combines unique touches, luxurious fabrics, and the warmth of a family home. Divided into five categories, the alcoves resemble an opera stage set, adorned with taffeta, passementerie, thick velvet, silk, satin, and toile de Jouy curtains. Some offer the privilege of a courtyard balcony, while others boast a first-rate view of the Opéra Comique. All rooms feature a unique layout, with a modern, attic, or boudoir feel.

The true gem of the hotel, the 75 m² La Petite Maison comprises two apartments overlooking Place Boieldieu and the Opéra Comique. Featuring two bedrooms, two living rooms, a dining room, and two marble bathrooms with Jacuzzis, this independent maisonette is a vibrant tribute to Charles Favart’s passion for drama, song, and dance.

What sets it apart? On the lower floor, beneath stone vaults, guests can enjoy a fitness room featuring a variety of cardio equipment, a sauna, and a swimming pool with a waterfall and water jets—all in the heart of Paris. The wellness area can be reserved for an hour of absolute peace and quiet. Every afternoon, a light snack is served to guests.

Good to know? Located near the Grands Boulevards, the Opéra Garnier, and the Opéra Comique, the hotel on Rue de Marivaux is a five-minute walk from Galeries Lafayette and Printemps, making it ideal for a shopping trip in the capital.

Which room should you book? The Garden Junior Suite. Accommodating up to 4 people, this room—with its private living area and double shower—is a favorite thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto the small patio garden.

When it comes to dining—and to extend these moments of bliss—the bistro La Table d’Aristide offers a menu focused on ultra-local ingredients, to be enjoyed at tables set with Vichy-check tablecloths. Eggs with mayonnaise and gomasio, roasted sea bass served with spring onions, asparagus, and baby carrots, chocolate mousse… so many dishes that are a delight to rediscover in a guinguette-style atmosphere enlivened by the clinking of balloon glasses.

7. Hôtel Monte Cristo

The ambition of this hotel—with its Second Empire style tinged with Orientalism—was to recreate a world worthy of Alexandre Dumas’s legendary character: vibrant patterns, exotic plants, antique finds, and fine materials, from the lobby all the way to the guest rooms. The bathrooms feature 19th-century tilework and magnificent vintage sinks and faucets. If you’re feeling a little peckish, take a seat at the Grand Dictionnaire, a nod to the culinary encyclopedia written in 1873 by Alexandre Dumas and chef Denis Vuillemot. It’s the kind of place where you wouldn’t be surprised to run into the ghost of Edmond Dantès sitting on a velvet ottoman! 

What sets it apart? The 1802 Bar (now the largest rum bar in Europe), a tribute to the author’s Caribbean roots. Over 1,600 varieties of rum are just waiting to be served by a bartender who’s a true connoisseur of the subject!

8. Prince de Conti 

Where? Just a few meters from the Pont Neuf, between the Monnaie de Paris and the streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Prince de Conti is located in the heart of Paris’s 6th arrondissement. It was very close to here, at the corner of Rue de Seine and Rue de Mazarine, that Molière founded the Illustre Théâtre with Madeleine Béjart in 1643. It was also in this area that the former Hôtel de Conti once stood, the residence of the princely family that counted among the playwright’s patrons. This rich history shapes the identity of this 4-star boutique hotel, which offers 23 rooms and suites.

Paristory Hotels Collection, a family-run hotel group led by sisters Alexandra and Julie Marang, has opened its fourth Parisian property here, following the Grand Powers, the Grand Hôtel du Palais Royal, and the Plaza Tour Eiffel. The group has chosen not to recreate a 17th-century private mansion exactly as it was, but rather to recapture its spirit of freedom, sociability, and whimsy.

The interior design was entrusted to Éric Allart, an interior architect, designer, and antique dealer. Wood paneling, fireplaces, trompe-l’œil painted ceilings, Pierre Frey fabrics, and furniture inspired by the Grand Siècle come together to create a lavish setting, interspersed with more contemporary references. Portraits of Molière hang alongside a photograph by Harald Altmaier and pieces by Ettore Sottsass. In the lobby, the reception desk has been replaced by an antique table draped in fabric, just as one might find in a private home. The library lounge displays 18th-century engravings depicting the Monnaie de Paris, a portrait of the Duchess of Navailles, and an antique edition of Molière’s works. Breakfast is served in a room adorned with green trellises, evoking the gardens that once surrounded the private mansions on the Left Bank. 

The 23 rooms and suites feature this same decorative style, with sizes ranging from 14 to 31 m². The Superior and Deluxe rooms, ranging from 14 to 16 m², accommodate one or two guests and overlook Rue Guénégaud or the inner courtyard, which has been transformed into a contemporary grove; some feature a terrace, including one room accessible to guests with limited mobility. The 25-square-meter Duplex Suites are spread over two levels, with a living room and bathroom on the first level and a bedroom upstairs. The 31-square-meter suites include a separate living room with a sofa bed and can accommodate up to four people. The Terrace Suite, of the same size, adds a tree-lined outdoor area and a marble bathroom with separate shower and bathtub, while another suite on the upper floor offers a view of the Institut de France and the Monnaie de Paris.

In short: an intimate hotel that also appeals to families thanks to its connecting rooms, suites that can accommodate up to four people, and duplexes designed like full-fledged apartments. A hotel with a Grand Siècle spirit, full of life, that skillfully avoids feeling like a museum.

9. Hôtel Dame des Arts

Opening in early 2023, the Hôtel Dame des Arts is ideally located for lovers of the Left Bank, in the heart of the Latin Quarter. To highlight the cultural and artistic atmosphere of the 6th arrondissement, interior designer Raphaël Navot made wood the central theme of his design, featuring ceilings carved from this material and walls adorned with fluted oak half-cylinders. Refined furnishings, contemporary murals, and a unique collection of artworks and objets d’art in the 109 guest rooms—along with breathtaking views of the Parisian rooftops and the Eiffel Tower—enhance this 4-star Parisian hotel.

What sets it apart? The warm and cozy rooftop bar, open on sunny days, which offers a 360-degree view of the City of Light. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy an aperitif during golden hour and unwind to the rhythm of the musical events and culinary experiences organized by the hotel. 

Good to know? The beautiful restaurant, Pimpan, with its lush terrace, is run by Chef Clément Courtemanche, who showcases French ingredients while boldly blending them with Mexican and Asian flavors.

10. La Bourdonnais Hotel

The Hôtel La Bourdonnais has established itself as one of the new benchmarks for 4-star hotels on the Left Bank. This boutique hotel, part of the Inwood Hotels collection and located just a stone’s throw from the Eiffel Tower, stands out for its commitment to sustainability, recognized by its award of the European Ecolabel in 2025. Designed by architect Oscar Lucien Ono, its 53 rooms are organized into three color schemes: blue with floral accents, beige and straw, and terracotta. From the moment guests arrive, the guest experience has been completely reinvented: the former traditional lobby has given way to an Oriental-inspired lounge where travelers are now invited to settle in for a personalized, seated check-in. 

The 4-star hotel in Paris offers seven room types tailored to every type of traveler: the Single (12–13 m²), the Classic (15–17 m²), the Classic Eiffel Tower (15–17 m²), the Executive (18–23 m²), the Executive Eiffel Tower (18–23 m²), the Deluxe (24–28 m²) for 3 people, and the spacious Junior Suite (28–33 m²) that can accommodate 4 guests. All rooms feature a private coffee maker and renovated bathrooms with a bathtub or walk-in shower, stocked with Terre de Mars toiletries. An Executive Room, located on the 6th floor on the courtyard side, guarantees absolute silence, while the 6 rooms with a view of the Eiffel Tower offer one of the most sought-after panoramas in the capital. We particularly love one of the Junior Suites on the courtyard side, equipped with a Japanese-style toilet, a walk-in shower, and sofa beds.

What sets it apart? Life at the hotel revolves around cozy common areas. The breakfast buffet is served from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. (11 a.m. on weekends) in a cozy setting. Starting at 4:30 p.m., the Minuit Express bar takes over with its three culinary themes (Europe, the Americas, and the East). The hotel also features a meeting space that can accommodate up to 50 people, and its strategic location allows guests to reach Rue Cler or the Grand Palais in just a few minutes.
