The best hotels in Paris 10
Sandwiched between its two main railway stations – Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est – and long passed through without being inhabited, the 10th arrondissement has transformed itself over the past decade into one of the liveliest districts in Paris. The Canal Saint-Martin and its bohemian cafés, the Passage Brady, the Faubourg Saint-Denis and its Indian restaurants, the evening terraces that spill out onto the sidewalk: the 10th arrondissement is a raw and joyful Paris. It’s precisely in this fertile ground that a new generation of 4-star hotels has decided to set up shop. These are some of the capital’s most personal and engaging hotels, some of which are now absolute benchmarks in their categories.
1. Bloom House Hôtel & Spa, Gare du Nord
Opening in 2023 between the Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est stations, the Bloom House has taken a gamble on the unexpected: to bring to the heart of the 10th arrondissement a green and Mediterranean interlude, far from the hustle and bustle of the platforms and departure halls. Design agency Wunder dressed the 91 rooms in warm, luminous tones, light woods and rattan details - a sunny, soothing aesthetic as reminiscent of Tangier as it is of a house in the Luberon. The upper floors offer unobstructed views of Montmartre and the Sacré-Coeur. The real trump card of the establishment lies in the basement: the Bloomy Spa houses an 18-meter indoor pool - enough for real laps - a Jacuzzi, a wooden sauna and two treatment rooms, all included in the stay. A level of service that goes far beyond what you'd expect from a four-star hotel. The Bloom Garden, a Mediterranean-style restaurant designed by young chef Raphaël Gerby, completes the picture with its zellige decor and indoor garden under an arbour. A pleasant surprise in this district undergoing a complete transformation.

2. Hôtel Les Deux Gares, Gare de l'Est
Between the Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est stations, a bourgeois building in the 10th arrondissement of Paris was just waiting for a good idea to bring it back to life. Adrien Gloaguen, head of the Touriste group, found it when he entrusted the entire project to English designer Luke Edward Hall - and to say that he gave it his all is an understatement. Geometric carpets from the 1970s, Art Deco codes, checkerboard floor tiles, leopard-print sofas, floral wallpaper: Les Deux Gares is a perfectly mastered eclecticism, halfway between English chic, Wes Anderson and the spirit of the Parisian faubourg. The 38 rooms, some with balconies overlooking the railroad tracks, form a pastel, graphic decor where boldness never veers into bad taste. The fitness center is equipped with wooden weight machines - a detail that says it all. For meals, we cross the street: the Café des Deux Gares and Les Deux Gares Express, in the same decorative vein, act as neighborhood canteens from morning to night. The hotel also boasts a sauna, a discreet privilege in this transit district.

3. 25hours Hotel Terminus Nord, Gare du Nord
This hotel from German chain 25hours is the address that made the Gare du Nord trendy, right from its opening in 2019. Augsburg-based design agency Dreimeta worked with Parisian studio Visto Images to weave a visual identity rooted in the neighborhood: street-art murals, references to Africa and Asia, a color palette that reflects the diversity of cultures that cohabit here. The 237 rooms - ranging in size from Small to Extra Large with balconies overlooking the lanes - consistently reflect this chromed universe. The NENI Paris restaurant, with its Persian, Arabic, French and Russian influences, is the perfect embodiment of the hotel's DNA. As for the Sape Bar - dark wood panelling, leather armchairs, bronze mosaic - it's one of the district's best-kept secrets for a cocktail in a hushed, stylish atmosphere. An address that guidebooks for urban travelers unanimously recommend, and rightly so.

4. Hôtel Grand Amour, Faubourg Saint-Denis
Grand Amour is a child of the same creative family as Hôtel Amour in the 9th arrondissement: André Saraiva, Thierry Costes and Emmanuel Delavenne, worldly agitators who invented a certain idea of the Parisian hotel business. On Rue de la Fidélité, a stone's throw from the Faubourg Saint-Denis, they have created a place that resembles an artists' residence as much as a lifestyle hotel: 42 rooms, all different, some decorated by artist friends (Olivier Zahm, Claude Rutault), without television or telephone, with contemporary art photographs on the walls (ranging from Pierre Molinier to Man Ray) and palatial bedding as the only concession to bourgeois comfort. The restaurant runs continuously from morning to night, a Parisian brasserie revisited with irreverence, including a natural wine bar. Behind a back door, the BookBar - with its library, weekend DJ sets and discreet club atmosphere - is one of the haunts of Paris's creative scene. The heated patio, lined with green walls, is the place to linger between two drinks. Under the rooftops, the top-floor apartment - 40 sq.m. with a breathtaking view - is worth a detour in itself.

5. Hôtel Providence, Grands Boulevards
There are some hotels that you first visit out of curiosity, then come to love. The Hôtel Providence, nestling on rue René Boulanger a stone's throw from the Grands Boulevards theaters, is one of these. Opened by Pierre Moussié in a Haussmann building dating from 1854, it cultivates the art of the Parisian townhouse: marble fireplaces, herringbone parquet flooring, ceiling moldings, mosaics in the bathrooms. just 18 rooms - all different, all loaded with publisher's velvets, vintage furniture and contemporary art photographs. A special feature: each room has its own cocktail bar, complete with beechwood rack, ice maker and carefully selected spirits. The television has been replaced by an iMac. You're in someone's home, not a chain. On the first floor, the Providence restaurant - raw, marinated or wood-grilled cuisine - attracts hotel guests as much as local regulars, who sit on the terrace as if on a postcard of Paris: cobbled street, lampposts, flower-bedecked window boxes.

18 keys, from €250 per night.
