Want hotel service with a cozy atmosphere? Paris’ boutique hotels offer travellers a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the Parisian way of life. Housed in majestic buildings at the heart of must-see districts, they represent the richness of French history and heritage while offering an ultra-personalised service. We focus on six charming four-star hotels where you can kick back and feel like a local.

Les Dames du Pantheon: a feminine universe in the heart of the Latin Quarter

Pushing open this hotel’s front door, you immediately plunge into the world of iconic women. Édith Piaf on the second floor, Marguerite Duras on the sixth; the guest rooms use materials and objects to illustrate the freedom of spirit of these and other influential women of their time. A highlight is the third floor dedicated to George Sand, whose decoration – between Art Déco and classical – captures the facets of both female and male novelists. Les Dames du Panthéon

New Hotel Le Voltaire: a pied-à-terre in eastern Paris

After 18 months of monumental work, the New Hotel Le Voltaire reopened its doors with 47 rooms. From its common spaces to its colourful bedrooms, the hotel is wonderfully welcoming and feels like a home-from-home. Ideally located in the dynamic district of the 11th, Le Voltaire is a resolutely Parisian address where the living is easy. New Hôtel Le Voltaire

Hotel Daniel: a haven of peace in the golden triangle

Far from the minimalist diktats of hyper-designed hotels, the Relais & Chateaux Hotel Daniel plunges guests into an exotic, colourful atmosphere. Nestled between the Champs-Élysées and the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the Daniel combines the charm of a mansion with the personalised service of a four-star hotel. With only 26 rooms, it feels like home. A real refuge in the city! Hôtel Daniel

Le Six Paris: the art of well-being in the Montparnasse district

Guests of the Hotel Le Six Paris enjoy the discreet luxury of ultra-personalised service. Elegant and modern, this Parisian address nestled at the heart of the 6th will seduce the most discerning travellers in search of French refinement. Thanks to its spaces designed for guests’ well-being – a light-flooded winter garden, a spa with organic treatments and a lounge with fireplace – you can’t help but feel calm and serene here. An exclusive address where you’ll feel truly pampered. Hôtel Six Paris

Maison Astor: exclusive service close to Faubourg Saint-Honoré

Attention to detail and well-being are major parts of Parisian art de vivre – and they have fascinated the Astor family for generations. Through its numerous works of art, rich book collection and exceptional furniture, Maison Astor invites guests to learn about the incredible family heritage while enjoying the refinement of the place. Combining tradition, comfort and modernity, the 131 rooms of this family-run mansion will seduce travellers in search of intimacy and elegance. Maison Astor

Les Deux Girafes: a family home between Bastille and République

Situated between Bastille and République, Hotel Les Deux Girafes has taken up residence in a disused 19th-century furniture factory, making it unique from the get-go. From the contemporary wall art in the bedrooms to the comforting atmosphere of the lounge and the delicious cuisine of its restaurant Le Beslay, Les Deux Girafes is like a big family house set around a courtyard haven… the ideal place to switch off.
