Our Editors Have Stayed At Many Stylish Hotels in Paris, But These 8 Are Their Favourites
There are certain cities that never really move off my travel list, and Paris will always be one of them. Whether it's a week-long holiday, a last-minute Eurostar weekend or even a work trip (perhaps even for Fashion Week?), there's always something new and exciting to see, a boutique to shop in or a restaurant to dine at. As the commonly-referenced quote suggests, Paris is always a good idea.
And while the museums and landmarks are part of the draw (yes, I still take photos of the Eiffel Tower every time), what's started to matter just as much to me over the years is where I actually stay when I'm there. The hotel becomes part of the experience—a place to reset, get ready, have a drink before dinner or even spend half the day in if the weather's grey and moody (which, let's be honest, feels very Parisian too). I've realised that the most stylish hotels in Paris aren't always the most obvious ones; often they're tucked away on quiet streets or inside unassuming buildings, but the second you step inside, you feel like you've made the right choice.
For me, it's about more than just how the room looks on Instagram (although that never hurts), I want somewhere that feels connected to the city—whether that's a rooftop with views that you'll always remember, eclectic interiors designed by someone I've seen featured in Architectural Digest, or a location that makes it easy to wander to a neighbourhood café in the morning. The Who What Wear team definitely has its go-to Paris favourites, and every season we seem to add a few more to the list.
So with that in mind, I've pulled together a fresh edit of the most stylish hotels in Paris—which all come recommended by our editors. Some are brand new openings, others are slightly under-the-radar finds, but all of them feel like the kind of place you want to unpack your bags and stay a while.
The 8 Stylish Paris Hotels:
1. Le Jardin de Verre by Locke
Location: Rue de Lacépède
Website: www.lockeliving.com.
Vibe: Eclectic, comfortable, low‑key.
Set in Paris's Latin Quarter, Le Jardin de Verre is one of the most stylish hotels in Paris for anyone who loves the idea of feeling like a local while still getting all the perks of a hotel stay. The design feels fresh without trying too hard, with leafy courtyard spaces and interiors filled with pieces by local Parisian artisans. The apartment-style suites give you your own space to settle in (perfect for a longer stay), while the location means you're walking distance from the Sorbonne, Jardin du Luxembourg and plenty of low-key cafés to start your mornings slowly. "Elegant, under-the-radar and in a great Saint Germain location, Le Grand Cayre hits that sweet spot of being utterly chic and yet welcoming and warm" says WWW's EIC Hannah Almassi.
2. Maison Delano Paris
Location: 8th Arrondissement
Website: www.delanohotels.com.
Vibe: Minimalist, discreet, refined.
