How we choose the best affordable hotels in Paris
Every hotel on this list was selected independently by Condé Nast Traveler editors and written by a journalist who has visited the property. Selections weigh design, location, service, and sustainability alongside overall value.
The Hoxton, Paris — 2nd arrondissement
Set in an 18th-century townhouse, The Hoxton’s 172 rooms blend herringbone floors, brass details, and midcentury touches. Room categories range from compact Shoeboxes to larger Biggys, all with pared-back, confident design. The lively ground floor—Rivie brasserie and Jacques’ Bar—makes the hotel a neighborhood hangout as much as a place to stay. Prices: from around $275 per night.
Hotel Rochechouart — 9th arrondissement
A restored Art Deco building in Pigalle, Rochechouart revives 1920s theatrics with restored blue mosaic floors, marble staircases, and a rooftop bar with Sacré‑Cœur views. The 106 rooms use woody hues—bronze, ochre, terra-cotta—and the ground-floor brasserie serves comforting Parisian classics. Price: from around $164 per night.
Boudoir des Muses — 3rd arrondissement
Romantic and deliberately provocative, Boudoir des Muses occupies an 18th-century building once tied to theatrical life and later a convent. Suites feel generously spacious compared with many Paris boutique hotels; public areas double as a lounge, bar, and event space with live DJs, cabaret, and workshops. The hotel offers private baths and an intimate program of events. Prices: from around $275 per night.
Le Pigalle — 9th arrondissement
A small, well-thought‑out hotel on the edge of Pigalle, Le Pigalle balances Art Deco furniture, curated photos, and a youthful, nightlife-friendly vibe. Rooms are compact and cleverly appointed with turntables and vinyl; the lobby morphs into a late breakfast spot and a theatrical evening setting with velvet banquettes and a pole behind a red curtain. Prices: from around $250 per night.
Hôtel les Deux Gares — 10th arrondissement
Located near Gare du Nord and inspired by London designer Luke Edward Hall, this corner Haussmann building is playful and colorful, mixing French antiques with midcentury lamps and bold patterns. The hotel’s Café Les Deux Gares has become a local favorite; fifth-floor suites offer rare balcony views over Parisian skies. Price: from around $205 per night.
Hotel Bienvenue — 9th arrondissement
A smart Art Deco–style option in South Pigalle from Adrien Gloaguen’s portfolio, Hotel Bienvenue charms with candy-pink and white striped touches, floral armchairs, and a plant-filled courtyard. Rooms are compact but well styled, making it a convenient pied‑à‑terre close to the Tuileries and the Marais. Price: from around $175 per night.
Hôtel de La Boétie — 8th arrondissement
Minutes from the Champs‑Élysées, Hôtel de La Boétie occupies a modest street address yet offers interiors by Beata Heuman that play with color, texture, and shape. Rooms are visually bold—tapestry headboards, pink sheets against green tiles—while the bar and casual breakfast suit a busy city itinerary. Price: from around $245 per night.
La Planque — 10th arrondissement
A three-star hotel that felt revolutionary on opening, La Planque transformed an apartment block into 36 retro‑chic rooms designed by Dorothée Delaye and Daphné Desjeux. The palette of khaki, forest green, gray, and rust, bespoke Art Deco–inspired furnishings, and a library lounge (once a sweet shop) create a nostalgic, stylish base near Belleville and Canal Saint‑Martin. Price: from around $170 per night.
Hotel des Academies et des Arts — 6th arrondissement
In a building with artistic history (Modigliani’s workspace and other artist connections), this 20-room hotel from Chapitre Six leans on pared-back design to let creativity take center stage. White lime plaster, heavy oak furnishings, and frescoed ceilings by Franck Lebraly in some rooms make it a compact, art-focused stay. The hotel pairs with the Académie de la Grande Chaumière for occasional lessons and hosts rotating exhibitions. Price: from around $245 per night.
Maison Mère — 9th arrondissement
A cozy, honey-themed hotel near rue des Martyrs, Maison Mère blends playful hexagon details and Nuxe bath products with an all-day restaurant, Hey Honey. Fifty-one rooms and two suites show artwork and curated objects (many items are for sale), and communal spaces include a bubblegum-pink ’70s sofa and a co-working table—welcoming, comfortable, and slightly whimsical. Price: from around $275 per night.
Babel Belleville — 20th arrondissement
A 31-room hotel inspired by the Silk Road and the neighborhood’s multicultural soul, Babel Belleville uses glass lanterns, tomette tiles, and tapestries for a souk-like feel. Owner Joris Bruneel and designer Daphné Desjeux involved the community—artists, local cooks, and refugee-chef internships—to build a hotel with social purpose. Rooms are minimalist but thoughtfully appointed with local coffee and framed travel photos; the hotel supports local social programs. Price: from around $115 per night.
