Twinkling lights, decadent food and world-class wines—it’s easy to see why Paris gets its fame for being the city of love. The whimsical city has been the backdrop of countless movies, stories and songs and with its cobblestoned streets, intimate restaurants and bars and ornate facades, you’re bound to fall in love all over again as you explore the dreamy ambiance of Paris.
From boutique hideaways to majestic 5-star suites, here are 15 of the most romantic hotels in Paris.
5 Rue Saint-Roch, 75001 Paris
Hotel Le Pradey
Tucked away on a tiny street near the Tuileries Garden, this elegant hotel showcases everything that is precious about the gorgeous city of Paris. Between the Louvre Museum and glamorous rue Saint Honore, you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding attractions and sights, shops, restaurants, cafes and bakeries. The hotel is made up of 28 rooms, each of which are designed to be calm, charming and evoke a sense of wellbeing. Each room is a little different to the other but promises to have an unparalleled attention to detail. There’s late-night room service if you decide to snuggle instead of making it down to breakfast, but we recommend heading to the cellar-style dining room at least once to feast on seasonal fruits, vegetables, salads, cheese, cold meats, crunchy bread and fresh pastries.
35 Rue de Berri, 75008 Paris
Hôtel Elysia Paris
In a world where romance is dead, you’ll find that really, it’s only a flight away. Or, more specifically, it’s at Hôtel Elysia. Boasting unmatched views of the Eiffel Tower and serene scenes of the River Siene, if you’re looking to rekindle the flame, here sits the perfect match. While you feel the love in the City of Lights, you and your lover can expect a five-star vacay in rooms adorned with weighty fabrics, elegant mouldings, and balconettes plucked right out of your favourite period romance (cough, cough Romeo and Juliet).
Rise and shine to a French-style breakfast of tea, freshly squeezed juice, and pastries, and come dinnertime, devour delicacies from a curated menu of French cuisine before heading to the bar for a nightcap or two (you’re in Paris; no rules apply). Where travel may take its toll in past, Hôtel Elysia’s dedicated wellness area will remedy just that. The fitness room caters to your sweaty sessions, while the wellness area will revitalise you with its energising baths, saunas, ice fountains, and sensory showers. If you prefer some privacy, book a personalised treatment in your very own room. And just like that, you’re ready for night two.
42 Av. Gabriel, 75008 Paris
La Réserve Paris
Tucked just moments from the Champs-Élysées, La Réserve Paris feels less like a hotel and more like an impeccably discreet Parisian townhouse. With just 25 suites and 15 rooms, privacy is the point, and luxury comes baked into every detail. Think marble fireplaces, a guest-only library of thousands of books, a cigar lounge with an impressive humidor, and a stunning 16-metre indoor pool. Select suites even feature private wine cellars for late-night indulgence.
Dining here is equally refined with Le Gabriel, the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, delivering elevated French cuisine with modern finesse, while the intimate bar provides the perfect setting for romantic, late-night chats. Quiet and impossibly chic — consider this Paris at its most swoon-worthy.
