Looking for budget Paris hotels near the Arc de Triomphe? 

First, a quick geography lesson:  three Paris arrondissements meet at the famous Arc - the posh 8th and 16th arrondissements to the east and south, and the upscale 17th to the northwest. 

Now for a Paris insider's secret:  While many hotels in the 8th and 16th range from pricey to astronomical, you can find some real bargains among the many small 2-star and 3-star hotels in the quiet, primarily residential 17th.  

So take a look at the six budget hotels below, and check out the terrific values.  Most are in the 17th Arrondissement.

Rates vary according to season - use the links to see the best rates for your travel dates.

All of these budget hotels in Paris are close to the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Élysées, as well as other lesser-known attractions such as Fondation Louis Vuitton in Bois de Boulogne, Parc Monceau, the Stade de France convention and entertainment center, and La Défénce business district to the west. 

All are also close to stations on the Paris Métro's Line 1, which gives you fast access to popular attractions such as the Louvre, Palais Royal, and the Marais neighborhood.

Guestroom at the newly renovated 4-star Le Belgrand Hotel Paris Champs Élysées

The 4-star Le Belgrand Hotel Paris Champs Élysées jumped up by one star and a lot more elegance when Hilton recently gave it a top-to-bottom renovation and added it to its "Tapestry" collection (which is why you should ignore online reviews from prior to 2020). 

With that 4th star, its rates no longer fall into the bargain category, but you still may want to consider it for its superb location in the posh 16th Arrondissement, about a 5-minute walk from Arc de Triomphe, Champs Élysées, and all the designer boutiques and couture showrooms in the Golden Triangle.  You can also walk to Trocadéro in 5-6 minutes - perfect spot to watch the nightly light show at the Eiffel Tower.

All 46 air conditioned bedrooms feature serene decor, contemporary furnishings, private safes, and plenty of amenities.  The nearby neighborhood is home to lots of great restaurants and cute night spots - enjoy!
