Paris's Newest Hotels & Aparthotels
Here are some of my favorite new Paris hotels and "aparthotels" (apartments but with the services of a hotel - typically, daily cleaning, onsite breakfast, and perhaps other amenities such as a fitness room), including some where I've recently stayed or plann to include a future visit.
For me, a hotel or apartment in Paris is more than just a place to stay - it's a way to feel immersed in a neighborhood, however temporarily. I like find a favorite nearby cafe or brasserie for coffee every morning or a drink each afternoon, browse the local stores and galleries, and buy cheese, fruit, and a baguette along a nearby market street for a picnic in the closest park.
So in case you feel the same way, I've included short descriptions of the neighborhoods as well as nearby attractions for each of the hotels below - which, by the way, are arranged (more or less) by opening date, starting with the most recently opened properties.
Hotel Salvia ★★★★
16 Rue Cujas, Latin Quarter, 5th arr; Metro: Cluny-La Sorbonne; RER B: Luxembourg
Chic mid-century furnishings, creamy interiors punctuated by vibrant spashes of color give Hotel Salvia a contemporary vibe in one of the most iconic parts of the Latin Quarter between Luxembourg Garden and the Pantheon.
Formed by combining three adjacent buildings that once housed smaller hotels, the 33 guestrooms and six suites give you the perfect location for relaxing and exploring during your Paris visit.
From small one-person "Cocoon" rooms to "Family" rooms for up to four people, you'll find a range of options here.
For a special treat, book the spacious "Prestige" room on the top floor where you'll enjoy the original beamed ceiling plus views of the Pantheon and and Sorbonne University.
If you're visiting with children or teens, you'll love all of the recreational amenities in nearby Luxembourg Garden: a protected playground for the youngest set, ponds where children use wooden sticks to propel old-fashioned wooden boats across the water, tennis courts and running trails for your teens, and lovely gardens for you to enjoy.
Also nearby are the Pantheon, Musée Cluny, the Seine River, countless boutiques and bookstores, and lots of wonderful places to eat or enjoy a beverage at a sidewalk table.

Hotel l'Aventure ★★★★★
4 Avenue Victor Hugo, 16th arr (across from the Eiffel Tower); Metro & RER A: Etoile/Charles de Gaulle
Located in an iconic spot just steps from the Arc de Triomphe, the new and gorgeous Hotel l'Aventure combines all the facilities of a luxurious 5-star hotel with an elegant onsite restaurant and private club with Art Deco vibes.
With only 16 spacious guestrooms, suites, and an apartment, the hotel features a blend of contemporary decor with nods to classicism. You'll feel as though you're in special guest in a private Haussmannian mansion.
You're only a short walk from the "Golden Triangle," packed with designer boutiques and showrooms, and some of Paris's top fashion musuems and galleries, such as Palais Galliera, Musee Yves Saint Laurent, and Galerie Dior are also in the neighborhood.

Hotel Massé ★★★★
32 Rue Victor Massé, 9th arrondissement (almost on border of 18th); Metro: Pigalle
The newly-opened Hotel Massé features sumptuous public spaces, cocoon-like guestrooms, and a location in Pigalle on a fascinating streets that's one of Paris's hidden gems: Rue Victor Massé, a 2-block cult favorite of musicians and performing artists thanks to its numerous shops selling vintage acoustic and electric guitars, other instruments, and old amplifiers.
The hotel's furnishings and decor feature natural materials, plush fabrics in soothing monotones, vintage accessories and contemporary art, and a minimalist-meets-comfort vibe.
What you may not know if you're not familiar with this area is that the hotel is in the midst of a burgeoning foodie district, with the super-popular Cancan Pigalle bar/bistro, Ukiyo Ramen, and a newish French Bastards bakery location (their laminated croissants and pain au chocolat are memorable) on one side and two popular bistros, Django and La Pantruche on the other, and just beyond them, Rue des Martyrs, one of the city's best market streets.
Of course, some of Montmartre's best-known music halls and performance venues including Moulin Rouge, La Cigalle, and Madame Arthur are just a block or two away and the majestic Sacré Coeur Basilica and the artists at Place du Tertre are up the hill - but if you somehow run out of things to do and see in the immediate neighborhood, just hop on the Metro at the nearby Pigalle station.

Hotel Barnett ★★★★
193 Rue Marcadet, 18th arrondissement; Metro: Guy Moquet
Although the south side of Montmartre (the area sloping up from Boulevard de Clichy to the hilltop where Sacre Coeur Basilica presides over the city) can get quite packed with tourists, especially during the summer, the north side of the neighborhood tends to be more tranquil, more residential, and home to some of the neighborhood's best small bistros.
That's where 4-star Hotel Barnett has recently opened to much acclaim. The 47-room hotel features (mostly) spacious guestrooms, natural materials such as marble and hardwoods, sumptuous fabrics in tones of caramel, luxurious bathrooms, and a mid-century modern vibe. For a special treat, book one of the rooms with a balcony.
The hotel also includes an onsite fitness room and sauna.
Despite the quiet location, all of the top Montmartre attractions are within easy walking distance, plus you can even walk to the big Les Puces flea market from here. Stop by La REcyclerie (Blvd Ornano/Blvd Ney intersection) on the way for a tasty meal.
In case you're not familiar with this part of Montmartre, here are a few bistros on Rue Marcadet within block or two of the hotel that I can highly recommend: La SouRis VeRte, Le Brio, and Cocotte et Tire-Bouchon. Chez Pradel, about two blocks away on Rue Ordener, is also quite good.

Hotel Miss Fuller ★★★★
11 Avenue Mac-Mahon, Ternes neighborhood, 8th arrondissement; Metro: Etoile/Charles de Gaulle or Ternes
An evocative mix of wood, stained and textured glass, metal, and Art Nouveau-inspired wall paper at the Miss Fuller Hotel evokes the Belle Epoque period in Paris when an American dancer mesmerized audiences at Folies Bergères with her serpentine dances, flowing scarves, and evocative lighting.
A team of artists designed the hotel's 44 guestrooms and 4 suites. For a special treat, book one with a balcony and/or views of the Arc de Triomphe, just a few steps away. The hotel also offers a spa and 24-hour gym.
Located in the upscale Ternes neighborhood, the hotel is just a few steps from the Avenue des Champs-Elysees and about a 10-minute walk from Parc Monceau, the "Golden Triangle" filled with designer showrooms, and Galerie Dior.

Villa SoPi Appart'Hotel ★★★★
29 Rue Condorcet, 9th arrondissement (almost on border of 18th); Metro: Anvers or Cadet
At Villa SoPi Apart'Hotel, you get the 24x7 services you'd expect from a hotel (including breakfast options) combined with the convenience of an apartment with a fully-equpped small kitchen. The 14 spacious apartments include studios as well as 1-bedroom apartments that sleep up to four. Contemporary furnishings, light colors, and wood floors give a stylish vibe.
Somewhat surprisingly, considering what you get as well as the popular location, rates for studios fall into the budget-friendly category at around €200/night during all but the most popular months, and a discount is offered for stays of at least a week.
If you're visiting with your young children, Villa SoPi will loan you on request all the essentials you'll need for your stay, including a crib, baby bathtub, changing mat, high chair, and stroller. Onsite laundry facilities are also available.
Located in the trendy (and foodie-friendly) South Pigalle (SoPi) neighborhood about two blocks from the foot of Montmartre, Villa SoPi's location puts you close to two wonderful market streets, Rue des Martyrs and Rue Cadet.
One of Paris's best coffee bars, KB Roasters, is only two blocks away, and the neighborhood is packed with wonderful small cafes, bistros, and shops.

Sax Paris, LXR Hotels & Resorts (Hilton) ★★★★★
55 Avenue de Saxe, 7th arrondissement; Metro: Sevres-Lecourbe and Duroc
Located in a quiet corner of the 7th arrondissement almost on the border with the 14th, the city's newest luxury 5-star hotel, Sax Paris, offers Eiffel Tower views and other famous monuments from its rooftop terrace and all-day restaurant plus numerous other amenities: a heated outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi in its garden area, a fitness center and spa, family-friendly amenities for kids (including pop-up tents and stuffed animals), and even loaner bikes for a ride along the Seine.
The 118 guestrooms and suites feature a mix of classic and contemporary decor in earth tones and stunning marble bathrooms. Even the smaller rooms are spacious, and the suites are huge. For a special treat, book accommodations with a terrace.
The hotel's location put about a 1-minute walk from Rue de Sevres, known for its high-end shopping including Le Bon Marché and Hermè's flagship store, about 15 minutes on foot to Luxembourg Garden and Musée Rodin, and about half an hour to the Eiffel Tower and Seine River - all lovely strolls.
A couple of nearby metro stations give you fast and easy access to the rest of the city.

Hotel Elysée Montmartre ★★★★
78 Boulevard Marguerite de Rochechouart, 18th arrondissement; Metro: Anvers or Pigalle
Hotel Elysée Montmartre sits between two of Montmartre's storied concert venues, Le Trianon and L'Élysée Montmartre. La Cigale, known for its concerts featuring famous and emerging artists, is also nearby, and just a bit farther along Boulevard de Clichy is the famous Moulin Rouge Caberet.
Straight up from the hotel is Sacre Coeur - and honestly, the walk up isn't as bad as it looks - I've done it many times. But if you want a less strenuous cardio workout, you can walk two blocks to the east and wind your way up the gentler slope of Rue d'Orsel, which takes you past a variety of fabric and trim stores including, near the top, Marché Saint-Pierre.
Most of the hotel's 16 guestrooms and suites are on the small side, but the custom pale eucalyptus furnishings combine with the cream and caramel color scheme to create a Scandi aesthetic that makes spaces appear larger and exudes calm - and in fact, two of the options, the Triple Family Room and Duplex Suite, are quite spacious.
A special feature (which is fairly unusual for Paris) is the Kid's Room, a lounge and play area with games, books, and activities for kids and their families whole staying at the hotel. If you've ever travelled with young children, you can instantly understand the appeal!
There's also a small cinema room with a screen and DVDs for guests to use.
Although the Elysee Montmartre has only been open for a short time, it's already quite popular so if you want to stay here, don't wait to book!

Hotel Filigrane & Spa ★★★★
40 Rue Vivienne, 2nd arrondissement; Metros: Grands Boulevards and Richelieu-Drouot
Hotel Filigrane is located in a fascinating part of the 2nd arrondissement close to Druout (Paris's top auction house), several 19th century covered passaages (the closest, the maze-like Passage des Panoramas, features numerous shops selling stamps, coins, and other collectibles), and Musée Grevin, Paris's wax museum (which is lots of fun to visit). Because of its proximity to Drouot, the hotel is also close to lots of small antique shops and galleries.
Two of the city's biggest grands magasins, Galeries Lafayette and Printemps as well as Palais Garnier (the Paris Opera House) are about a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The surrounding neighborhood has dozens, or more likely hundreds, of small budget-friendly places to eat.
The hotel's 46 nicely decorated guestrooms tend to be compact (which is typical for this neighborhood), so if you like a bit of space, book one of the somewhat larger rooms, ideally with a balcony or terrace. The hotel also has a small pool and spa for relaxation.

Maison Barrière Vendôme ★★★★★
17 Rue du Mont Thabor, 1st arrondissement; Metro: Tuileries and Concorde
Located between Tuileries Garden and the ultra-luxe Place Vendome, 5-star Maison Barrière Vendôme has become another jewel in this storied corner of the 1st arrondissement where designer showrooms (Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel) and famous jewelers and watch makers (Bulgari, Cartier, Chaumet, Rolex, Philippe Patek) dominate.
If shopping isn't your passion, Palais Garnier (the Paris Opera House) is less than 10 minutes on foot, and the Louvre is only slightly farther. An onsite spa gives you the chance to relax without venturing outside the hotel.
Each of the boutique hotel's elegant 10 rooms, 6 suites, and 10 apartments pays homage to a legendary woman with ties to Paris such as Nina Simone, Maria Callas, Madame Curie, and Audrey Hepburn. Although the size of one guestroom is moderate, all of the other accommodations range from spacious to enormous. Rates, as you might imagine, are on the high side but compared with some of the other hotels nearby, they almost seem like a bargain considering what you get.
Stunning Pere Frey fabrics contrast with rustic wood beams and timbers to maintain a vibe that manages to be both luxurious and down-to-earth. The theme continues at the onsite restaurant and bar named after Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.
If you're looking for sophisticated elegance combined with personalized service in a boutique property with the vibe of an elegant private home, this could be your new favorite Paris hotel.
As a bonus, if you visit in November or December, the Place Vendome neighborhood boasts some of the city's most spectacular Christmas lights and decorations.

La Fondation ★★★★★
40 Rue de Legendre, 17th arrondissement
La Fondation is the newest 5-star hotel to open recently (joining J'Adore Paris, profiled later in this article) in the increasingly trendy but still-authentic Batignolles neighborhood in the 17th arrondissement.
The 58 guestrooms and suites feature light-filled spaces with luxuriously-comfortable contemporary furnishings. With a rooftop bar offering Eiffel Tower views, two restaurants, work areas, and a professionally-managed onsite gym with spa, a semi-Olympic sized swimming pool, and climbing wall, La Fondation offers a lot of amenities to its guests.
Although the 17th arrondissement, like most of Paris's other "double-digit" districts, is somewhat off the radar screen for many visitors, three nearby metro stations give you convenient access to other parts of the city as well as the Montmartre neighborhood next door. As a bonus, rates here are lower than comparable 5-star hotels in the more central single-digit districts.
And with three gorgeous parks (Square des Batignolles, Parc Clichy-Batignolles Martin Luther King, and Parc Monceau) nearby, many excellent cafes, boulangeries, coffee shops, and indie boutiques, and a couple of charming market streets, Batignolles exudes an appealing village vibe.
During a recent stay at La Fondation, I fell in love with both the hotel (especially its amazing gym, large swimming pool, and rooftop terrace bar) and the friendly neighborhood. Daily strolls along the wonderful nearby Rue de Lévis food street and Parc Monceau added to the pleasure of staying in this neighborhood.
While many 5-star Paris hotels usually exceed my budget, hotel rates in the double-digit arrondissements such as the 17th where La Fondation is located typically trend lower than than those in the pricier single-digit districts near attractions such as the Louvre and Notre Dame. Because getting around by metro is so fast, I didn't feel like I gave up any convenience by staying in the 17th - an authentic Parisian neighborhood that I've always loved.
A special memory: an evening spent in the small cafe/bar across the street while sharing a delicious charcuterie board with my daughter while cheering Paris Saint-Germain as they won the UEFA Champions League.

Le Jardin de Verre - Aparthotel
7 Rue Lacépède, Latin Quarter/Jardin des Plantes, 5th arrondissement
Just steps away from the beautiful Jardin des Plantes, an 18th century hôtel particulier (townhouse) and a 19th century factory have been combined to create Le Jardin de Verre, a gorgeous new aparthotel.
The result is a luxurious city oasis with 135 serviced apartments of various sizes, each with its own fully-equipped kitchenette - perfect for enjoying treats from the nearby twice-weekly farmers' market at Place Monge as well as the Rue Mouffetard market street, the neighborhood's renowned bakeries and cheese shops, and tasty takeaway favored by the many university students at the nearby Sorbonne.
A yoga room, fitness room, co-working space, a glass-enclosed atrium restaurant, outdoor courtyard, and laundry facilities provide plenty of options for relaxing after spending a day exploring Paris.
More to love: The surprisingly affordable rates, especially if you avoid the busiest times (May, June, July, the Christmas-New Year holidays, and Easter weekend).
I haven't stayed here yet (it's already quite hard to book for longer than a day or two), but Le Jardin de Verre is on my own shortlist for a stay later this year.

Hotel Madame Drouot ★★★★
19 Rue Drouot, 9th arrondissement
The elegant new 4-star Hotel Madame Drouot is located in a buzzy part of the 9th arrondissement near Palais Garnier (the Paris Opera House), the Galeries Lafayette and Printemps grands magasins (big department stores), the Musée Grevin wax museum, and several of the city's most fascinating 19th century covered passages.
The hotel's 33 guestrooms and suites feature a charming blend of modern and classical decor, with soothing tones and, wood flooring and paneling, and marble bathrooms. In addition, you'll find an onsite cafe, pool, and spa.
If you love discovering vintage and antique treasures, the biggest location "plus" for this new and chic hotel is its proximity to Paris's famed auction house, Hotel Drouot.
You can enter for free and preview the paintings (including some by famous artists), furniture and decor, vintage designer clothing and bags, jewelry and silver, antiquities, and other objects before they're auctioned the following day, when you can even bid if you find something irresistable.
This neighborhood is also home to many antique and vintage shops.
Also near the hotel are two of Paris's epic market streets, Rue Cadet and Rue des Martyrs.
Hotel Madame Drouot is also on my list of places to stay later this year.

Disneyland Hotel ★★★★★
Disneyland Hotel, a spectacular Victorian-style property with 487 rooms and suites offering luxurious 5-star accommodations, offers the biggest perk of all to Disneyland fans: a superbly convenient location inside the Disneyland Paris Park, which makes it the only hotel with direct Disneyland access.
Since Disneyland Paris is located just a few minutes' walk from the nearby train station with service from Paris, it's super-easy to get to.
After being closed for two years for top-to-bottom renovations, the hotel is now even more gorgeous, glamorous, and fun than before, and the perfect spot for your most memorable Disneyland vist.
The Disneyland Paris Hotel gives you an immersive Disney experience with Disney characters in the Castle Club Lounge, a variety of VIP benefits and services, and two gourmet dining choices, The Royal Banquet and La Table de Lumiere.

Hôtel Pilgrim ★★★★
11 Rue de Poissy, 5th arrondissement
In addition to 53 guestrooms and suites, a fitness room, pool, spa, and onsite bar, Hôtel Pilgrim offers one of the city's most coveted amenities: a rooftop terrace with sweeping panoramic views of the city, including the dome of the nearby Pantheon and, in the distance, the Eiffel Tower.
Accommodations feature calm decor in softly neutral tones and plushly comfortable beds. Although some rooms are on the small side - the norm in the Latin Quarter, and for that matter, the rest of Paris - Hotel Pilgrim also offers several types of rooms and suites ranging from spacious to quite large.
During a recent 5-night stay here, we especially loved the hotel's quiet location near the Seine River - perfect spot for evening strolls - plus easy access to the Jardin des Plantes botanical garden, Roman-era Arenes de Lutece, exquisite collections in the beautifully-curated Institute de Monde Arab (where we also caught a couple of terrific special exhibits), and the Cluny Museum, world-famous for its Roman and medieval collections.
We also made a surprise discovery: a former medieval monastery built in 1248 called Collège des Bernardins, and now used for exhibitions, concerts, and conferences. Admission is free, and it's literally across the street from the hotel.
If you're interested in architecture of the Middle Ages, this is an unexpected treasure and a must-see site!
Hotel Pilgrim is also just a couple of blocks from bridges across the Seine River to Ile de la Cité, giving you easy access to Notre Dame Cathedral, the fascinating Archeology Crypt, Sainte-Chapelle, and the Conciergerie, as well as to Ile Saint-Louise where charming boutiques and bistros line the main street and yet another bridge leads to the popular Marais neighborhood.

Bloom House Hotel & Spa ★★★★
23 Rue du Chateau Landon, 10th arrondissement
The luxurious 4-star Bloom House Hotel & Spa offers 91 light-filled guestrooms and public spaces featuring elegant modern decor, an indoor swimming pool and spa, a fitness center, a bar, and a beautiful onsite restaurant and terrace garden filled with plants.
You'll love the hotel's location if you're arriving at either Gare du Nord or Gare de l'Est, as it is only about a 5-minute walk to both of them. Canal Saint-Martin and all its trendy boutiques and bistros, Place de la Republique, and Sacre Coeur are also nearby.

1.75 Paris La Trêve ★★★★
5 Avenue de Lowendal, 7th arrondissement
When you want the amenities and service of a luxurious 4-star hotel with the space to spread out afforded by having your own apartment in Paris, La Trêve may be exactly what you're looking for.
The 5-floor hotel offers five very large apartments, each with 3 or 4 bedrooms and space to sleep up to 6 or 8 (perfect for large families and friend groups). Plus, each floor also includes a "pod" of 3 or 4 suites (there are 17 in total, each with room for up to 2 or 4 guests) organized around a shared living room, kitchen, and dining area - so you get the amenities of an apartment but you share them with a few others.
A butler prepares and brings breakfast to each dining area every morning. Guests can prepare lunch or dinner, if they wish, in the suite or "pod" kitchens - super-easy to do since the famous Rue Cler market street is nearby, overflowing with delicious prepared foods, rotiserrie chickens, produce, a wonderful cheese vendor, bakery treats, and wine shops.
The hotel also has an onsite bakery and a restaurant headed by a Michelin-starred chef on the ground floor.
Another plus: La Trêve's location is on the "park" side of the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides (site of the Army Museum and Napoleon's Tomb), so while you're close to these top attractions as well as smaller specialty museums and superb shopping, you're not in the midst of the crowds of tourists on the river side.
Although I haven't had a chance to stay at La Trêve yet, it's on my "future visits" list, as I love this neighborhood and all that it offers. A nearby metro station gives you easy access to the rest of the city, plus you can also walk down to the Seine and hop on the Batobus at the stop in front of the Eiffel Tower for a day or two of explorations along the Seine.

Le Grand Mazarin ★★★★★
17 Rue de la Verrerie, 4th arrondissement
The owners of the new 5-star Le Grand Mazarin combined three adjacent townhouses to create this sumptuous haven on a quiet lane in one of the Marais' buzziest areas, just steps from the BHV/Marais luxury department store, chic cafes, hidden parks, and specialty museums.
Almost directly across Rue de la Verrerie from the hotel is the exhibition galleries at Fondation Azzedine Alaia, devoted to the creations of the late Franco-Tunisian haute-couture designer - if you have any interest in fashion, do not miss it or its "hidden gem" cafe/bar tucked away in the front courtyard.
This is one of my own favorite parts of the Marais to stay in, and I can attest to the wonderful vibe (and good food) of the nearby cafes and bakeries.
Each of the 47 guestrooms and 14 suites feature gorgeous decor in perfectly balanced tones of pale jade, mango, and persimmon with a French-classicism-meets-Art-Deco kind of vibe. Stunning Aubusson-style tapestries form canopies over the beds but any danger of too much formality is more than offset by playful touches and curvy shapes.
Treat yourself to a room with a balcony for wonderful views of Le Marais' photo-worthy rooftops.
Several rooms and suites can even be connected to accommodate up to 10 people - ideal if you're traveling with a large family or friend group.
Amenities include a swimming pool, spa, and well-equipped fitness room, and an onsite bar and restaurant featuring Middle Eastern cuisine.

La Fantaisie ★★★★★
24 Rue Cadet, 9th arrondissement; nearest metro: Cadet
The 9th arrondissement's newest 5-star hotel, La Fantaisie, offers lots to love: 63 spacious guestrooms and 10 suites (including an option for up to 6 guests) with chic decor in garden-fresh shades of peach and green, marigold and blue, plenty of luxury touches, and a fun location on one of Paris's charming pedestrian-only market streets, Rue Cadet.
Onsite dining choices here are top-notch - which they have to be in order to complete with all the appealing options along Rue Cadet. I'm especially fond of their terrace cafe (you can see one of my favorite lunches in the above photo).
However, the hotel's most charming surprises are hidden from view: the lush rooftop garden and enchanting rooftop bar with views of the Eiffel Tower and Sacre Coeur.
A stay at La Fantasie positions you in a fascinating part of the city near the foot of Montmartre, the Rue des Martyrs food street, and the fun Grevin Wax Museum. Palais Garnier is about 10 minutes away by foot if you want to see an opera or ballet.
And Drouot, Paris's premier auction house where you can walk in (for free) and see amazing museum-quality art on display before it's sold, is also nearby.
