What to Expect in a Boutique Hotel in Paris

In Paris, hotel rooms are small, even in many luxury hotels. Boutique hotels are "intimate" (another way of saying small) — but what they lack in space, they make up in charm. Don't be surprised if your hotel elevator is the size of a closet with barely enough room for one person and a suitcase. Remember, Paris is an old city with old buildings, and elevators were an afterthought, fit into whatever space could be found.

Many times the breakfast room will be found in the cellar of the hotel, but hotels breakfasts can be expensive. Save money and get a better Parisian experience by heading to a local boulangerie or café for a more satisfying petit déjeuner (breakfast) of coffee and croissant or other freshly baked pastries.

Service in boutique hotels in Paris is usually very good. The front desk will be able to help you make dinner reservations and recommend the best things to see and do in the neighborhood.

Selected Boutique Hotels in Paris

Perfectly located in the center of things, the Hotel Thérèse's neighbors include the Palais Royal, the Louvre, Palais Garnier and the Tuileries Garden — all between a 4- and 10-minute walk away. The Thérèse is one of the lovelier boutique hotels of Paris, with touches from the past mixed with modern amenities.

Hotel Muguet

Loved by travelers and reviewers, Hotel Muguet is in a great location next to Les Invalides in the 7th and is particularly famed for its superb service. Behind the pink-painted brick exterior of this recently renovated hotel are forty-five calm and comfortable rooms.

Hotel Brighton

Hotel Brighton is also in the heart of the city, directly across the street from the gorgeous Jardin des Tuileries, close to the Louvre and all the central Paris sights. As you might expect with a location like that, the views from the rooms facing the garden are simply stunning. The Brighton was one of the very first hotels in Paris and, since its renovation a few years ago, it's charming, modern, and convenient.

The 4-Star Hotel Madison

This boutique hotel is also situated in the highly desirable neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, within site of the church of the same name, the oldest church in Paris. After a renovation a few years ago the Madison was upgraded to a 4-star rating. The 52 traditional, elegant rooms each have their own individual ambiance and décor.
