Our editors have experienced numerous stylish hotels in Paris, yet these 8 stand out as their top choices.
There are specific cities that remain on my travel list indefinitely, and Paris is certainly one of them. Whether it's a week-long vacation, a spontaneous Eurostar weekend, or even a work-related trip (perhaps during Fashion Week?), there's always something fresh and thrilling to discover, a boutique to browse, or a restaurant to enjoy. As the well-known saying goes, Paris is always a good choice. While the museums and landmarks are part of the allure (yes, I still capture photos of the Eiffel Tower every visit), I've come to realize that where I stay has become just as important over the years. The hotel becomes an integral part of the experience—a place to unwind, prepare, enjoy a drink before dinner, or even spend a good portion of the day if the weather is gloomy (which, let’s be honest, feels quite Parisian too). I've learned that the most elegant hotels in Paris aren't always the most obvious; they are often situated in quiet corners or inconspicuous buildings, but once you enter, you immediately know you've made the right choice.
For me, it's not just about how the room looks on Instagram (though that is a plus), but I seek a space that feels connected to the city—whether that's a rooftop with unforgettable views, eclectic decor designed by someone who has been featured in Architectural Digest, or a location that makes it easy to stroll to a nearby café in the morning. The Who What Wear team definitely has its favorite Paris spots, and with every season, our list seems to grow.
With that in mind, I've compiled a fresh selection of the most stylish hotels in Paris, all recommended by our editors. Some are newly opened, while others are slightly hidden gems, but all of them feel like the kind of place where you want to unpack and linger.
1. Le Jardin de Verre by Locke
**Location:** Rue de Lacépède
**Website:** www.lockeliving.com
**Vibe:** Eclectic, comfortable, laid-back.
Located in the Latin Quarter of Paris, Le Jardin de Verre is one of the most stylish hotels for anyone who wants to feel like a local while enjoying the benefits of a hotel stay. The design is fresh without being overdone, featuring leafy courtyard areas and interiors adorned with pieces from local artisans. The apartment-style suites provide ample space to settle in (ideal for extended stays), and the location puts you within walking distance of the Sorbonne, Jardin du Luxembourg, and numerous cozy cafés for relaxed mornings. "Elegant, under-the-radar, and in a fantastic Saint Germain location, Le Grand Cayre strikes that perfect balance of being utterly chic while also welcoming and warm," notes WWW's Editor-in-Chief Hannah Almassi.
2. Maison Delano Paris
**Location:** 8th Arrondissement
**Website:** www.delanohotels.com
**Vibe:** Minimalist, discreet, refined.
Concealed just off Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Maison Delano embodies the quiet luxury that makes it one of the most stylish hotels in Paris at the moment. The 18th-century mansion has been reimagined with a minimalist flair that remains distinctly Parisian. The hotel has a buzz that makes it a favored spot during Fashion Week—close enough to the excitement while secluded enough to feel like an escape. The on-site restaurant, offering a Mediterranean menu, is already quite popular, and the location allows easy access to both key attractions and the finest shopping spots.
3. Madame Rêve
**Location:** 1st Arrondissement
**Website:** www.madamereve.com
**Vibe:** Playful, grand, social.
When a hotel opens in a 19th-century post office mere steps from the Louvre, you know it’s something special. Madame Rêve swiftly became one of the trendiest hotels in Paris due to its mix of grand architecture and sleek, modern design. The rooftop—dubbed ROOF—offers stunning views of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine, especially popular during Fashion Week. The rooms exude warmth with their signature caramel hues, and the hotel’s brasserie and Japanese-inspired dining options provide plenty of choices without the need to venture out. WWW beauty director Shannon Lawlor often endorses Madame Rêve, stating, "After a decade of beauty trips, this one is undoubtedly the coolest. It's become a major hotspot. The rooftop bar and restaurants are favored, but it’s the mid-century, wood-paneled interiors that truly appeal to me."
4. Le Grand Hôtel Cayré
**Location:** Saint-Germain-des-Prés
**Website:** www.miirohotels.com
**Vibe:** Relaxed, focused, accessible.
