Best Hotels Under $500 in Paris
Paris is always a good idea, so it has been said, especially if you can stay in a fabulous hotel without emptying your wallet. The museums, the art, the architecture, the cafés, the shopping, the river Seine blissfully flowing through the City of Lights, the pretty bridges, the Eiffel Tower glittering at midnight, the unique personalities of each ‘arrondisement’… all combine to make it the most beautiful city in the world (IMO).
Here are my favorite Paris hotels under $500 a night (though prices may rise during busy seasons). From chic boutique stays to sleek, design-forward retreats, these spots prove you don’t need to break the bank to keep falling for Paris — again and again.
Please note, by clicking on some links, at no cost to you, I may make a small commission to continue to provide this content. Merci!

La Fantasie

La Fantasie is located in the 9th arrondisement, near the Opera and the artist retreat of Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur. Here you will discover a verdant retreat from the bustle of the rest of the city below. Locals love the courtyard garden and there is a chic rooftop with fabulous views of Paris. The garden theme continues in the interior design with pastel colors and floral wallpaper.

Hôtel L’Eldorado Paris

The Hôtel l’Eldorado Paris is a bohemian dream located in the 17th arrondisement (not too far from Montmartre neighborhood, the Musée Jacquemart André, the Opera and even the Arc de Triomphe). The hotel design is a playful mix of eras and styles with velvet walls, floral fabrics and hand-painted De Gournay murals creating a very chic vibe. Rattan chairs, four-poster beds and custom furniture crafted by local artisans and antique dealers add to the hotel’s unique charm. Inside, the green dining room serves classic French fare, and the pretty courtyard with potted palms is perfect for an afternoon aperitif.

Monsieur George Hôtel & Spa

Just from the Champs-Élysées and some world class shopping on the rue de Saint Honoré, this luxe stay brings a whole new level of Parisian glamour to a classic Haussmannian building. Enjoy the fabulous interior design with luscious textures, chic lighting and rich details that make the stay feel more like a private residence than a hotel. Galanga Restaurant & Bar is a Michelin-starred, Asian-inspired restaurant inside the hotel, in a plush, velvet-clad setting. The hotel also offers a spa hidden away in the ancient vaulted cellars.

Le Cinq Codet

Housed in a striking 1930s former telephone exchange, Le Cinq Codet is a sleek and stylish hotel in the posh 7th arrondissement. Natural wood, original artwork and custom furnishings create a polished and pretty vibe. Some suites come with their own terraces overlooking Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower. Some of the duplexes are designed like chic Parisian apartments with high ceilings and wraparound windows. The spa on the third floor has an outdoor whirlpool tub. The marble-clad bar leads to a garden courtyard, perfect for cocktails.

Hôtel Dame des Arts

The Hôtel Dame des Arts is located in the Latin Quarter, a lively area, walking distance to La Sorbonne and Notre Dame Cathedral, Luxembourg gardens and the Panthéon. A very instagrammable hotel in the 6th arrondisement, the Hôtel Dame des Arts even has some rooms with Eiffel Tower views. It also features a fun Rooftop Bar as well as a secret garden courtyard.
