With the dollar weaker than ever, here is some good news. You can still find decent hotels in Paris for under 100 Euros. They may not have all the amenities, but they do have clean rooms with en-suite bathrooms.

Other cities have their wonders, but for me, Paris is queen. Dazzling, compelling, impressive and sometimes infuriating (don’t try to drive in that traffic!), the City of Light draws me back.

You’ve been to the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral, gazed up at the Eiffel Tower and the Arch of Triumph, taken a sightseeing cruise on the Seine River. Now you get to discover the lesser-known treasures of Paris — which is what we did on our latest visit to this fabulous city. John and I checked out a few old favorites and looked up places we’d never seen. We did our usual endless walking, poking into covered passageways and tiny shops, and when we tired of that we rode the bus.

I am often asked “which is the best arrondissement to stay in while in Paris?” I have to tell people that it all depends on what you want in the neighborhood in which you’ll be staying.
Do you want to be close-in and in walking distance to the major attractions? Do you want to be in the most glamorous neighborhood, the safest, or the trendiest? The following will give you a glimpse into each of the arrondissements, so you can choose the best arrondissement for you.

Here are our favorite Paris 4-star hotels, listed by Arrondisement. By “average price”, we mean the average price of a double room without any specials or discounts. You may be able to find a better price thorough a travel agent, the hotel’s website or by using a booking service.

These are, in our opinion, the best luxury hotels in Paris. They each have special amenities and services that make them stand head and shoulders above the thousands of other hotels in the city of light.
