12 of the Best Hotels in the 7th Arrondissement, Paris

• It’s difficult to top an Eiffel Tower view, and the Hôtel La Comtesse offers one of the best. This hotel is an elegant, 40-room Paris bolthole converted from a 19th-century Haussmann building just steps from the Champ de Mars.

• If you’re looking for opulence, J.K. Place Paris is a luxurious retreat on the Rive Gauche. Italian architect Michele Bonan's bespoke interiors feature a blend of Parisian antiques and custom-made Italian pieces, which will make you swoon, and the location, in the former European Consulate on Rue de Lille, is a wonderful traditional contrast to the striking modern design.

• Hotel Duc de Saint-Simon is a romantic and intimate, formerly private, Parisian home that is decked with plush fabrics, stylish interiors keeping tradition and elegance the main focus. Wallpapered rooms are small but delightful in their unique and comfortable charm. Prime location near St Germain and the famous Rue du Bac.
• Close to the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the Hotel du Champ de Mars is a stylish hotel with country chic decor behind a refined townhouse facade. Think floral prints and patterned wallpaper. A cosy and romantic choice.
• The Hotel Verneuil is a quiet and romantic hotel nestled. Recently refurbished rooms are well lit, cosy and complete with antiques and books. Wake up to breakfast in bed before heading out and exploring the city. A true Parisian gem. 

• Hotel La Bourdonnais is a great option if you're only in Paris for a few days. This is a stylish property set just a few minutes' stroll from the Eiffel Tower. There’s no restaurant, but there is a kitsch cocktail bar, and there are plenty of places to eat in the 7th.

• Enjoy the riot of colour, pattern and fresco in a remarkable Christian Lacroix-designed hotel, Le Bellechasse. Uniquely designed rooms are fun and frivolous. Enjoy breakfast on the terrace or in your room, before stepping out and exploring the city. The location, just a few steps from the Musée d'Orsay, seals the deal.
• Hotel Montalembert was the first hotel in Paris to call itself boutique. All its rooms are different, but can be divided by being modern or classic. The decoration in both has been carefully imagined: the lights, door handles and furniture have all been specially crafted in such materials as cast bronze, sycamore and leather. The entrance is impressively marbled and the restaurant is fashionably wood-clad. There’s also a cosy library and a ‘fireplace lounge’, and its location is excellent too.
• The relais 12bis doesn’t quite fit this category because it calls itself a B&B, but its five rooms are really elegantly styled, with some fantastic original features like marble fireplaces and arched windows, coupled with beautifully designed furniture, both contemporary and antique. Stay here and you’re also less than 500 metres from the Eiffel Tower. It’s good value as well.

• Hotel de Lille is a 19th-century Parisian pied-à-terre in Saint Germain des Prés, just across the river from the Louvre, which has been stylishly converted into a collection of 15 rooms and suites. The decor is contemporary and elegant, and in the family suites, it’s not fussy at all. There’s no hotel restaurant, but they do offer breakfast and there’s plenty of choice when it comes to local bars, cafes and restaurants. The location makes sightseeing really easy.

• Hotel Mayet is a chic, colourful, three-star hotel on a quiet residential street just off the bustle of Boulevard des Invalides, and close to the Duroc Metro station. Expect colour, but well-applied, African art and commissioned graffiti art too. There are 24 rooms, some of which would also suit families. There’s no restaurant, but they do offer breakfast.
