20 Best Hotels in the 8th Arrondissement

La Reserve

When we think of Paris, we often think of the 8th Arrondissement. It's a splendid, neoclassical area of collonaded palaces, lavish gardens and grand townhouses — hearkening back to the world of Marie Antoinette. It exudes old world grandeur, and, perhaps most iconic of all, it includes the globally renowned Champs-Elysées, which leads to the Eiffel Tower. Many of the best hotels in the 8th Arrondissement are set in traditional Haussmann townhouses; some were even built on the orders of emperors, or once housed the upper echelons of nobility. They're pure luxury. Many are stylish Parisian boutique stays, great for romantic breaks, others are perfect for short sightseeing trips with family or friends.

For couples

Le Damantin

  • Le Damantin is a luxury riverside hotel with gorgeous views of the Seine. It’s an enchanting option for couples, particularly if they book a luxury room — they’ll get magical views of the Eiffel Tower. Plus, free access to a pampering spa. Primed for a romantic city break.
  • If you want indulgent luxury in the heart of the ‘Golden Triangle’, Maison Villeroy is a good bet. It exudes elegance and luxury, and you're guaranteed special treatment with its butlers, Michelin-star restaurant and oasis of a spa.
  • Hotel San Regis is on the smaller end of the luxury five-star stunners, but that’s part of its beauty and makes for an intimate stay, with its tranquil bar and beautiful interior décor, not unlike a country house, all set smartly in the Golden Triangle.
  • Hotel Bowmann is a gorgeous designer hotel set in a Haussmann building, its classical façade belying a contemporary interior that also remains opulent and indulgent, with gilded mirrors and chandeliers.
  • Couples in search of something special should book the Eiffel Terrace suite at the Hotel de Sers, with views of the Eiffel Tower from its capacious terrace. The hotel has been crafted from an elegant Parisian mansion, with cool designer interiors, spa treatments, and a buzzing bar that draws a local crowd.

Period luxury

Hotel de Crillon

  • Hotel de Crillon is in an enviable location, overlooking the Place de la Concorde, seen by many as one of the most beautiful city squares in the world. This refined, neoclassical palace is as beautiful as its setting: built on the orders of Louis XV, it’s been the residence of counts, and has counted innumerable princes, politicians, and celebrities among its guests. Stunning!
  • You’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stepped into a 19th-century time warp at La Reserve Paris, a five-star Belle Époque hotel dripping with decadent luxury. After all, this was built for Napoleon III’s half-brother. Think silk hung walls, herringbone oak parquet floors and hand-selected antiques. There's a spoiling spa with huge indoor pool, and the butlers, two-Michelin-starred restaurant, and romantic views of the Eiffel Tower seal the deal. A place fit for an empress!

Stylish city break

Hotel Grand Powers

  • Fauchon L'Hotel is a five-star boutique hotel tucked away behind two Haussmann buildings, within walking distance of the Louvre, Place de la Concorde and the luxury boutiques of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. It makes for an effortlessly stylish city break, with its custom-made furniture, gourmet Le Grand Café, spa, and rooms of dusk and gold facing the Eiffel Tower.
  • Le Pavillon des Lettres is a boutique property with everything you need for a stylish city break: unique, contemporary rooms, a luxury champagne bar, all just steps away from Place de la Concorde and the Grand Palais.
  • Hotel Grand Powers is a historic five-star embodying the best of Parisian opulence, with its custom-made furniture, silk linens and velvet upholstery. If that doesn’t win you over, remember that the spa is made of marble. It’s within easy walk of the metro and the Eiffel Tower. A super-stylish city stay!
  • Or what about Hôtel Vernet, a five-star boutique in a classic Haussmann building near the Champs-Elysées? The rooms are chic, the Arc de Triomphe is a stone’s throw away, and dining under the glass atrium of Restaurant V is an unforgettable experience.

For fashionistas

Hotel Alfred Sommier

  • Hotel Alfred Sommier is a beautiful 19th-century mansion in an enviable location if you’re a bit of a fashionista, being located between the boutiques of the Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré and the Printemps and Galeries Lafayette department stores. It screams unbridled luxury, with its marble fireplaces and stucco cornices.
  • Fashionistas will love Hotel Lancaster, not just because it was Marlene Dietrich’s favourite hotel. This stunningly renovated hotel, with its plush rooms resembling a refined luxury townhouse, is just steps from the designer shops of Avenue George V. A stylish stay perfectly placed for a sophisticated Parisian shopping spree!

For families

Marquis Faubourg St Honore

  • If you want to feel like nobility, check out the Marquis Faubourg St Honore. After all, the Marquis de la Fayette once lived with these walls; now renovated into a chic, elegant hotel. The spacious rooms make it a great option for families, and sightseeing is made a breeze due to its short (walkable) distance from the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Opera House.
  • Le Bristol is another opulent luxury stay. Expect three-Michelin-starred dining, the only rooftop pool in Paris, and massive luxury rooms adorned with antiques and original artworks. It’s in the heart of Paris’s luxury designer district, so fashionistas the world over will love it, particularly those with children, as it comes with a kids’ club — and even a hotel cat for the kids to play with!
  • Amastan is a chic, boutique hotel just a five-minute walk from Champs Elysées, with book-lined walls and a cool bar roofed with glass. The spacious, connecting rooms make it a fantastic option for families!

For a chic Parisian stay

Chateau des Fleurs

  • Hotel Keppler makes for a chic Parisian stay, a beautiful boutique close to the Champs Elysees offering sophisticated rooms seamlessly blending modern tech with splendid interior design — the brainchild of Pierre Yves Rochon. For true city style, book out the top-floor suites — they’re intimate, homely and the Eiffel Tower views from the balcony are to-die-for.
  • Chateau des Fleurs is a true homage to the Belle Époque with a chic twist, an elegant combo of Marie-Antoinette-whimsy and modern flair. It was designed in tribute to the Parisian balls of the 19th-century; think marble bars, floral décor, flower boxes on the windowsills. The Korean-French fusion food is a must-try.
  • It’s hard to surpass the cool, chic style of Hotel Norman, with its spacious suites and Thai restaurant, all just steps away from the Champs-Élysées and Arc de Triomphe. The interiors are inspired by artist Norman Ives, so expect geometric prints, vintage sofas, and eclectic art. With its spa, gorgeous balcony views and laid-back, almost old-world vibe, it makes for an effortlessly chic Parisian city break!

For relaxation

Monsieur George

  • Monsieur George is a beautiful five-star on Rue Washington, just a short walk from Champs-Élysées. Moody interiors feature rich velvets and Indian lanterns. It’s perfect for relaxation as its Le Tigre spa boasts a wide range of soothing treatments and a black-and-white mosaic tiled hammam.
