The 9 Best Hotels in the 4th Arrondissement

The 4th Arrondissement is a beautiful enclave of little winding streets, cafes and shops. It's expensive — even by Parisian standards — but that's because it's one of Paris's most iconic neighbourhoods. After all, it's home to the Notre Dame, the Place des Vosges, and the Pompidou Centre, with all its incredible contemporary art and rooftop restaurant with spellbinding city views. If you're taking the kids, be sure to take them to Berthillon for its renowned ice cream. In short, it's a great place for couples and families alike on a city break, and the best places to stay in the 4th Arrondissement reflect this. Some are opulent, luxurious grown-up hotels, while others are spacious boutique properties with family-sized rooms.

True Parisian luxury

So/ Paris Hotel is a stylish five-star just off the Boulevard Morland, so expect gorgeous views from the elegant suites and rooms — picture-perfect vistas of the Seine or the Bastille — and from the rooftop bar and restaurant. The interiors are bedecked with original contemporary paintings and sculptures, plus there's a spa, pool, yoga studio, and free tailor-made facial serums. It's unbridled luxury in the heart of Paris!

A romantic hideaway

You'll feel totally indulged at Cour des Vosges, a 5-star boutique hideaway set in a 17th century building on the Places des Vosges. Here furniture looks like artwork and crystal decanters brimming with vodka and bourbon are in every beautiful, individually designed room. With a subterranean Roman bath (which is available to guests 24/7, on a private basis), deep metal soaking tubs, terracotta-tiled floors and original sculptures, it's a stunning stay and perfect for romance.
Another top pick for romance is Caron de Beaumarchais. It exudes the bright glamour of 18th-century France, replete with colourful ancien regime rooms, period artwork and romantic eaves rooms with gorgeous rooftop views. Only a stone's throw from the amazing shops and restaurants of the Marais.

For families

Hotel Jeanne d'Arc is great for families, a charming Parisian boutique with boutique wallpaper and cosy throws — best of all, there's a spacious family suite to accomodate the little ones. It's proximity to the metro — only a 3 minute walk away — makes getting around town easy, and there are some great restaurants nearby.

Full of character

Hotel de JoBo isn't for everyone, with its vibrant toile de juoy wallpaper, patterned curtains and decadent leopard-print bar, all hidden behind a flamboyant courtyard. Inspired by the Empress Joséphine Bonaparte, it makes for a flamboyant Parisian stay. It's centrally located, being just a short walk from the Notre Dame and Ponte Neuf, and makes sightseeing a breeze.

For a lavish city stay

Hotel Bourg Tibourg is the brainchild of interior design guru Jacques Garcia, so expect the luxury of a Moorish palace inside — with richly furnished boudoirs and a selection of more sleek, contemporary suites. It's within walking distance of all the major sites, and while it doesn't have a restaurant, it's near plenty, and sets you up with a proper Parisian breakfast. Great for a short and lavish city break.

For something fun and lively

There's extravagant luxury to enjoy at Le Grand Mazarin, a flamboyant hotel in the heart of the Marais, offering effortlessly elegant Grand Siècle-style rooms with balconies overlooking the city skyline. Not only is its restaurant, Boubalé, something of a local favourite, but its trendy basement bar hosts live DJ sets three nights a week. Fun and flamboyant city fun!

For seamless sightseeing

Hotel Duo is just steps away from Hotel de Ville Metro Station, making sightseeing seamless from this chic, contemporary hotel. It's primed for relaxation after a day of sightseeing, with its cosy rooms, hip lounge-bar and tranquil garden. Best of all, it's just a few minutes' walk from the Notre Dame!
If you've come to see Paris' sights, check out Le Presbytere — it's just a short walk away from both the Pompidou Centre, the Louvre and Notre Dame. It exudes an old world style, with Gothic features and period furnishings. It's surrounded by lots of great restaurants too, so it's perfect for a short city break!
