Best Hotels Near The Louvre

One of the most iconic sights in Paris, Le Louvre is simply not to be missed on your first – or even fourth or fifth – trip to the French capital. Located on the right bank of the river Seine and a splendid example of French Baroque architecture, the world-famous museum is the world's largest and most-visited art museum, and is perhaps best-known as being home to the Mona Lisa herself. Naturally, there's a plethora of hotels nearby to cater to the near-nine million tourists that pass through its doors every year. From luxury pads which are ideal for romance (complete with pampering spas and sumptuous interiors), and hotels with restaurants that are amongst the best in town, to charming traditional properties where personal service is the name of the game — you'll find them all here!

For a romantic getaway

Located alongside the Jardin des Tuileries, the cosy, stylish Le Roch Hotel & Spa has plush guestrooms, a huge indoor pool and an excellent spa with hammam and treatment rooms. For a really luxe stay book the apartment for exclusive use of the entire 6th floor.
A perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the City of Love, Le Relais du Louvre is an elegant little hotel overlooking the Église Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois, down a quiet street in the 1st Arrondissement. With classic French interiors and stunning views, this is Parisian romantic charm at its best.
As the name Hotel du Louvre would suggest, this property is slap bang next to the museum itself. The historic exterior belies a modern but elegant refurbishment inside, and with dazzling views and a brilliant brasserie, you've got all the ingredients for a perfect Paris weekend.
Nestled on the Left Bank in a peaceful area not far from the banks of the Seine, the small, five-star Relais Christine is a relaxing retreat that gives guests a true taste of classical French style and romance. Lovely gardens and excellent buffet breakfasts. Perfect for a romantic break.

For opulent fine dining

A luxurious palace hotel, Hotel Le Meurice first opened in 1815 and is resplendent with 18th century grandeur. Today it is home to Michelin star dining, with the dazzling Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse (2 stars) plus Le Dalí Restaurant, serving local and seasonal French cuisine.
There are four restaurants and bars on-site at the Cheval Blanc, including the 3 Michelin starred Plenitude serving French haute cuisine with Mediterranean and Asian twists The contemporary Art Deco-inspired hotel boasts fabulous views overlooking the Pont Neuf – a fabulous foodie treat.

For modern luxury

Down a narrow street near Palais Royal is Hotel Therese, a gorgeously restored 18th-century building. Replete with elegant colours and textures, the small but achingly chic suites are decorated in the utmost style and attention to detail.
If artistic immersion at The Louvre isn't quite enough, then Drawing Hotel's contemporary art-filled interiors will help you get your fix. With guestrooms conceived by renowned architects and designers and furnished with exciting design pieces and unique artwork, there is also a private lab dedicated to modern drawing.
The aptly named Grand Hotel du Palais Royal enjoys floor to ceiling windows with spectacular views, and fresh and contemporary style. The best rooms boast a private balcony and there's the Holidermie Spa for relaxation with its hot tub and Star Hammam.

For old-world Parisian charm

Timeless elegance is the order of the day at La Tamise, a 19th-century mansion which has been converted to a small but stylish hotel. Once a family townhouse, its rooms are furnished with wooden shutters and fine fabrics. The stunning original staircase, marble fireplaces and stained glass windows are fine details matched by the excellent service.
A typical Parisian mansion on the Left Bank of the Seine, Hotel D'Aubusson is a 17th-century honey-stone townhouse turned luxury hotel. With a jazz bar and peaceful terrace, it is a lovely spot to unwind after a day out sightseeing.
Another antique and art-filled delight, Hotel Brighton on the Rue de Rivoli is home to classically decorated rooms and suites, with lovely views of Tuileries Garden.
