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.

- 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.
