6 Best Hotels near the Arc de Triomphe

Arc de Triomphe Image by matthiasfr from Pixab

The Arc de Triomphe is one of France's most iconic landmarks. At the western end of the Champs Elysees - Paris' most renowned designer shopping precinct, which sits at the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle - it honours those who fought in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, a great marble archway inspired by the ancient Arch of Titus in Rome. There are plenty of accommodation options close by, but we think that our pick of the best hotels near the Arc de Triomphe has something for everyone, from grand hotels, to chic boutiques and crowd-pleasing family favourites.

For a Boutique hotel

The clue is often in the name and Hidden Hotel is no exception: a snug, rejuvenating hotel in the heart of Paris that more resembles a Buddhist retreat, offering intimate and romantic rooms ideal for couples and businessmen alike. Decorated in muted, earthy colours - with walls of exposed brick and wood, the spacious rooms are stripped of any needless frills and ornaments, emphasising harmony and spirit-restoring simplicity. Boasting in-room yoga walls - the first of their kind in France - and bathrooms adorned with African tribal art and objets d'art, it makes for a relaxing stay right near the Champs Elysees.
Hotel Vernet is just steps from the Champs Elysees, Paris' most renowned designer boutique shopping precinct. A boutique 5-star with a gourmet restaurant headed by executive chef Richard Robe, it makes for the perfect getaway for couples seeking intimacy and relaxation. The rooms are chic and colourful, aglow in warm lamplit lighting, while downstairs, in Restaurant V, you can dine in the ornate glass atrium.

For a family friendly hotel

Just a stone's throw away from the Champs Elysees, Hotel Balmoral is a chic 4-star housed in a classic Haussmann-style townhouse, offering bright and colourful designer guestrooms adorned with beautiful modern abstract artworks from the 1920s and plenty of antiques. It is a fantastic option for families with two room suites which can sleep up to four and an apartment for six . A real treat!

Chic hotels near the Arc de Triomphe

Room Mate Alain is decorated in a classically French style with a quirky, chic twist: the colourful designer rooms are adorned with rare objets d'art and antiques, optical illusion bedspreads and Italian bespoke furnishings. The carpets and curtains are chintzy and colourful, while the black-tiled bathrooms are stylish and contemporary and the balconies provide enhanting views of Parisian streetlife. Romantic and well positioned for shopping and sightseeing!
High-culture-meets-homely, Hotel Keppler is a blend of chic design and home comforts. The simple rooms, with their creamwhite walls decorated with bursts of ecstatically colourful modern art, embody elegance and sophistication. The hallway and lounge have a black and white chequered marble floor, period fireplaces, velvet sofas and chairs, and rare artsy curios scattered around. Ideal for couples looking for a unique and trendy base-camp.

Grand hotels near the Arc de Triomphe

You live like royalty at Hotel Balzac. From the very entrance you get a taste of Old World glamour, with its golden curtains and regal-red velvet chairs. The Eiffel-tower-facing rooms feature opulent furnishings, antiques, white chaise longues, and whirlpool baths; the velvet-upholstered lounge bar, too, is gorgeous, facing the Eiffel Tower, providing breathtaking views. And while you can live like a king, you can also dine like one: the gourmet restaurant has 3 Michelin stars and is the envy of Paris.
