Wondering where to stay in Paris?

Here is a guide to hotels and other accommodation in Paris, organised by arrondissement district (neighbourhood).

There are 20 arrondissements in Paris, each one has a unique personality, some are well-known tourist areas, others are quieter away from the madding crowds. The choice is yours.

Right Bank – the Marais

Le Marais, which translates to “the marsh” or “the swamp” was once an area filled with vegetable farms.

It’s where I lived for 3 years, and is dear to my heart. I could walk out through the huge doors of the private courtyard for the apartment building where I lived on Rue St Antoine, and to my right I could see and walk towards the Bastille monument at the end of my street. The area surrounding la Place de la Bastille was always buzzing with traffic and there were oh so many cafes where I could sit on the sidewalk and watch the world go by. Although that was quite a few years ago now, I still remember it vividly and pop over to visit whenever I return to the city I love.

In this district you’ll also find the city’s delightful Opera House, movie theatres, cafés, a marina (that’s new since I lived there!) which is connected to the River Seine by a “lock” (where boats traverse the waterways), and streets which head north into the Oberkampf restaurant and nightclub area.

Hotel Castex 75004 – I stayed here :-)

This delightful hotel is decorated in a 17th-century style, and is around the corner from where I lived in the 4th Arrondissement, so on a visit back to Paris from Australia I decided to stay there in my old stomping ground.

A delightfully charming little hotel, staff were wonderful, service and accommodation fantastic.

There is a delightful small garden courtyard at this hotel, which has 31-rooms and is located between the Rue Saint-Antoine and the River Seine, and is very close to the Bastille Métro.

Standard in-room amenities include a mini-fridge, an electric kettle with tea and coffee, free Wi-Fi, and a real treat – a gift of a bottle of wine. Such a nice touch!
