The Paris Edit | Where to Stay

Finding a place to stay in Paris might seem daunting! However, through this list I hope to help alleviate the stress. The hotel options are categorized by neighborhoods to help optimize your tourism itinerary. 

✨ As a self proclaimed Parisienne, I have curated this list with spots that family and friends have recommended to me over the years throughout their many stays in Paris.

🇫🇷 Paris is divided into 20 different districts or arrondissements as the French call it! Each neighborhood has its own charm.  If you want to be in the center of tourism, I recommend staying the the center of Paris.  If you are looking for something in a young and hip neighborhood, then I have options for you too!

Step into the dazzling world of Louis XIV, the Sun King, whose reign defined an era of unparalleled opulence and artistic achievement. This 7-day odyssey invites you to walk in the footsteps of France's longest-reigning monarch, immersing yourself in the grandeur of the 17th century.

From the moment you set foot in Paris, you'll be transported to a time of powdered wigs, gilded carriages, and intricate court etiquette. Wander through the Louvre's Apollo Gallery, where the young king once danced in ballet performances. Stand in awe before the magnificent dome of Les Invalides, a testament to Louis' military ambitions.

But it's at Versailles where the Sun King's vision truly comes to life. Lose yourself in the Hall of Mirrors, where courtiers once vied for the king's favor. Stroll through gardens so vast they seem to touch the horizon, designed to showcase the monarch's dominion over nature itself. 

Venture beyond to Vaux-le-Vicomte, the château that inspired—and perhaps threatened—the king, sparking his desire to build Versailles. End your journey at Marly and Saint-Germain-en-Laye, more intimate royal retreats that reveal the man behind the crown.

This is more than an itinerary—it's a journey through the heart of French history, art, and culture. You'll dine like royalty, sleep in sumptuous hotels fit for a monarch, and gain unparalleled insights into the Age of Absolutism.

Join us on this unforgettable adventure and discover why, centuries later, the Sun King's light still shines bright over France.

Le Meurice

Taking up a large swath of the iconic Rue de Rivoli and facing the Tuileries garden, Hotel Le Meurice is a lot like the palace at Versailles, minus the train ride. Francophiles, understandably, will love it. The hotel is so grand and so ornate, each room brimming with Louis XVI furnishings—the holy grail of silks, gold, brocade, and crystal. While the suites are otherworldly, the classic rooms really hold their own, outfitted with French linen sheets, fresh flowers, floor-to-ceiling marble bathrooms, and beautiful artwork. If you can tear yourself away from those bathrooms, the Valmont spa (no one does toning treatments quite like the French), Philippe Starck–designed restaurant Le Dalí, and Alain Ducasse's Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Meurice Alain Ducasse—helmed by chef Jocelyn Herland, are all at your disposal. Oh, and you know those stunning, even-more-beautiful-than-real-life fruit-shaped desserts you've been seeing all over your Instagram feed? They are the creation of pastry chef Cédric Grolet, who's set up his patisserie right here in the hotel.

Le Meurice is a hotel palace located in central Paris. It offers a 2-star Michelin restaurant as well as a spa and a fitness centre with massage treatments.

Decorated in a 18th century style, with Louis XVI furniture, aach air-conditioned and soundproofed room has a classic decor with a modern twist and a marble bathroom.

Alain Ducasse is the chef of Le Meurice’s restaurant, which proposes gourmet French cuisine. Meals are served in the grand dining area, whose décor is inspired by the Salon de la Paix of the Château de Versailles, revisited by Philippe Starck.

Le Dali Restaurant, serves meals throughout the day, and guests can enjoy a cocktail in the Bar 228, which offers 300 different kinds of drinks and live jazz music every evening. On site, there is also a fitness centre and spa run by the luxurious Swiss brand Valmont.

Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Elysées are a 5-minute walk away, and the Louvre Museum is just 600 metres from the hotel. Tuileries Metro station is 100 metres away, giving direct access to Bastille and La Defense.

Hotel Le Meurice in Paris is pure luxury. My stay there was enchanting, surrounded by regal decor and top-notch service. The rooms are elegant, reflecting French artistry. With Michelin-starred dining and views of Tuileries Garden, it's a perfect blend of sophistication and modern indulgence in the heart of Paris. If you want a taste of luxury, Le Meurice is the place to be

Located near the Louvre and Tuileries Garden, this elegant hotel offers luxurious accommodations and is within walking distance of many attractions.
