In Paris, love is in the air! Here are five irresistible hotels for a romantic honeymoon-style getaway or a caliente staycation. From cozy hideaways to terraces with breathtaking views, these addresses have that little je-ne-sais-quoi that makes hearts beat faster.
La Maison Favart: the hotel of Parisian lovers
The pitch: Near place Boieldieu with its madly romantic vibe, this boutique hotel has everything of a cozy little nest for a romantic weekend in Paris. Just picture it: in a historic building dating back to 1834, 39 rooms and suites with a delightfully revisited 18th-century style, ultra-cozy little boudoirs, charming attic rooms, toile de Jouy and damask tapestries… Most of the keys offer a balcony with a view on the Opéra Comique, while a small spa under stone vaults houses a sauna and a pool. Nice touch: every month, the concierges share their gems: the must-see play, the exhibit of the moment or an amazing restaurant to absolutely try.
The sexy touch: The hotel owes its name to Charles-Simon and Justine Favart, a famous couple of lovers and artists who made the glory days of the Opéra Comique.
5 rue de Marivaux, Paris 2e
Hôtel Mansart: the address for history lovers
The pitch: Nestled at the corner of place Vendôme and rue des Capucines, this hotel built by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, the architect behind the Château de Versailles, the dome of the Invalides and place Vendôme itself, is a real love declaration to the art of living and the history of Paris. With only 57 rooms with unique scenography, it offers intimacy and incomparable charm. The backdrop of your romance? Antique furniture, delicate fabrics and a precious collection of a hundred artworks, with portraits of Eugénie de Montijo, Napoléon III, and Mansart himself.
The sexy touch: Cherry on top, the world’s most beautiful jewelry boutiques are just steps away. Just saying!
5 rue des Capucines, Paris 1er
Monsieur George: the chic and confidential gem
The pitch: This urban cocoon imagined by the fascinating British decorator and actress Anouska Hempel offers 46 rooms and suites near the Champs-Élysées. The vibe? A clever mix of discreet luxury and British elegance that hits the mark. Romantic balconies to admire Paris, cozy duplexes under the roof or ground-floor rooms with shaded patios, you’ll surely find the perfect setting for your nights. For fine dining, head to the Michelin-starred restaurant Galanga, where chef Thomas Danigo offers modern, refined, and surprising cuisine. Pro tip: book in advance, as Monsieur George is the discreet address everyone in Paris is after.
The sexy touch: Installed under arched caves, the spa is a little jewel with its sensual and soothing atmosphere. And since Sarah-Line Attlan, founder of Lymfea, took over, you get next-level lymphatic drainages.
1 rue Chateaubriand, Paris 8e
Le Cinq Codet: the lair of sexy dandies
The pitch: This boutique-hotel, named in honor of Louis Codet, dandy and friend of poets, is the spot for stylish rendezvous in its 60 rooms and 7 suites, some in duplex with 5-meter ceilings – yes, 5 meters! – the ultimate rarity in the capital. Under the hand of Jean-Philippe Nuel, the architect behind the revival of the Lutetia, the spaces turn into light wood cocoons and clean lines, adorned with artworks. Worth noting: the restaurant Chiquette offers cosmopolitan cuisine, perfect to recharge.
The sexy touch: The hottest suites are on the top floor with private terraces offering a breathtaking view on the Invalides. Picture yourself there, soaking in a hot tub under the stars, with the Paris skyline as backdrop.
5 rue Louis Codet, Paris 7e
Le Narcisse Blanc: the refuge of tender hearts
The pitch: Inspired by Cléo de Mérode, a Belle Époque dancer adored by Klimt and Degas, Le Narcisse Blanc exudes a romantic and artistic atmosphere. Upon entering the lobby, lovebirds are welcomed by fresh flower bouquets and enveloped in the signature scent of the hotel, a delicate and enchanting fragrance. Head to one of the 37 rooms and suites, decorated in pearly tones, some with views of the Eiffel Tower. For a gourmet break, the gastronomic table Cléo by chef Bruno Aubin delivers refined dishes. Unless you prefer room service…
The sexy touch: A very chic spa in the basement to prolong the magic moment in the counter-current pool, the sauna, or the hot tub.
