Hotel
Ritz Paris
César Ritz's legendary 1898 hotel on Place Vendôme, with the Ritz Club pool and spa, Bar Vendôme and the École Ritz Escoffier cookery school.
A 3-star hotel on a quiet Marais side street, offering single, family and standard rooms within walking distance of Place des Vosges.
Good to know
The Hôtel Jeanne d'Arc is a modest 3-star on Rue de Jarente, a quiet street in the historic heart of the Marais, a few minutes from Place des Vosges and Rue Saint-Antoine. Rooms range from singles to family rooms, making it a practical choice for solo travellers and families on a moderate budget.
Its main appeal is location: the cobbled streets, independent boutiques and museums of the Marais are on the doorstep, and the Île Saint-Louis and Notre-Dame are an easy walk. Book here for the address and value, and reserve early for weekends.
