Top 7 best hotels in Paris

Paris is the City of Light, the capital of fashion and an open-air museum! The capital also perfectly nurtures the cult of Parisian elegance and romance. This mystique, combined with other riches, has won it the favour of international tourists. Travellers, the good news is that the hotel offer is as abundant as the demand! There’s something to suit every taste and, better still, every budget.

Let’s face it, luxury and affluence go hand in hand, and the capital is an expensive destination. You’ll be no exception, even for a weekend. The number of hotels available is almost unrealistic, but so are the prices.

It’s hard to make the right choice in such a rush, you might say… Particularly when some of the less charming or disreputable establishments match the prices of top-of-the-range accommodation!

For all these reasons and many more, the Navaway editorial team has put together a list of the 7 best places to stay in Paris. From the best services to the best-kept gems, we’ve left nothing to chance!
