5 Affordable Boutique Hotels in Paris That Fit Any Style

Hotel Verneuil is located in the trendy and artsy Saint Germain district of Paris. It’s just three blocks from the Seine and within walking distance of the Louvre. Perfectly situated, the Hotel Verneuil is on a very small cobblestone street and is in a converted 17th-century building, which used to be a merchant house for traders and fishermen of the Seine.

Most of the hotel has maintained its original charm, including the breakfast nook in the basement that was discovered when the hotel was trying to install an elevator. Rooms are tiny, so if you are looking for a lot of space, this one isn’t for you, but if you are looking for true Parisian style, this one epitomizes it. Bonus: the spiral staircase going up to the fifth floor makes for a cool photo op.

This is the most expensive hotel in the group, but has quite a few details that make it worth the stay. Hotel du Petit Moulin, which is located in the trendy Haut Marais neighborhood, was the first hotel designed by famed French designer Christian Lacroix. The building originally housed Paris’s first bakery and was a favorite of Les Miserables author Victor Hugo. It still maintains its original painted glass, which is a must for history buffs. While there are only 17 rooms in this small and exclusive hotel, each one is completely different from the next.

This spot plays on the fact that Paris is known to be the City of Love with its name and love-themed decor — it’s definitely one for those romantic trips.

True to the area, Hotel Amour has a decidedly bohemian vibe with 24 rooms that feature furniture and accents from flea markets. If you are interested in a truly eclectic Parisian experience, this one is for you, but if you’re not into a little raciness, skip it — the artwork is modern and contains nudity.
