Home to the Sorbonne and the Panthéon, Paris’s Latin Quarter was traditionally where the intellectuals congregated. Still known for its student population, today’s Latin Quarter is a lively spot of narrow streets lined with cafes, bars and bistros, a number of excellent museums, a botanical garden and a great atmosphere. And if you opt to stay in one of our recommendations for the best hotels in the Latin Quarter you’ll be very well placed to see all the main sights of Paris, and enjoy excellent local nourishment and entertainment of an evening. Straddling the 5th and 6th Arrondissements our selection of hotels here ranges from the cheerful and traditional to the elegant and beautiful.
For a Paris Weekend
- Les Dames du Pantheon has a fantastic position overlooking the Panthéon. There are just 35 rooms, all chicly decorated in neutral colours, but with some some engaging artwork. This is the perfect hotel for a Paris weekend.
- The name might sound gimmicky, but the Hotel le Petit Paris evokes a ‘little Paris’ in the way its interiors reference many of the French eras. Expect colour as well as eclectic details. The location is superb, moments from the Jardin de Luxembourg and a few stops on the Metro from all the main sights.
For a boutique hotel
- For spectacular views and a designer interior one of the best hotels in the Latin Quarter has to be the Notre Dame Hotel. It’s got stunning views over one of Paris's most famous landmarks, coupled with retro-modern interiors by Christian Lacroix.
- The Villa d'Estrees is another modern boutique choice, with just ten, elegant bedrooms decorated in a French Empire style. This is also one of the best hotels in the Latin Quarter for families - especially for families who appreciate a little style.
For traditional style
- If you’re looking for something more traditional one of the best hotels in the Latin Quarter might be the Hotel d'Aubusson, a period feeling 17th century property arranged around a large courtyard. Smart and well run, this 50 room hotel is full of character, from the solid oak porte-cochere dating back to the 1600s to the Grand Salon.
- Another more traditional choice is Relais Christine is an elegant hotel, not far from the banks of the Seine, with lovely gardens and an excellent buffet breakfast. There are 51 rooms and the decor varies from modern elegance to more traditional luxury.
