Luxury hotels in Paris
Paris invented the palace hotel and still sets its standard: the Right Bank around Place Vendôme and Faubourg Saint-Honoré holds the city’s most storied addresses, while Saint-Germain answers with intimate Left Bank boutiques where breakfast arrives with the newspapers. Between them sit hundreds of five-star rooms with an Eiffel Tower sightline priced accordingly.
Booking Paris the TripEver way
Parisian rates are famously opaque — city tax tiers, view supplements, and seasonal swings around fashion weeks. TripEver flattens that: wholesale rates compared across our supplier network, every tax and fee itemised before checkout, and a concierge who can chase the two hardest currencies in Paris — dinner reservations and museum time slots.
Paris: what members ask
Right Bank or Left Bank for a luxury stay?
The Right Bank (1st and 8th arrondissements) holds the palace hotels, flagship shopping, and the Louvre. The Left Bank — Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the 7th — is quieter and more residential, with boutique five-stars and café life. First visits usually favour the Right Bank; returners often switch sides.
What is the Paris tourist tax?
Paris charges a nightly taxe de séjour that scales with hotel category — palace-class properties carry the highest tier, charged per adult per night. TripEver includes it in the total shown before you confirm, so there is no surprise line at check-out.
When should I book Paris hotels for the best availability?
For May-June, September-October, and any dates near the fashion weeks, book six to eight weeks ahead — the best suites in small boutiques go first. August is the counter-intuitive value window: many Parisians leave, and five-star availability opens up.
