The 72-room Hotel Royal Saint-Honore is a mid-range property conveniently situated on the prestigious shopping street it takes its name from, Rue Saint-Honore, and a short walk away from several top sights such as the Louvre Museum. The rooms (and two-room Suites) are modestly elegant and have flat-screen TVs, minibars, small desks, and marble bathrooms. There's a decent French restaurant with red walls and mahogany furniture, as well as a breakfast room. Meetings facilities and a business corner round out the amenities here, and though Wi-Fi is free, high-speed Internet costs extra. It's one of the best-priced options in this incredibly popular area, along with the Hotel Britannique.

The Hotel Britannique is a charming, mid-range boutique hotel with a classic English decor in the heart of Paris. Its enviable location in the 1st arrondissement is within walking distance of fantastic dining options, along with major attractions like the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral. Its 39 rooms, draped in red, have a decidedly romantic vibe. There aren't many features to speak of at this small hotel, but it's a good value given its quaint atmosphere and location. Guests can opt for the breakfast buffet for a fee. Rates tend to be a little cheaper around the corner at the more contemporary Hotel Louvre Rivoli, but it lacks Hotel Britannique's homey appeal.

The luxury Park Hyatt Paris - Vendome is a property so regal some could argue it's a bit chilly. But there's no debating its excellent location on Paris's Right Bank, a short walk from the Place Vendome, the Louvre, and the Paris Opera. Its 155 guest rooms are modern and elegant and some have balconies. Features include eight meeting rooms, a 24-hour business center, and free Wi-Fi along with four restaurants, a bar, a fitness center, and a full-service spa. Travelers could also compare rates and amenities with the nearby Mandarin Oriental Paris, a luxury property with a pool and a cake shop.

Located directly behind the Louvre, the luxury Grand Hotel du Palais Royal has an excellent location. The property evokes elegant Parisian charm throughout, from its 18th-century facade to its 68 rooms and suites. All accommodations feature modern amenities and tasteful -- if buttoned-up -- decor. The on-site restaurant serves all meals, and the adjacent bar pours drinks throughout the day. The property also has a small spa, fitness center, and a tiny playroom for kids, but the real standout amenity is the gorgeous mosaic-tiled hamman (access is free). All in all, the Grand Hotel is an excellent option for travelers who anticipate spending a good deal of time at the Louvre or other central Paris attractions. Another luxury option in the area to consider could be Le Meurice, which offers aMichelin-starred restaurant.

The Hotel Therese is an upper-middle-range boutique hotel with charming, design-conscious decor that combines contemporary, vintage, and upcycled accents. There's a stylish lobby and library lounge and a stone-walled breakfast room, but few other extra property features. Its 40 individually rooms vary in size from tiny entry-level rooms to more spacious upgraded rooms, but all have nice amenities like flat-screen TVs with bluetooth, generously stocked minibars, free Wi-Fi, and bathrobes. Hotel Therese offers breakfast for an extra fee, a free afternoon snack, and room service into the evening. A major draw here, though, is the location in the heart of Paris, just a 10-minute walk from the Louvre. Travelers may want to compare rates with the nearby Hotel Lumen Paris Louvre, which adds a restaurant and bar.

Situated next to Chanel's flagship store, which was once home to the iconic designer herself, Castille Paris is an elegant luxury hotel that drips with chic Parisian style. Its 108 rooms and suites are beautifully designed with decor that varies from contemporary to classic French style, though some of the units are quite small.There’s an Italian restaurant on-site with a beautiful outdoor courtyard, as well as a tea parlor and bar serving light meals and drinks. Guests might want to skip the breakfast since it’s pricey and gets lackluster reviews. The hotel also has a stylish business area and small fitness room, but no spa. Travelers might want to compare rates with the Champs Elysees Plaza Hotel, a similar luxury property that offers a tasty breakfast.

The mid-range Louvre Piemont Hotel has a convenient location in the mix of Paris’ most popular attractions like the Louvre and Palais Royal. This hotel has few on-site amenities other than morning breakfast for a fee and free Wi-Fi. Twenty guests rooms vary in terms of contemporary and dated decor but are clean and include flat-screen TVs, free stocked mini-fridges, and air-conditioning. Volney Opera Hotel is a good nearby alternative property with a modern design and a more extensive breakfast selection that includes hot items. 

In a location that's convenient for both tourists and business travelers, the four-star Hotel Westminster provides luxury accommodations and a level of service comparable to its five-star neighbors, at lower rates. The historic hotel, with 80 air-conditioned guest rooms and 22 suites, is within walking distance to the Opera and the Place Vendome, the Place de la Concorde, the Louvre, and the Tuileries Gardens. Rooms are classically elegant and borrow design elements from the Louis XV and Regency periods. The hotel houses a Michelin one-star restaurant, Le Celadon, and the popular wood-paneled Duke's Bar, which offers live music. It also has a rooftop spa and small fitness center.

The 83-room Melia Vendome - Paris is an upscale hotel that's ideal for serious shoppers in Paris' posh 1st Arrondissement. Saint Honore Street, home to Chanel and Hermes, is a five-minute walk from the hotel's front doors. Elegant guest rooms are air-conditioned and a bit dark, but can include iPod docking stations and fireplaces, plus ample room for storing shopping bags. The hotel serves a breakfast buffet for a fee, then cocktails and light meals throughout the rest of the day at Le Vendome Bar. Extra features include free Wi-Fi, room service, and a concierge desk. La Maison Favart is another upscale option in the neighborhood, with the added bonus of a fitness center and sauna. 

The upscale Hôtel Saint-Marc is a stylish, 26-room boutique property in the Bourse business district within Paris’s 1st and 2nd Arrondissements. Its location near banks and offices attracts mostly corporate travelers, but tourists love its Art Deco-inspired interiors and proximity to both the Palais-Royal and the Louvre. Rooms feature the funky color combos and metallic materials characteristic of the 1930s aesthetic, and come with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and Hermes toiletries. Amenities are impressive for a small hotel in the city, including free afternoon refreshments, a solid buffet breakfast (for extra fees), and two lounging areas, as well as a pool and spa. For lower rates, the Hotel Britannique nearby has lower rates and a more traditional vibe, but fewer features.
