Want to zip across the pond in the next couple of weeks? Now is the perfect time to wander the sidewalks of Paris, with winter prices super-low. We’ve selected top hotel bargains that will save you a bundle. Below is the round-up of the crème de la crème of hotel offers in the City of Lights, suitable for every budget. Rates start at just $80/night for an overnight in chic Montmartre!
Hotel Concorde Saint-Lazare for $258 a night
Surrounded by the city’s best shopping and theaters, this discreet enclave of luxury hides inside a restored 19th-century building. Frommer’s writes, “Across from the St-Lazare rail station, this hotel — the area's best — first greeted visitors flocking to the Universal Exposition of 1889.” Guestrooms feature a classic Parisian style and a broad range of four-star perks. As with most historic Paris hotels, all this luxury comes at a daunting standard price of $415/night. But through Hotels.com, an overnight here sells for just $258!
Stay at Best Western Lorette Opera: $180 a night
This Theater District property may belong to a nondescript hotel chain but the location is an absolute winner, a stone’s throw from Montmartre. Units come with a sleek look and the expected three-star amenities. The New York Times writes, “The Hôtel Best Western Lorette Opera ... is swathed in shades of beige, gray and white. Some of the 84 rooms overlook the gardens of the Foundation Thiers.” Orbitz makes a night spent here a real steal: rates now start at only $180!
Cozy Montmartre overnight for only $80
If you’re visiting Paris on a shoestring, this Orbitz special is undoubtedly your best bet. It gets you an unbeatable overnight at the heart of chic Montmartre! While there are no trimmings or facilities at this economy-class hotel, guests are treated to cozy accommodations in its series of colorful guestrooms, each one equipped with a private bathroom. It may be low on creature comforts, but the location, a hop and a skip from Sacré Coeur, is matchless. Hotels.com offers rates here for $80/night!
