Hôtel Dame des Arts

Where to Stay in Paris: The Best Affordable Hotels

"Located on the Left Bank a block from the Seine and minutes from Notre Dame, this 109-room newcomer pairs bright, textured Raphael Navot–designed rooms with private balconies and a ninth-floor rooftop bar that offers unobstructed views of the Eiffel Tower. The cedar-scented lobby and burnt-wood floors create a refined atmosphere, and amenities include a photogenic wooden gym, a sauna, and suites with generous balconies and tower views; smaller rooms are airy but can feel tight, making them best suited to solo travelers. Starting rates are around $278." - Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd Sophie Dodd is a travel, wine and lifestyle writer.  Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
