Hotels in Montmartre

"Montmartre" is a name that's often abused or misused. We've limited our hotel suggestions to the core of "Village Montmartre" in the 18th arrondissement.

Hotel Le Terrass", Montmartre

ABOVE: The panoramic roof terrace at Le Terrass", a four-star hotel near the restaurants, cafés, and shops of central Montmartre.


Montmartre, to most tourists, is a place to play--but not to stay. And that's a shame, for several reasons:

  • The neighborhood of Amelie is especially charming after daytrippers have climbed onto their tour buses and left the former village's winding, hilly streets to residents and hotel guests.

  • For Eurostar and other train passengers arriving at the Gare de Nord, Montmartre is within easy walking distance or a couple of Métro stops away. It's also handy to Charles de Gaulle Airport via RER Line B.

  • Montmartre is served by several different Métro lines. For example, you can board line 4 at Château Rouge and get off about 15 minutes later at Cité (Nôtre-Dame Cathedral) or St-Michel (Latin Quarter), or you can hop on line 2 at Anvers or Pigalle for a quick trip to the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysée.

Hotel 29 Lepic, MontmartreIn our opinion, the question isn't whether to stay in Montmartre, but where to stay. For a true Montmartre experience, you don't want to be on a traffic-jammed boulevard or a neighborhood that merely borders on Montmartre. And unless you're in Paris with a peepshow tour, you'll probably want to avoid a hotel amid the fleshpots of Pigalle.

Le Relais Montmartre signTo help you avoid disappointment, we've put together a collection of hotels represented by our affiliate hotel partner, Booking.com, which offers a "lowest available rates" guarantee.

All of these hotels are located on pleasant and attractive streets within Montmartre--primarily on the southern side of the Butte, or hill, which offers easy access to the city center by Métro  (or even on foot if you enjoy walking, as we do).

These aren't the only places to stay in Montmartre, but--if you choose from our listings--you can be sure that your hotel won't be on a major avenue, next to a strip joint, or overrun by mass-market tour groups. (The review scores, which are updated in real time, will also help you zero in on the most worthy hotels in each category.)

Please note:

  • Not all Paris hotels are air-conditioned, especially in the one-, two-, and (often) three-star categories. If you're visiting in the summer and don't like heat, check whether a hotel has air conditioning before you book.

  • The hotel listings below have guest-rating scores that are drawn in real time from Booking.com's database.

Le Chat Noir Design Hotel

Hotel Le Chat Noir ****
The "Black Cat" is at the foot of Montmartre's Butte, which is both good and bad: Most sights within the neighborhood require a walk uphill, and the Boulevard de Clichy may seem tacky if you aren't used to big cities. (On the brighter side, it's only a short walk to the Moulin Rouge, and the Blanche Métro station is just a few meters away.)

The hotel itself is stylish, with a modern decor and 39 well-equipped single, double, twin, and triple rooms. Wi-Fi is free, and you can order breakfast downstairs or have it delivered to your room.

It's also a very stylish hotel, with a unique decor that features giant images of famous 19th and 20th Century couples. Pets are welcome, and the 24 rooms have free Wi-Fi.
