I love Paris – no surprise there! I’m typically in Paris a few times a year, for work or pleasure, and thought it was about time to compile a list of some of my favorites. We love to stay in the the gorgeous, charming neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Pres. It’s perfectly situated to be close to the fun restaurants, cafes and shops of the area. I also love the 2nd Arrondisement for the beautiful luxurious apartments and Eiffel Tower views! I’ve also stayed right by the Palais Royale / Jardin de Tuileries and it’s an amazing central location as well. A few must-visits when you’re in Paris:

Where to Stay in Paris
I’ve become somewhat obsessed with the best places to stay in Paris. There’s an overwhelming amount of options, but I’ve narrowed it down to the few I’ve stayed in that I personally LOVE and most importantly – have balconies! For me – having a balcony in Paris is just an essential part of experiencing a stay here.
Residence Charles Floquet – the best view of the Eiffel Tower ever, and most beautiful apartment rental.
K+K Hôtel Cayré Saint Germain des Prés
Best Western Premier Kapital Opera
Holiday Inn Paris – Notre Dame
Hotel des Saints-Peres – Esprit de France
I hope you enjoyed this little taste of Paris, and it can inspire you for a future trip!
