Best Paris Hotels for Families: Where to Stay With Kids of All Ages
By: Jean-Paul and Jessica - Published May 28, 2025, Updated February 7, 2026
Finding the right hotel with kids in Paris takes more homework than you'd expect. Most properties sit inside old Haussmann buildings with fixed floor plans, so family rooms and connecting options are limited and book up fast.
We put this list together based on what actually matters when you're traveling with children: room configurations that work, locations near parks and metro lines, and perks that make daily life easier (free breakfast, pools, snack bars). Every fact below was checked against the hotel's own website in March 2026.
Budget-Friendly (Under €300/Night)
Hôtel Monge · 5th Arrondissement
A 4-star hotel with 30 rooms in the Latin Quarter, between the Jardin des Plantes and Notre-Dame. Interiors by Marie-Agnès Louboutin and Patrice Henry, with original parquet floors, marble fireplaces, and tropical-themed wallpapers from Maison Deyrolle.
The Deluxe Triple rooms come with a double bed and a chaise longue, which is your best option if you need a bit more space. There's an honesty bar where you can pour your own glass of wine or make tea, and a hammam downstairs for unwinding after a long day of walking. Breakfast is available in the mornings.
Place Monge metro (Line 7) and Cardinal Lemoine (Line 10) are both a short walk away. The Jardin des Plantes, with its free park, small zoo, and natural history museum, is five minutes on foot and will save you on those days when the kids need to run.
Rooms are beautifully finished but compact. No extra beds are available, so the triple is your best bet for a family of three. Children of all ages are welcome.

Hôtel Astoria · Astotel · 8th Arrondissement
An 85-room, 3-star hotel near Gare Saint-Lazare, part of the Astotel family of 16 independently owned Parisian hotels. What makes Astotel stand out for families is the list of things you don't pay extra for.
Every room includes a non-alcoholic minibar that gets restocked daily, plus tea and coffee-making facilities. From 2pm to 2am, there's a complimentary soft open bar in the lobby with snacks and drinks (non-alcoholic), and you can use it at any of the 16 Astotel hotels across the city through their Astotour pass. Chromecast is available in the rooms so you can stream content for the kids at bedtime. Family rooms are available.
The hotel sits close to Metro lines 2, 3, 12, 13, and 14, plus RER A and E, so you can get almost anywhere in the city without changing trains. The Champs-Élysées and Grands Magasins are a short walk or quick ride away.
Breakfast buffet is available at a set rate (cheaper if you book in advance). Astotel properties also offer gym access at their 123 Sébastopol and 34B locations, with a sauna at 34B.

Les Dames du Panthéon · 5th Arrondissement
A 4-star hotel with 35 rooms and two suites right on the Place du Panthéon. Each floor is designed around the life of a famous woman: Édith Piaf on the second, George Sand on the third, Juliette Gréco on the fourth, and Marguerite Duras on the top floor with panoramic views of Notre-Dame and Montmartre.
The family rooms (36 sqm) combine a Classic Room with a Superior Room facing the Panthéon, with space for up to four people and two separate bathrooms. Free baby cots are available on request when you book directly. Breakfast is a buffet served in a vaulted stone cellar, with pastries, cheese, ham, scrambled eggs, and bacon.
The Jardin du Luxembourg is a short walk for morning jogs or afternoon playground sessions. Rue Mouffetard, one of the city's oldest market streets, is nearby for snacks and people-watching.
No spa or pool here, but the location and the character of the rooms more than make up for it. Room service runs from 7pm to 11pm.

Mid-Range (€300 to €600/Night)
Hôtel Le Six · 6th Arrondissement
A 4-star hotel with 41 rooms in the Montparnasse-Luxembourg area, a two-minute walk from Notre-Dame-des-Champs metro (Line 12). Sitting between the Luxembourg Gardens and Boulevard Montparnasse, this is one of the quieter, more residential pockets of the Left Bank.
Connecting rooms are available in several combinations (Classic and Superior, Superior and Deluxe, or Deluxe and Suite) for families of four to seven. The suites have a sofa that converts to a bed for one adult or two children. Every day at 4pm, the hotel sets out a snack for kids. Bathrobes come standard.
There's a spa with a hammam and massage rooms downstairs, plus a bright glass-roofed lounge that works well as a spot to regroup mid-afternoon. The hotel's family blog post mentions that their team will recommend age-appropriate activities around Paris, from the Cité des Sciences to the Jardin d'Acclimatation.
The Luxembourg Gardens are your backyard here. Playground, puppet shows, sailboats on the pond. Hard to beat for families with younger kids.

Grands Boulevards Experimental · 2nd/9th Arrondissement
A 4-star, 50-room hotel from the Experimental Group, set inside an 18th-century building accessed through a long passageway off Boulevard Poissonnière. Designed by Dorothée Meilichzon with a mix of revolution-era elegance and pastoral warmth: canopy beds, lime-plastered walls, worn wooden furniture, Rouge Royal marble tables. It earned a Michelin Key in 2024.
This is not a hotel built around families, but it works well for them. The courtyard restaurant under a retractable glass roof is relaxed and unfussy, and the rooftop bar is a great spot for parents after bedtime. Rooms come with tea and coffee facilities, free bottled water, and a minibar.
Grands Boulevards metro is right in front of the entrance. The Louvre and Le Marais are within walking distance. Le Grand Rex cinema, an Art Deco landmark, is steps away.
Rooms range from 15 to 32 sqm. The Parisian Eaves category has high beamed ceilings and rooftop views. Ask the hotel directly about cot availability and connecting room options when you book.

Les Jardins de Mademoiselle · 15th Arrondissement
A 4-star hotel with 35 rooms and 4 suites near Rue du Commerce, a lively neighborhood shopping street in the 15th. The main draw for families is the 200-square-meter spa area with a heated indoor pool, hot tub, cascade, hammam, and gym with Technogym equipment.
The Eiffel Tower Suite and Versailles Suite both have views of the tower, dual-aspect layouts, and lounge areas. Rooms can be configured with king or twin beds depending on what your family needs. Breakfast is served in-room or in the hotel lounge. There's a family package that includes a children's welcome amenity and a Seine river cruise.
Commerce (Line 8) and Félix Faure (Line 8) are the closest metro stations. La Motte-Piquet Grenelle (Lines 6, 8, 10) is also close on foot, giving you strong access to the Eiffel Tower side of the city. The 15th is residential and calm, which can be a welcome change from the busier tourist districts.
This is one of the only mid-range hotels in Paris with a proper pool. If your kids need to swim, it's worth knowing about.

Hôtel Malte · Astotel · 2nd Arrondissement
A 4-star, 64-room Astotel property at 63 Rue de Richelieu, steps from the Louvre in the 2nd arrondissement. You get all the standard Astotel perks here (daily-restocked minibar, open bar from 2pm to 2am, Chromecast, PressReader, Astotour pass), but in a more central location and at a 4-star level.
The standout for families is the duplex rooms: two-floor layouts with beds for four, two bathrooms (one with shower, one with bathtub), a coffee machine, and the option to add a fifth bed. There are also standard family configurations and connecting room possibilities.
The neighborhood is rich for walking: Palais Royal gardens, the covered passages (Passage des Panoramas, Galerie Vivienne), and the Tuileries are all within easy reach. The Louvre is essentially next door.
If you liked the Astotel concept at the Astoria but want something more central and a step up in room quality, the Malte is a strong option.

Luxury (€600+/Night)
Cheval Blanc Paris · 1st Arrondissement
A 5-star LVMH property on the Seine with 72 keys (26 rooms and 46 suites), designed by Peter Marino. This is a different category of hotel, and the family program reflects that.
Le Carrousel is a free, staffed kids' club designed by sailor and environmentalist Maud Fontenoy. It runs daily. The space for ages 4 to 7 is a bright, cocoon-like room with ecological workshops and creative activities. Older children (up to 12) join immersive programs and Parisian adventures.
The Dior Spa has a 30-meter pool, sauna, hammam, and fitness center. There are five restaurants with a combined five Michelin stars, including the three-starred Plénitude (Chef Arnaud Donckele) and the rooftop brasserie Le Tout-Paris. Each room comes with a 24/7 majordome (butler) service.
The hotel sits directly on the Seine. The Louvre, Notre-Dame, the Marais, and Saint-Germain-des-Prés are all walkable.
Le Carrousel is one of the only free, staffed kids' programs at a luxury hotel in Paris. That alone sets Cheval Blanc apart for families at this price point.

Le Bristol Paris · 8th Arrondissement
A Palace-designated hotel at 112 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, open since 1925 and family-owned ever since. Le Bristol has 188 rooms including 100 suites, a 1,200-square-meter interior garden, and a rooftop pool on the 6th floor with views of the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Coeur.

Bonpoint spa treatments are available for children ages 6 to 12, and parents can book the Spa Le Bristol by La Mer.
Babysitting can be arranged through the Guest Relations team. The garden is a rare enclosed green space in central Paris where children can move freely. Note that the kids' play area (Les Amis d'Hippolyte) is temporarily closed during fitness area expansion.

Shangri-La Paris · 16th Arrondissement
A Palace hotel in Prince Roland Bonaparte's former residence, with 100 rooms and suites blending French Rococo style with Asian-inspired touches. The Eiffel Tower views from many rooms are among the best in the city.
The Family Eiffel View Suite (97 sqm) connects a Junior Suite Paris View with an Eiffel View Room: two en-suite bedrooms, a king bed and two twins, sleeping four to six guests. Marble bathrooms throughout with walk-in showers, separate bathtubs, and heated floors. A convertible sofa bed in the Junior Suites can accommodate two children under 12 or one adult.
There's an indoor pool, and a children's meal plan is available for hotel guests. Shangri-La Circle members with families get free breakfast for up to two children under 6 (or 7, depending on the program) at La Bauhinia.
The hotel has three restaurants, including the Michelin-starred Shang Palace. Iéna metro (Line 9) is nearby. Trocadéro (Lines 6 and 9) is a five-minute walk. The Eiffel Tower is across the Pont d'Iéna.
The 16th arrondissement is quiet and residential, which works well with children. You're away from the tourist density but minutes from everything by metro.

Tips for Booking
Book early, book direct. Family rooms and connecting options are limited in most Parisian hotels. Book through the hotel's own website for the best rate guarantee, flexible cancellation, and access to perks that third-party platforms can't offer.
Check elevator and stroller access. Many charming buildings have small or vintage lifts. Ask before you book if you're traveling with a stroller.
Stay near green space. The Luxembourg Gardens (5th/6th), Jardin des Plantes (5th), Champ de Mars (7th), and Parc Monceau (8th/17th) all give kids room to run. At least one park within walking distance will save harder days.
Pack a portable nightlight. Parisian hotel rooms tend to be dark (heavy drapes, interior-facing windows). We travel with a rechargeable cat nightlight that is magnetic, dimmable, and small enough to toss in a carry-on. It comes in a two-pack so it’s easy to stick one in the bathroom for middle-of-the-night trips and another for next to the bed. Worth every gram of luggage space.
Ask about children's pricing. Many Paris hotels charge children 3 and older as adults. Some luxury properties offer complimentary stays for children under 12 in certain room categories. Always check before you book. And always be upfront about the actual number of people staying in the room. Otherwise you risk either having to upgrade on site to a larger room (or book an additional room) or lose your booking completely if they are sold out. Trust us.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best neighborhood in Paris for families?
The 5th (Latin Quarter) and 6th (Saint-Germain) are popular with families for their proximity to the Luxembourg Gardens, walkable streets, and calmer atmosphere. The 1st and 8th work well if you want to be near major sights. The 15th and 16th are residential and quieter, which some families prefer.
Do Paris hotels have family rooms?
Some do, but they're not as common as in other cities. Most Parisian hotels occupy historic buildings where room sizes are fixed. Look for properties that offer triple rooms, family rooms, suites with sofa beds, or connecting rooms. We've noted these for every hotel in this guide.
Which Paris hotels have swimming pools?
Pools are relatively rare outside the luxury tier. In this guide, Les Jardins de Mademoiselle (mid-range), Cheval Blanc, Le Bristol, and Shangri-La all have indoor pools.
Can you get cribs at Paris hotels?
Most family-friendly hotels provide cribs (cots) on request, but availability is limited. Confirm when you book, not at check-in.
