The 11th arrondissement in Paris, located not far from the Bastille, is considered a bit further from the center and therefore a bit cheaper. However, the truth is that it is a cool district that connoisseurs (including your faithful servant) really enjoy staying in.
First, the parts close to Bastille Square allow you to get there very easily. Marais District And stroll around it. Also, the Bastille area and trendy Oberkampf Street contain endless restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues, so if you're a party animal - this is the area to live in.
In the list below, we have compiled the hotels we recommend in the district, arranged by star rating and spanning the entire area: from Place de la Bastille in the south, through Oberkampf and Poliere Maricourt in the center, to Saint-Ambroise and Faubourg Saint-Antoine in the east.
My personal recommendation
Which accommodation is right for you?
Three short questions, and I'll choose for you from my recommendations the places that are suitable for the vacation you're planning.
Just a moment, I'll go through my recommendations and look for what suits you...
🏆 Francophile's Top Choices (AM;LC)
The General Hotel
A boutique hotel with spectacular modern design, attention to detail, and an excellent breakfast.
Moxy Paris Bastille
Young, cool and colorful. A Marriott hotel in a perfect location between Bastille and the Marais.
Hotel Paris Voltaire
A 2-star hotel with an elevator (rare!), clean, cheap and very close to the Marais and Place de la Voise.
A great reason to live in the 11th arrondissement is Aligre Market (Marché d'Aligre), my favorite market in Paris. It's a cheap and authentic food market that will fill your breakfast or brunch corner perfectly.
Five-star hotels in the 11th arrondissement
Bréguet House
- Heated pool, sauna and hammam in the basement
- Connecting rooms and a private house with a garden
- The bathrooms are small for the price.
A former industrial building on 8 rue Bréguet that has been converted into a boutique hotel with around fifty rooms. On the ground floor, the restaurant sits under a large glass roof, alongside a terrace and a living plant wall, and in the basement there is a heated pool, sauna, hammam and gym. There are also connecting rooms for families, rooms with a private terrace and an entire three-bedroom house with its own garden. Bréguet-Sabin station is about a five-minute walk away, and from there another ten minutes toBastille Square. Note that the bathrooms are modest for the price, and some have high-sided bathtubs. I recommend upgrading to a junior suite if there are three of you, as the pull-out sofa there is really comfortable and not a compromise.
Hôtel Paris Bastille Boutet – MGallery
- Pool heated to 29 degrees under a glass roof
- Eight suites with a terrace over the rooftops of Paris
- The spa area is small and fills up quickly.
Maison Boutet was built in 1926 as a trading house for precious woods, in the 1940s it was converted into a chocolate factory, and today it is a hotel with eighty rooms and suites on Rue Faidherbe. The furniture was designed by students of the École Boulle, and the Codage Spa has a pool heated to 29 degrees under a glass roof, with blue and white enamel tiles, a sauna, hammam and a gym. Eight suites enjoy a green terrace with a view of the rooftops. However, the relaxation area is small, one sauna and one hammam cabin, and with more than five people in the pool it is already crowded. I recommend going down to the spa as soon as it opens at 7 am, and also dedicating one morning to a visit toMarais District Which starts a few minutes away.
Recommended four-star hotels
Hotel Le Mareuil
- Sauna, hammam and 24-hour gym
- Free coffee and water in the lobby all day
- The rooms are small
Fifty-four rooms on Rue de Malte, a quiet street between Place de la République and Oberkampf. Downstairs there is a sauna, hammam and a 24-hour gym, free coffee and water in the lobby all day, and breakfast (an organic buffet) can be eaten in the living room or ordered to your room. The rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, and Oberkampf station is about two hundred and sixty meters away with lines 5 and 9. Note that the rooms are small, even by Parisian standards. I recommend investing in a Deluxe room, as the difference in square meters is very noticeable if you stay more than three nights.
Crowne Plaza Republique
- Huge and quiet inner courtyard
- Five metro lines under the square
- Large and not intimate business hotel
An 1866 Ottoman building that was converted into a hotel in 1890, stands right on the Republic Square and protected as a historical site. The hotel was completely renovated in 2019, has 328 rooms and a 24-hour gym, and inside is a 1,200-square-meter courtyard, one of the largest in central Paris, which in the summer becomes a terrace restaurant. Five metro lines run under the square, so you can get to almost anywhere without changing. Note that this is the square where the French left and our cousins like to demonstrate, so on the day of a demonstration it is advisable not to go near it. I recommend asking for a room facing the courtyard rather than the square, because it is completely quiet there.
The General Hotel
- Sauna, gym and massages
- Breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice
- There is no parking at the hotel.
Just 46 rooms on Rue Rampon, designed by Jean-Philippe Nuel in black and white with street artist photographs. Breakfast includes a freshly squeezed orange juice machine, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, L'Occitane products in the bathrooms, and downstairs there is an eight-person sauna and a gym with a treadmill, rowing machine and punching bag. Some rooms have a small balcony. Note that there is no parking here, and the nearest car park is the Alhambra on Rue de Malte. I recommend requesting a room with a balcony when booking, as they are taken first.
The Marais Gardens
- Very large private garden courtyard
- Spa, sauna and private cinema
- The rooms are very different from each other.
Behind a modest façade on Rue Amelot are seven historic buildings surrounding a private courtyard garden, one of the largest in Paris, one of which was once Gustave Eiffel's workshop. The furnishings combine Art Deco with Philippe Starck, some rooms have a kitchenette, and there is a spa, sauna and private cinema for eight people. Saint-Sébastien-Froissart station on line 8 is 120 metres away, and from there it is a 10-minute walk toVosges Square. Please note that the rooms are very different from each other, and that those facing the courtyard can be noisy in the evenings when the restaurant is full. I recommend requesting a room in the Eiffel building.
Hotel Fabric
- Private hammam for forty-five minutes per guest
- A trust-based bar with coffee and desserts all day
- Some of the rooms are small
Former textile factory on Rue de la Folie-Méricourt, four floors, thirty-three rooms, exposed brick walls and huge workshop windows. There is a bar on a trust basis in the lobby, a tea time with madeleines, and an organic buffet breakfast. There is a hammam in the basement for private bookings and also a gym. Saint-Ambroise station is about three hundred and fifty meters away. Note that some of the rooms are small even by Parisian standards, and the neighboring wine cellar can be heard in the evenings. I recommend asking for the duplex on the top floor, which is the biggest difference between price and space here. It is worth checking in advance Attractions in the 11th arrondissement.
Hotel Les Deux Giraffes
- An internal garden courtyard that most rooms face
- Two metro stations within a three-minute walk
- The bathrooms are small and the shower splashes.
Thirty-four rooms in a 19th-century furniture factory, located not on the street but in Passage Beslay. At the heart of the hotel is a garden courtyard with maple trees, and most rooms face it, so the nights are really quiet. Several places on the entrance floor open directly onto the garden terrace. There is a bar overlooking the patio, a gym with rowing machines, a restaurant with an open kitchen, and massages on request. The Parmentier (line 3) and Saint-Ambroise (line 9) stations are each three minutes away, and breakfast is served between 7 and 10:30. Note that the bathrooms are small and the shower tends to splash on the floor. I recommend asking for a room on a low floor with access to the garden, as that is exactly what makes this place special.
New Hotel Le Voltaire
- Line 9 around the corner and bus 69 in two minutes
- Children under three years old sleep and eat for free.
- The rooms are small for a long stay.
Forty-seven rooms on Rue Pétion, a quiet side street off Boulevard Voltaire. Voltaire stop on line 9 is just around the corner, but the real charm here is the 69 bus stop a two-minute walk away, the line that crosses Paris via the Marais, the Louvre and the Orsay to the Eiffel Tower, replacing all Metro ride On a city tour. Room service is based on the menu of the neighboring restaurant Le Bec Salé. Children under three eat free and children between three and eleven eat half price, and pets are welcome. Please note that the rooms are small and are more suitable for three or four nights than a week.
Le Petit Beaumarchais Hotel & Spa
- Private saltwater floating pool under stone arches
- Three-minute walk to Bastille and Place de la Voise
- The rooms are small, about nineteen meters in standard.
Thirty-seven rooms on Boulevard Beaumarchais, in a hotel formerly known as the Hôtel Original and renamed after renovation. You descend the stairs to a vaulted stone basement and discover a floatarium, a buoyancy pool with a high salt concentration inspired by the Dead Sea, alongside a sauna and a treatment room. Each stay gets fifty minutes of private use of the complex, between ten in the morning and eight-thirty in the evening, and it is highly recommended to book in advance. The pastries for breakfast are provided by a neighborhood baker named Johan. Bastille station is one hundred and fifty meters away, and a three-minute walk also takes you to the Place de la Vezelay.Picasso Museum. Note that the rooms are small, there is no parking and pets are not allowed. I recommend asking for a room facing the courtyard, as the boulevard itself is busy.
LE CLARK HOTEL
- Metro right in front of the door
- Small spa with hammam, sauna and gym
- To the sixth floor, take the stairs.
Forty-four rooms on Boulevard du Temple, at the northern end of the Marais and between Place de la République and the Cirque d'Hiver Bouglione, built in 1852. The hotel is named after Edith Clark, a parachutist who jumped and landed on the roof of the circus, and the entire interior design plays with the world of the circus without falling into kitsch. There is a small spa here with a hammam, sauna and gym, two accessible rooms, and a spacious lobby where it is pleasant to sit.Center Pompidou Separated by about fifteen minutes on foot. Note that the rooms on the sixth floor are only accessible by stairs from the fifth floor, and that the breakfast is relatively basic for a four-star hotel. I recommend asking for a room with a Parisian balcony, as the extra cost is small and the view is worth it.
Hotel L'Antoine
- Each floor was individually designed by Christian Lacroix.
- 24-hour gym and sauna
- The rooms and breakfast room are cramped.
The hotel is located on Rue de Charonne, on the grounds of a seventeenth-century monastery, in the heart of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, which for generations was Carpenters and Furniture Quarter of Paris. Christian Lacroix designed each of the five floors here individually: the first is made of raw, recycled materials, the second is draped in colorful velvet and thick carpets, and the top nods to the 1950s of the legendary Balajo club on nearby Rue Lap. There is a 24-hour gym and a sauna available for private use. Note that the rooms are small. I recommend asking for a room on a high floor facing the courtyard, as the lower floors absorb street noise.
Three-star hotels in the 11th arrondissement (affordable options)
Oh la la! Hotel Bar Paris Bastille
- Enter through a secret door behind a library
- Triple glazing that neutralizes the noise of the square
- There is no elevator, and six floors of spiral staircases.
The hotel opened in 2019 on Rue de la Roquette, and getting to your room is half the experience: you enter a cocktail bar that doubles as a reception desk, push through a library that hides a door, and climb a spiral staircase to six floors with just sixteen rooms. The beds are on raised wooden platforms, some rooms look directly at the July Column in the square, while others face the quiet Passage du Cheval Blanc, and the triple glazing does its job. Note that there is no elevator at all, so the place is less suitable for those who have difficulty with stairs or are coming with heavy luggage. I recommend taking a triple room if there are three of you, as it takes up the entire width of the building.
Hôtel La Nouvelle République & Hammam
- Hammam and treatment room in a three-star hotel
- Free coffee, tea and water in the lobby all day
- The elevator is tiny and the dining room fills up in the morning.
Thirty rooms spread over 1,000 square meters on Rue Moret, a quiet street off Oberkampf. It's one of the few places in this ranking to offer a hammam and treatment room, and the rooms are equipped with triple glazing, hypoallergenic mattresses, and some have heated bathroom floors and a private terrace. Free coffee, tea and water are available in the lobby all day long. Metro lines 2, 3 and 11 are a few minutes away, and if you just walk down Rue Oberkampf you'll be in the Marais in about 15 minutes. Note that the elevator is tiny and only fits two people with one suitcase. I recommend going down for breakfast before 8, as it's hard to find a table after that.
Hotel Marais de Launay
- Late eighteenth-century breakfast room
- Shemen Ver station on line 8, direct to the opera and its dog
- The walls are thin and the rooms are small.
Thirty-five rooms on Rue Amelot, a quiet side street parallel to the bustling Boulevard Beaumarchais. My favorite detail here is the breakfast room, preserved from the late eighteenth century, and next to it a small living room with a library and an interior courtyard to sit in. Chemin Vert station is about a hundred and fifty meters from the door, and line 8 from it goes directly toOpéra Garnier And its large dogs, making the hotel a particularly convenient base for a day of shopping. It's a six-minute walk to Place de la Bastille and less than ten to Place de Vosges. Be aware that the rooms are small and the soundproofing between rooms is not perfect. I recommend asking for a superior room facing the courtyard, as the extra space is small and the quiet is immediately noticeable.
Hôtel des Métallos
- Affordable price for a central location between four areas
- Independent hotel with eco-friendly materials and furnishings
- The rooms are very small and there is no kettle in the room.
Thirty-one rooms, one of which is accessible, on Rue de la Folie-Méricourt. The name commemorates the metallurgists, the metalworkers who were the professional and political power of the 11th arrondissement in the 19th century, and it is precisely this history that explains why this area looks different from the rest of Paris. The hotel is independent, built with environmentally friendly materials, and has a lounge on the ground floor where it is pleasant to work. Oberkampf station is about three hundred meters away, and around it is a busy area Coffee shops and a bistro. Please note that the rooms are very small, some do not even have a closet, and that there is no coffee and tea set in the room.
Le 20 Prieuré Hôtel
- Five metro lines within a radius of less than half a kilometer
- Nespresso and Cosmic Tea are available throughout the day.
- Air conditioning only in superior rooms
Thirty-two rooms in a Haussmannian building on Rue du Grand Prieuré, redesigned in warm shades of brown, orange and tuff, with thick carpets, floor-to-ceiling windows and headboards that are large photographs of Paris. Oberkampf station is 270 metres away with two lines, and Place de la République is 440 metres away with five more lines, so almost any destination in the city is accessible without changing. Canal Saint-Martin A few minutes walk away. Please note that air conditioning is only available in the superior rooms. I recommend requesting a room facing the courtyard.
Two-star hotels in the 11th arrondissement
Hotel Bastille Secret
- Air conditioning and kettle in the room, rare in this rating
- Gare de Lyon within walking distance
- Night street, and on weekends you hear it
Eighteen rooms on Rue de la Roquette, the same street as Oh la la but a few numbers up. This is a compact, straightforward hotel that doesn't pretend to be more than it is, yet each room has air conditioning, a kettle with coffee and tea, and a safe, and some rooms also have a small balcony. There is a lobby bar on the ground floor and a continental breakfast. Bastille station is a few minutes away, Bergerac is a ten-minute walk, and Gare de Lyon train station is eight hundred meters away, making it particularly convenient for those continuing on from there to the south of France. To Carnival Museum About fifteen minutes on foot. Note that La Roquette Street is an entertainment street, and that on weekends it gets crowded. I recommend asking for a room on a high floor facing the courtyard.
