in short
- The first truth: There are no fully kosher hotels in Paris. There are hotels that serve a kosher breakfast under the supervision of the Paris Court of Justice.
- The central area: The Opera District (9th), where the kosher restaurants and synagogues are also concentrated.
- Alternatives: The Jewish Marais district (districts 3 and 4), and the 8th district near the Chabad House on the Champs-Elysees.
- For Sabbath keepers: Some hotels in the 9th arrondissement offer a mechanical key and a Shabbat plate. It's worth requesting in advance when booking.
- Position before stars: The distance from the synagogue and restaurants is more important than the hotel's rating, especially on Shabbat when walking.
Looking for a kosher hotel in Paris? Let's get it straight: There are no hotels in Paris that are completely kosher, but there are several hotels (such as Hotel Aida Opera and Touring) in the 9th arrondissement that serve a kosher breakfast under the supervision of the Paris Beit Din, and offer convenient solutions for Shabbat-observants such as mechanical keys and Shabbat plates. The most recommended areas for accommodation for observant Jews are the Opera district (9th arrondissement) , the Marais (Jewish) district , and the 8th arrondissement area near the Chabad House on the Champs-Elysées.
As in the case of searching for kosher restaurants in Paris , there are quite a few people interested in finding a kosher hotel so they can spend their trip to the City of Lights with peace of mind. That's why I prepared this article for you.

There are a number of hotels in Paris that serve a full kosher breakfast. However, unlike hotels in our country, “breakfast” is a fairly limited affair (don’t expect a lavish Israeli buffet), and it may be worth it to buy kosher groceries at the supermarket and cater for yourself instead of paying for a hotel breakfast. For the kosher traveler, the ideal location is probably the 9th arrondissement, the Marais (3rd and 4th arrondissements) or their surroundings, which are far enough away from the very expensive center to be relatively affordable, and close enough to synagogues like “La Victoire” and a variety of places to eat.
How to check reviews correctly?
Every hotel has positive and negative reviews, some relevant and some not. Always look at the average, and also at expectations. It is highly recommended to look at “Guest Photos” online to get an impression of what the hotel, and the room you are about to book, really look like, without the marketing department’s Photoshop.
This article is about hotels, but let me first recommend an apartment that is perfect for religious people. It is a two-story apartment (a large living room with a kitchen upstairs and a bedroom downstairs), located in the heart of the 17th arrondissement, where a sizable Jewish community lives. As a result, you will find a number of kosher shops and restaurants within walking distance (and the Chabad House, located on the Champs-Elysees, can also be reached on foot).
The apartment is within walking distance of Parc Monceau and the metro, where line 2 passes, so you can get to Montmartre and the Champs Elysees very quickly.
Since it is on the ground floor and does not have an elevator or electric gate, there is no fear of desecrating the Sabbath when opening or closing the entrance gate to the building. In short, if you are kosher-observing and have come with a family, you probably won't find a more convenient place.
Kosher hotels in Paris (Opera Quarter area)

Hôtel Aida Opéra
A three-star kosher hotel in Paris, not far from the Louvre. It serves a strictly kosher breakfast supervised by the Paris Court of Justice. The rooms are air-conditioned and include an electric kettle, and Shabbat keys and a kettle can be provided for the room.

Touring Hotel
The Touring Paris Hotel is a classic. It doesn’t have a standalone restaurant, but it does serve a decent kosher breakfast. There are plenty of kosher restaurants nearby. The hotel can reportedly provide a Shabbat platter and help with the local community’s intentions. The only downside: If you’re planning to eat Friday dinner at a Chabad house, it’s more than 5km each way, so it’s best to rely on the synagogues and restaurants in the 9th arrondissement.
