The best family-friendly hotels in Paris

Family option? Get the deluxe room if you can, but all rooms offer a free cot, too.

There's a spa, an infinity pool, a sauna, hammam and a snow shower (yes, really). And if you’ve got the kids in tow, Cheval Blanc offers a stunning on-site crèche Le Carrousel, a treasure hunt to book onto, and a Dior collection for the very little ones of very posh linen, toys and the likes.

Price: Rooms start at €1956 per night

Family option? The family junior suite with a terrace and garden view. 

Madame Rêve is one of the most hyped hotels in Paris right now, and it’s not hard to see why – this a place that’ll make you feel ten times cooler just by walking through the front door. It’s classy. It’s refined. It has dimly lit, lightly perfumed corridors that feel like a catwalk and warm wood hugging every wall.

Time Out tip

The decor is 18th-century, the rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, and the gourmet French restaurant has two Michelin stars and head chef Alain Ducasse. Surprisingly, the Place de la Concorde is only a five-minute walk away, and the Louvre is just 600 metres from the hotel. Le Meurice takes luxury to a whole new level and we’re here for it.
