What’s better than a family holiday? There are so many family activities to do in Paris, but there is just one problem: how do you find a hotel that can house everyone?
However, you don’t need to worry because France Hotel Guide has prepared a list of the best hotels for families in Paris.
1) Grey Hotel****
Located at the heart of the 9th arrondissement, the Grey Hotel is close to the Montmartre and Pigalle neighbourhoods. Even though Pigalle is not advised for children, Montmartre is lovely and absolutely suited for families. If you have small children, you should use the funicular to climb to the top of the Montmartre Hill instead of the stairs. 900 meters away from the hotel, you will find the Parc Monceau, where you can take your children to play or enjoy a family picnic.
The hotel in itself offers suites that can host up to four people, with a double bed and a sofa bed that can host two people as well as a private bathroom.
The Grey Hotel also offers triple rooms, with a double bed and a sofa that can accommodate children under twelve years old, as well as a private bathroom.
A child care service is available if you wish to have a date night, but you will be charged extra.
We like: The child care service
We love: the proximity of the Parc Monceau.
Transportation: Metro Place de Clichy (line 2) or Liège (line 13). The Saint-Lazare train station is also only 10 minutes away.
Starting at 180€ a night for a family room.
2) Hotel West End****
The Hotel West End is only 5 minutes away from the Champs-Elysées, in the 8th arrondissement, which means it is the center of one of the richest neighbourhoods in Paris. Additionally, it is only 20 minutes away from the Eiffel Tower and close to the Petit Palais, the Grand Palais, the Place de la Concorde, and the Tuileries Garden. The Tuileries Garden is great for children with its big alleys and fountains, but also for the Fête des Tuileries which occurs between the middle of June and the middle of August, and has many attractions and high sensation rides.
The hotel offers “junior suites”, which include a double bed or two singles, and two other single beds can be added so the room can host up to four people.
