Where to Stay in Paris’ Latin Quarter?
The Latin Quarter is my favorite little pocket of Paris. It was the first place I ever stayed with my best friend Lea, back when we were college students. It’s a part of town filled with youthful energy: with lots of restaurants, lots of adorable little bookstores to wander into, boutique hotels ~ plus you’re close to Notre Dame & the gorgeous Luxembourg Gardens. This is a part of town that’s great for first-time visitors to Paris, as well as return visitors. So the question is: where to stay in Paris’ Latin Quarter?

Many scenes from “Emily in Paris” were filmed in the Latin Quarter! Photo: House & Garden.
Why Stay in the Latin Quarter?
- It’s located on the Left Bank (Rive Gauche) of the River Seine, which is a little more lively, fun, & less pretentious than the Right Bank!
- It’s a historic, vibrant neighborhood centered around the Sorbonne University ~ known for its narrow, medieval streets + lively cafes;
- It borders the Luxembourg Gardens & the popular Saint-Germain-des-Pres neighborhood; home to the historic Pantheon.
In a Rush? Here are My Favorite Hotels in the Latin Quarter:
🥇 Best Overall: Hotel Dame des Arts — Rooftop Eiffel Tower Views!
🥈 Best Luxury: Relais Christine — Romantic 5-Star Hotel
🥉 Best Value: Hotel du College de France — Perfect Location on a Budget
Overview of Latin Quarter Hotels
- Paris Art Hotel Quartier Latin ($$) = Charming 3-Star Hotel Set Above a Cafe: This is a great budget option for solo travelers! Rooms are on the small side (typical in Paris), but they’re clean & bright, & the staff are helpful. You’re close to the Jardin des Plantes + Notre Dame ~ & just steps from cafes, bars, & the Metro.
- Hotel du College de France ($$) = Cozy 3-Star Hotel with a Warm, Friendly Feel. Parisians may be known for being slightly haughty: but that’s not the vibe here! This hotel gets many return guests, citing the warm & gracious staff. You’re steps from the Sorbonne, a few blocks from Notre Dame, & right by a Metro station. Their free breakfast is delicious, & the location is pretty much perfect! A great base for exploring. Check prices here.
- Hotel La Lanterne & Spa ($$$) = Fashionable 4-Star Hotel with a Gorgeous Indoor Pool. If you’re looking for a quiet, boutique haven with a subterranean spa to relax in: this is your hotel. It’s close to Notre Dame, which is just a few minutes away; rooms are modern with Italian-style baths ~ some have soaking tubs. Their indoor pool + hammam is the stand-out here. Check prices on Expedia here.
- Hotel Dame des Arts ($$$) = Sophisticated 4-Star Hotel with INCREDIBLE Rooftop Eiffel Tower Views! This is where I’d want to stay in the Latin Quarter! Rooms are modern & elegant, many with Eiffel Tower views. But the rooftop is the superstar here: views are absolutely gorgeous! They have a breakfast buffet, sauna, & near-perfect location that’s walkable to all the main Latin Quarter sights. Check prices here.
- Relais Christine ($$$$) = The Top 5-Star Hotel in the Latin Quarter…with a Garden! It’s tough to find a true 5-star hotel in the Latin Quarter, since it’s filled with boutique hotels ~ but Relais Christine is the hidden gem here. Set on a quiet side street, you’re away from the noise: but just steps from the Seine & shops on popular Rue Dauphine. Rooms are elegant & refined, with Nespresso machines & 24/7 room service. They have a posh bar, & their renowned spa is not to be missed.
