How to choose the right 4-star hotel in Paris?

Paris, the City of Light, is the stuff of dreams. But with so many 4-star hotels to choose from, how can you be sure you’re making the right choice? Whether you’re travelling for business, a romantic getaway or to explore the capital with friends, a few essential criteria can make all the difference. Follow our guide to find the 4-star hotel that’s right for you… and maybe let yourself be seduced by the TOO Hôtel!

A Strategic Location To Explore Paris

Paris is made up of a wide variety of districts, each with its own atmosphere. So the district in which you stay will greatly influence your Parisian experience. If you’re a fan of cultural strolls and the hustle and bustle of the city, opt for a hotel near the must-see places like the Marais, Saint-Germain or the Latin Quarter.

But if you’re looking for a more contemporary, inspiring and relaxing atmosphere, turn to areas undergoing a complete revival, such as the Duo Towers in the 13th arrondissement. Take a step up and discover the TOO Hotel, where you can admire Paris from one of the capital’s tallest towers! Just a stone’s throw from Gare d’Austerlitz, close to Gare de Lyon, with ultra-convenient access to the metro, tram, RER and even the Vélibs (Parisians’ favourite self-service bicycles). An ideal location for exploring every corner of Paris, just like a local.

Design as a Unique Experience

In Paris, design is part of the DNA of many 4-star hotels, but some take it even further.
The TOO Hotel, imagined by architect Jean Nouvel and decorated by Philippe Starck, is a true gem of contemporary architecture.

Every room offers a breathtaking view of Paris or the Seine and has been designed to evoke a sense of weightlessness. With refined materials, clean lines, and a soft, immersive ambiance, everything is crafted to transform your stay into a sensory experience.

High-End Services for a Flawless Stay

A 4-star hotel is defined by the quality of its services : 24/7 reception, breakfast, concierge, spa, gym, dining…

The TOO Hotel ticks all the boxes and more: the TOO Restaurant with panoramic views, a lively rooftop bar, the TOO Tac Tac, perched in the clouds, a spa with an outdoor jacuzzi on the 17th floor, a glass-walled fitness room overlooking the rooftops of Paris, and even a Sunday brunch. The experience is as complete as it is spectacular.

A Memorable Gastronomic Experience

Paris is also the world capital of gastronomy, so why not indulge during your stay?
At the TOO Hotel, chef Benjamin Six offers a contemporary, creative menu inspired by Asia, South America, and of course, France, with dishes evolving seasonally. Desserts are signed by none other than Pierre Hermé, a true icon of Parisian pâtisserie.

Whether for romantic dinners or festive gatherings, the TOO Restaurant and the TOO Tac Tac rooftop welcome guests with an exceptional view of the city, the best sunsets, especially magical during events like Bastille Day or New Year’s Eve.

Finding a hotel with a real view in Paris is possible, but rare.
