For a quick getaway to Paris, a romantic night, a pajama party with your BFF, or just to enjoy some solo relaxation, these new hotels have us eager to book a room in no time. Psst: Visiting during the Olympics? The prices listed are what you'll actually pay during the bustling month of August 2024.

The DNA: A new 5-star gem by Chapitre Six (Monsieur George, Monsieur Aristide), the poetic Hana sits between Opéra and Bourse, offering tranquility with discreet luxury and graceful charm. Designed by renowned architect Laura Gonzalez and fashion art director Olivier Leone, the hotel presents a delightful journey into a dreamlike Japan with Belle Époque influences. Cozy in every corner, Hôtel Hana emphasizes care, a pillar of Japanese culture, featuring a hidden swimming pool in the basement and a custom ritual menu offering reiki, kobido, reflexology-drainage, and even an Olympic special treatment: "Olympic Spirit" combining a deep tissue massage and a guided music meditation (€120).

The Rooms: Soft and harmonious, the 26 rooms, including a suite and an apartment, are beautifully designed with a feng shui aura by expert Hélène Weber. Featuring iroko wood, straw coverings, and plush carpets, they instantly evoke relaxation. Tailor-made refinement with soft tones, silky materials, and delicately floral prints, plus palace-comfort bedding and bathrooms adorned with two-tone marble and Diptyque toiletries. A small notebook in the room encourages guests: "Be disturbing, call us! Reception". We love it.

Extra Perk: The Hanabi restaurant and its gem of a bar, perfect for a pre- or post-dinner drink, serving signature cocktails (€21-24). The stylish fusion of French-Japanese cuisine by Shirley Garrier of The Social Food includes dishes like wagyu cecina chiffonade (€29), camembert tempura with yuzu jam (€18), black sesame gomatofu (€15), wagyu steak with sansho pepper sauce (€54), and a sparkling sake cheesecake with sesame oil (€14).

The DNA: Lacquered walls, leopard prints, colorful carpets, and panther statues greet guests in this 80s-themed aesthetic. The latest 4-star from Touriste group (Bienvenue, Beauregard, Les Deux Gares…) offers unbeatable value. Located in the lively 10th arrondissement on its namesake street, nestled between two Afro hair salons, this cool spot adds even more personality to the vibrant setting. Studio Necchi Architecture has crafted a stylishly vintage atmosphere.

The Rooms: Extending the film set decor, the 35 well-designed rooms feature top-notch bedding (we love the fluffy pillows) and carpets in ochre, green, or orange. Imagine yourself doing an XL blowout while listening to Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson hits. Retro touches like rotary phones, checkerboard bathroom tiles, and lacquered TV trays complete the nostalgic vibe. Our favorite key? Room 506, one of the most spacious and affordably priced.

Extra Perk: While the hotel lacks a restaurant, explore the eco-friendly dining at Les Résistants down the street, serving lovingly prepared dishes with green vibes (16 rue du Château d’Eau, Paris 10e. Dishes €19-29).

The DNA: This brand-new 4-star hotel opened in March in the serene Madeleine district, spanning 7 floors of a Haussmann building once frequented by famed American writers like Fitzgerald and Hemingway. Decor inspired by this legacy, crafted by Liautard and the Queen, features tropical and geometric patterns, floral wallpapers, and bold colors. We love the cozy carpeted lounge with a fireplace and jukebox extending the lobby, plus the boutique offering the divine Florida candle by Lola James Harper, the hotel’s olfactory signature.

The Rooms: Classic, superior, deluxe, and suites, totaling 39, showcase elegant aesthetics with soft volumes, cocooning fabrics, and a beautiful blend of styles and eras with curated objects and detailed touches. We adore the chic minibar in the rooms and suites, offering a wide range of drinks and DIY cocktail options. The XL bathrooms, clad in marble, with both shower and tub, are perfect for relaxation.

Extra Perk: The Nepita restaurant has become a hotspot since the hotel’s opening. Featuring a charming room with velvet banquettes and chairs, it extends to a delightful terrace for summer dining. Chef Amandine Chaignot’s Mediterranean cuisine highlights include artichoke with pistachio emulsion (€16), reimagined Niçoise salad with grilled octopus (€18), divine langoustine tagliolini (€38), and house-made ice creams (€12).

The DNA: After three years of renovation, the Hôtel Astra Opéra (Groupe Astotel) has been transformed. Located near the Palais Garnier and department stores, the hotel was redesigned by architect Philippe Maidenberg, blending old-world charm with modern interiors. Each space pays tribute to four stars: prima ballerina Marie-Agnès Gillot, actor Daniel Auteuil, astronaut and politician Claudie Haigneré, and the Bouglione circus family. The grand salon, illuminated by a glass roof, invites conviviality with large tables and cozy alcoves for breakfast or snacks available throughout the day.

The Rooms: Far from the kitsch of themed hotels, subtle references to these personalities enrich each of the 73 rooms and suites in this 4-star establishment. Movie fans will appreciate the Daniel Auteuil floor with spotlights and film posters, while classical dance lovers will enjoy the Marie-Agnès Gillot rooms with ballet bar mirrors, pointe shoes, and pink accents. For something unique, opt for Bouglione rooms with swing chairs and red velvet walls, a nod to the circus world. Pro tip: Ask for an upper-floor room for a view of the Eiffel Tower. Practical features include ample storage in both the bedroom and bathroom.

Extra Perk: The hotel's wellness area in the basement, perfect for unwinding after a long day exploring Paris. Enjoy the hammam, sauna, high-tech gym equipment, and the heated swimming pool, open until 10 pm, with sun loungers for relaxation.

Just five minutes from the metro, the MGallery's luxury expertise was needed to transform this 17th-century building, previously inhabited by Queen Margot herself (where she sought refuge from the Parisian frenzy and the plague) for nine years, and later by priests for 300 years, into a peaceful haven just a stone's throw from Paris. The estate offers a vast, classified garden with a vegetable garden, orchard, and greenhouse for private events. A brand-new building with refined decor by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, and a bistronomic restaurant under the old house's glass roof, offers delightful queen's bites.
