14 Best Airbnbs in Paris, Where Romance Meets Great Design (2026)

From hidden architectural gems to stays with dazzling Eiffel Tower viewsFew cities in the world exude as much elegance as Paris, where every boulevard seems to have a story and every building appears a work of art. The City of Light has a way of capturing the imagination of even the most seasoned traveler—its allure magnified by its architectural beauty, from the symmetry of its avenues flanked by Haussmannian buildings to the wrought-iron flourishes of Belle Époque balconies. Whether you’re visiting for the first time, the 100th, or in town for Maison&Objet (the city’s bi-annual design fair taking place in mid-September) there is no shortage of stylish Airbnbs in Paris to ensure your stay is chic as can be. Here, a selection of our favorite stays from the Marais to Montmartre when you’re looking for something beyond a hotel.9ConfidentielPerks: Self check-in, building staff, elevator, air conditioning, luggage drop-off, coffee maker9Confidentiel takes some obvious inspiration from 1920s design, but the interiors keep it light rather than overly nostalgic. Pale oak parquet and curved furniture are paired with oversized arched mirrors, pleated lamps, graphic rugs, and a soft palette of butter yellow, blush, and powder blue, with brass details adding some shine. The rooms were designed by Philippe Starck, the influential French designer who helped popularize the modern design hotel. Set in the Marais, the hotel is especially well placed for days spent browsing boutiques and galleries, with cafés, museums, and the Seine all close by. From $357 per night.Saint-Germain-des-Prés church is directly across the street from the Madison Hôtel.

Rounded furniture and warm brass lighting nod to the 1920s without making the rooms feel themed, while large windows—and, in some rooms, wrought-iron balconies—bring in classic Parisian flair. It’s right on Boulevard Saint-Germain in the 6th arrondissement, across from the Saint-Germain-des-Prés church, putting some of the Left Bank’s best-known cafés, galleries, bookshops, and museums within an easy walk. From $349 per night.Beyond its beautiful interiors, the location of Hôtel des Orfèvres is a primary selling point, just a short walk across the Seine from Sainte-Chapelle, the Palais de Justice de Paris, and Notre-Dame.

The rooms are richly layered, with printed wallpapers, thick carpets, woodwork, velvet, and framed artwork, while palettes shift from dusty rose and rust to sage and deep blue. Striped cushions and throws add another hit of pattern, and the mix of textures gives even the smaller rooms a jewel-box quality. The hotel sits in the 1st arrondissement near Châtelet and the Seine, with the Louvre, Notre-Dame, the Marais, and Saint-Germain all easy to reach on foot. From $325 per night.Luxury Flat on Île Saint-LouisPerks: Bathtub, washer and dryer, dishwasher, private balcony, elevator, house keeping availableHerringbone parquet floors, ornate ceiling moldings, tall French windows, and wrought-iron balconies give this one-bedroom apartment plenty of classic Paris character, while the furnishings skew more contemporary. Long wood built-ins and floating bookshelves warm up the white walls, and an Eames-style lounge chair, mint-green pedestal dining table, and streamlined wood kitchen keep the space from feeling overly traditional. The apartment is on Île Saint-Louis in the 4th arrondissement, a small island in the Seine known for its 17th-century architecture and quieter residential feel. From $614 per night.Sublime Apartment Next to Arc de TriomphePerks: Elevator building, washer and dryer, near the Arc de Triomphe and the Bois de BoulogneBetween the dark marble, inlaid floors, intriguing wall coverings, and Art Deco stylings of the elegant rooms, there’s a lot to admire about this fully renovated one-bedroom. It includes a fully-equipped kitchen, a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, plus a piped sofa bed for additional guests. Its location off of a quiet courtyard feels ultra private, and the idyllic Bois de Boulogne begs visitors to slow down and take it all in. From $305 per night.Highstay Maison – Boétie StudioPerks: Central AC, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, centrally located, fully serviced (daily cleaning and concierge service)This swanky studio mere steps away from the Arc de Triomphe has all the hallmarks of a boutique hotel suite, except in Airbnb form (so you have the whole place to yourself). Fully serviced with daily cleanings and a concierge service, the compact space feels like the pied-à-terre of Paris’s most eligible bachelor. The elevated kitchen and living space bleeds over into a cocoonlike, oxblood-hued bedroom for catching up on beauty rest.

From $577 per night.Grand and Elegant Studio With a BalconyPerks: Walkable to several Parisian tourist attractions, balcony, storage, great natural lightBehind Place de la Madeleine in Paris’s 8th Arondissement, this top-floor studio was designed by architect Maxime Bousquet as part of Pied à Terre, a project encompassing a series of luxury apartments in Paris, each with excellent design credentials. The home is small but romantic, and artfully curated for maximum wow factor: checkerboard flooring and wood millwork, a striped loveseat, a disco-like powder room with heated floors, and many gilded details achieve a retro glam style without leaning kitschy. There’s also integrated storage that keeps the single room feeling uncluttered (necessary when the alternative is an open suitcase and your items sprawled across the floor) and a balcony for enjoying Champagne in the evening and coffee in the morning. Location-wise, you’re in one of the Right Bank’s most walkable areas: Tuileries, Rue Saint-Honoré, Palais Garnier, and Place Vendôme are all within reach.

With three decorative fireplaces, a spacious living area, pristine herringbone floors, built-in bookcases, and decorative plaster work, you might be tempted to extend your stay.

Today the apartment’s historic beams lend an industrial touch to this open plan loft apartment with modern glass partitions, contemporary bathroom, and enormous, fully equipped kitchen complete with American-size appliances. The two-bedroom home lends itself well to families needing a little more room to spread out, and plenty of baby items (highchair, travel crib, baby monitor, etc.) are provided upon request. From $740 per night.Paris Saint-DominiquePerks: Views of the Eiffel Tower, roof terrace, central AC, elevator buildingIt’s almost impossible to get closer to the Eiffel Tower than at this one-bedroom apartment.

With panoramic views of the entire city, from the roof terrace you feel as if you can almost touch its most iconic landmark. The open-concept apartment boasts modern furnishings, large-scale windows, and a well-equipped kitchen.

From $1,780 per night.The Lander - Louvre IIIPerks: Near the Louvre Museum, central AC, washer and dryer, multiple bathrooms, travel crib, daily cleaning serviceLocated near the Louvre, this two-bedroom apartment feels almost like a museum itself. The space is a study in restraint, with a color palette comprised mostly of cream and marigold. Its highly curated decor feels ultra contemporary with arched doorways, fluid-line sofas juxtaposed with structured, Deco-inspired armchairs, and all marble bathrooms. The style honors the lines of the building’s 19th-century roots, while offering it a contemporary take on life in a Haussmann-style apartment.

That 19th-century artistic heritage is felt throughout the apartment with a thoughtful mix of vintage and antique pieces—namely a vintage steamer trunk coffee table, teak midcentury furniture, contemporary Scandi lighting, tonal bedding, and an ultra-modern kitchen and bathroom. Montmartre and the Paris opera are just a walk away. From $512 per night.The AD Travel EditCraving an escape?
