Best quiet hotels in Paris

Le Pavillon de la Reine, for the Marais: the house stands back from the Place des Vosges, behind the arcade and across its own courtyard garden, and on the official night-time road-noise map nothing within 50 metres of it reaches 50 dB. Shangri-La Paris, for the residential 16th: book a courtyard room, because Avenue d'Iéna outside reads 65 to 69 dB at night.

What we looked for

Quiet in Paris is a matter of which side of the building you sleep on as much as which quarter. Since November 2024 the 1st to the 4th have been closed to through traffic, but the Marais keeps late Friday and Saturday nights, which street-side rooms hear, and Les Halles is the city's crossroads. Beyond that zone, Rue Frochot in South Pigalle is a short street of late bars, and the Grands Boulevards are busy with traffic well into the evening. The 16th, the residential west, is calmer, though its avenues carry traffic at night.

Two of our ten keep the evening yours. Le Pavillon de la Reine does it in the Marais, set back behind the arcade of the Place des Vosges across its own courtyard garden. Shangri-La Paris does it on the Chaillot hill, among museums, with courtyard rooms away from Avenue d'Iéna. On the official night-time road-noise map, nothing within 50 metres of the Pavillon reaches 50 dB, while the avenue outside Shangri-La reads 65 to 69. Choose the Pavillon to walk the old centre and come back to a courtyard, and Shangri-La for the 16th, with the tower a walk away.

Le Pavillon de la Reine: Tables laid in the courtyard garden

The romantic one

1 / 2

Le Pavillon de la Reine

Place des Vosges, Paris

Street at night: Under 50 dB

Le Pavillon de la Reine is quiet by its layout. The way in is the listed 17th-century arcade at no. 28 Place des Vosges, on the square's north side, and beyond the gate a cobbled courtyard garden lies between the square and the house. Every outlook the hotel names is a courtyard, its own terrace, a quiet street or the Japanese garden, and the 3rd lies inside the zone closed to through traffic since November 2024.

The evening stays small. Anne, the one-star dining room, seats about twenty and serves dinner from Tuesday to Saturday; the fireplace lounge serves as the bar until midnight, and room service runs around the clock. The hammam and jacuzzi are free to guests until 9pm, and the Marais is outside the gate when you want it.

The room to book

Junior Suite

30 to 40 m²€1,236 a night

A separate sitting room for an evening in, and every one looks onto the inner courtyard, the terrace or a quiet street.

Every room, and why

Ask for a Junior Suite on a single level, and book Anne for one of your Tuesday to Saturday nights to dine without leaving the gate.

Shangri-La Paris: The Eiffel Tower from an upper-floor terrace

The view

2 / 2

Shangri-La Paris

Trocadéro, Paris

Street at night: 65 to 69 dB

Shangri-La Paris stands at 10 Avenue d'Iéna on the Chaillot hill, in the 16th: a residential corner of museums, with the Musée Guimet three minutes away, the Palais de Tokyo five and Iéna Métro two. The avenue itself is not quiet: on the official night-time road-noise map it reads 65 to 69 dB, so this is a hotel for a courtyard room, not a street one. Its 100 rooms and suites fill Prince Roland Bonaparte's 1890s house and the upper floors that date from 1929 and 1966, and evenings in the house turn on dinner: Shang Palace from Thursday to Monday, Les Salons du Prince or the garden bistro Maison Roland any night until 10pm, then Le Bar Botaniste.

The outlook is sold by category. The Superior Room faces the courtyard or the glass cupola, the Deluxe Room the garden or the avenues, and the rooms named Eiffel look south across the Seine to the tower, about 600 metres away and seen at an angle. The walk to the tower's entrance is 13 minutes, over the Pont d'Iéna. For sleep, the courtyard is the side to ask for.

The room to book

Superior Room

about 36 m²€1,732 a night

About 36 square metres, facing the courtyard or the glass cupola, away from Avenue d'Iéna: the quiet side of the house. No tower; for that, book the Eiffel View Room and ask for a high floor.

Every room, and why

Book Shang Palace for a night between Thursday and Monday, and end the evening at Le Bar Botaniste without leaving the house.

Questions people ask

Good questions about Paris

Which area of Paris is quietest at night?

On the official night-time road-noise map, the quietest spot around our ten is behind the Place des Vosges: nothing within 50 metres of Le Pavillon de la Reine reaches 50 dB. The 16th, the residential west, is calm on its side streets, but its avenues carry traffic: Avenue d'Iéna, outside Shangri-La Paris, reads 65 to 69 dB, so ask for the courtyard there. The loudest are the Grands Boulevards, at 70 dB or more, the street sides of the Marais at weekends and Rue Frochot in South Pigalle.

Is the Marais noisy at night?

On its street sides, at weekends, it can be: the Marais stays busy late on Friday and Saturday nights, so light sleepers should avoid a street-side room. Since November 2024 the 1st to the 4th have been closed to through traffic, and on Sundays the city closes streets in the Marais to cars from 10am. Le Pavillon de la Reine answers it by layout: the house stands behind the arcade at no. 28 Place des Vosges, across a cobbled courtyard garden, and the outlooks it names are a courtyard, its terrace, a quiet street or the Japanese garden.

Is it quiet near the Eiffel Tower?

Inside, across the river from it, yes; on the street, less so. Shangri-La Paris is at 10 Avenue d'Iéna on the Chaillot hill, a residential corner of museums in the 16th, but the avenue reads 65 to 69 dB at night on the official road-noise map, so its courtyard rooms are the quiet ones. The tower is about 600 metres south of the hotel, and its entrance is a 13-minute walk over the Pont d'Iéna; the Eiffel View Rooms see it at an angle, so ask for a high floor.

Can you eat well at a quiet Paris hotel without going out?

At both of ours. At Le Pavillon de la Reine, Anne, with one MICHELIN star and about twenty seats, serves dinner from 7pm to 9.30pm, Tuesday to Saturday; on Sunday and Monday the terrace bar's snack menu runs until 10pm, the bar stays open until midnight and room service runs around the clock. At Shangri-La Paris, Shang Palace serves Chinese cooking from 6.30pm to 10pm, Thursday to Monday, Les Salons du Prince and the garden bistro Maison Roland serve every day from noon to 10pm, and Le Bar Botaniste opens at 6pm.

How did you choose these hotels?

Independently, through extensive research, trusted sources and first-hand visits. Hotels cannot pay to be included, and every one of the ten has to exist for a different reason.
