The Best Hotels in Montmartre, Paris
Staying in the former artist’s village of Montmartre means wandering the cobbled streets once inhabited by Picasso, Dalí and Van Gogh, and being on the doorstep of the Moulin Rouge cabaret, for that all-important selfie.

7. Môm’Art Hotel

8. Hotel Montmartre Mon Amour

It’s no secret Paris has a reputation as a city for lovers, and Hotel Montmartre Mon Amour is passionate about preserving it.

You can also add amorous messages to heart-shaped slates while tucking into a “lovebox” intimacy kit that includes items such as a “ring for a kiss” bell.
9. Best Western Plus Hotel Littéraire Marcel Aymé

Just a stone’s throw from the legendary Moulin de la Galette, Best Western Plus Hotel Littéraire Marcel Aymé is perhaps the quirkiest hotel in Montmartre.

Literary sculptures adorn the walls alongside book extracts, offering pearls of wisdom at every turn. Expect well-stocked bookcases and comfy chairs to curl up in with a page-turner, but if socialising is more your thing, enjoy a drink in the cocktail lounge.
