The Best Hotels Near Parc de la Villette, Paris

It’s not often you find a trendy hotel within one of the oldest steakhouses in town, but at the Au Bœuf Couronné, you get just that. On the main floor, a brasserie-style dining room with gold fixtures and red-velvet furnishings lends a quintessentially French backdrop for savouring a sirloin skirt steak or grilled Villette prime rib. Once satiated, retire upstairs to one of the 42 guest rooms, where raw materials such as wood, marble and leather combine with whitewashed walls and warm hues to create a setting that’s as trendy as it is sophisticated.

While the character of the 19th-century building that houses Hôtel Tréma lends a flair reminiscent of the belle époque, the remodelled guest rooms feature hardwood floors, modern fittings and sleek, monochrome furnishings. The delightful boutique property comes with service to match, with a team that will go out of its way to help you make the most of your visit to the City of Lights. Thanks to the nearby Crimée metro station, you can get from the hotel to well-known Paris sights such as Montmartre and the Sacré-Cœur in just 10 minutes.

Dine on a sumptuous breakfast spread in a light-filled dining room with 360-degree views, and at night, indulge in contemporary French cuisine in the vibrant L’Entrepôt restaurant and bar. Wrap up your days with a visit to the sauna or by breaking a sweat at the fitness centre.
