Budget Hotels near Arc de Triomphe - Paris Discovery Guide

Looking for budget Paris hotels near the Arc de Triomphe?

First, a quick geography lesson: three Paris arrondissements meet at the famous Arc - the posh 8th and 16th arrondissements to the east and south, and the upscale 17th to the northwest.

Now for a Paris insider's secret: While many hotels in the 8th and 16th range from pricey to astronomical, you can find some real bargains among the many small 2-star and 3-star hotels in the quiet, primarily residential 17th.

So take a look at the six budget hotels below, and check out the terrific values. Most are in the 17th Arrondissement.

Rates vary according to season - use the links to see the best rates for your travel dates.

All of these budget hotels in Paris are close to the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Élysées, as well as other lesser-known attractions such as Fondation Louis Vuitton in Bois de Boulogne, Parc Monceau, the Stade de France convention and entertainment center, and La Défénce business district to the west.

All are also close to stations on the Paris Métro's Line 1, which gives you fast access to popular attractions such as the Louvre, Palais Royal, and the Marais neighborhood.
