Are you considering booking a hotel in Montmartre for your Paris visit?
Although well over a century has passed since bohemian artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Suzanne Valadon, Edgar Degas, and Amadeo Modigliani lived and worked here during the Belle Epoque period, the neighborhood retains its quirky charm and village-like ambiance.
If you're like many visitors, you'll love Montmartre's winding cobblestone lanes, numerous small cafes and boutiques, leafy parks, small museums, and unexpected art, such as the "Wall of Love" mural in Place des Abbesses and the bronze bust of Dalida, the famous French-Italian-Egyptian singer whose remains reside in the Montmartre Cemetery.

Montmartre Hotels near Moulin Rouge, La Cigale, & Other Nightlife
1. Manolita Paris Hotel ★★★★★
1 Rue Lepic, 18th arrondissement; nearest metro: Blanche
Located almost next to the famous Moulin Rouge cabaret and close to La Cigale music hall and Sacre Coeur Basilica, 5-star Manolita Paris gives you the perfect spot for exploring all of Montmartre's charming nooks and crannies. It's also just a few steps away from the Blanche metro station, which gives you easy access to the rest of the city.
With only 10 guestrooms and suites, the hotel offers personalized service and a glamorous ambiance with a Belle Epoque/Art Deco vibe.
Even the smallest guestrooms are large by Paris standards, and the hotel's gorgeous gold and black bar gives you a comfortable spot to savor a drink (or two) after a day of sightseeing or an evening enjoying the neighborhood's many entertainment venues.
Pro tip: Book a suite with a balcony.
2. Maison Souquet ★★★★★
10 Rue de Bruxelles, 9th arrondissement; nearest metro: Blanche
To quickly spot Maison Souquet, located about a 1-2 minute walk from Moulin Rouge, look for two red lights - a not-so-subtle nod to the building's Belle Époque stint as a maison close, an upscale brothel catering to wealthy pleasure seekers.
The "pleasure house" theme continues inside the hotel, where lush silk and velvet fabrics, dark colors, and slightly risqué artwork featuring scantily clad women create a romantic Art Nouveau ambiance without any sacrifices of 21st century comfort.
Each of the 20 guestrooms and suites bear the name of a famous courtesan unique decor grouped around five themes: Japanese, 18th century, Second Empire French (ie, Napoleon III), Chinese, and Indian. A hammam and pool will add to your pleasure. Tea is served each afternoon, and a bartender is on hand during the evenings to mix your favorite drink.
Maison Souquet is part of the Maisons Particulières Collection founded by Sylviane Sanz and Yoni Aïdan. Check out their other luxurious boutique hotels in Paris:
- Maison Proust Hotel & Spa La Mer (26 Rue de Picardie, 3rd arr) - An evocative 5-star re-creation of a Parisian Belle Époque salon inspired by Marcel Proust located in the Upper Marais neighborhood near the Enfants Rouge covered market
- Maison Athénée (Rue de Caumartin, 9th arr) - An ode to Belle Époque salons located just a few minutes' walk from the Palais Garnier Opera House, Place de la Madeleine, and Place Vendome
3. Hotel La Chat Noir ★★★★
68 Boulevard de Clichy, 18th arrondissement; nearest metro: Blanche
Located about a 3-minute walk from Moulin Rouge on a site once occupied by the famous Belle Epoque cabaret with the same name, the 4-star Hotel Le Chat Noir rocks a chic red, black, and white color theme, comfortable contemporary furnishings, and lots of Art Nouveau-style black cats images in homage to the hotel's name.
The 41 guest rooms at this boutique "design" hotel come in all sizes, from a small 1-person room with an unexpected plus - a balcony - to the large 2-story apartment (complete with kitchen) for four with balconies on both levels where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Eiffel Tower and Sacre Coeur.
The hotel also includes an onsite restaurant/club, Le Chat Noir, open from 7am - 5am, where you can indulge in French classics - onion soup, mussels, bouillabaisse and enjoy some of the legendary Pigalle nightlife.
Entertainment with DJ sets and/or live music (mostly French and International pop) starts after Moulin Rouge's last show ends at around midnight.
4. Hotel Rochechouart ★★★★
55 Boulevard Marguerite de Rochechouart, 9th arrondissement; nearest metro: Blanche
The 4-star Hotel Rochechouart's location puts it near the border of Montmartre and the Pigalle neighborhood, once known for its sex shows (only a few remain) and now home to an increasing number of trendy bars and bistros.
Famed Montmartre music halls La Cigale and La Trianon are almost directly across the street, and a leisurely 5-minute walk will bring you to the Moulin Rouge cabaret, while you can reach Sacre Coeur in less than 10 minutes - if you take the funicular up the hill!
After closing down a few years ago for a complete top-to-bottom renovation, the 4-star Hotel Rochechouart has emerged with a poshly elegant Art Deco vibe in its public spaces and 106 guestrooms and suites. The real show-stopper, though, is the fabulous rooftop terrace/bar offering sweeping views of Paris.
Pro tip: Book a room on an upper floor with an Eiffel Tower view.

5. Timhotel Opera Blanche Fontaine ★★★★
34 Rue Pierre Fontaine, 9th Arrondissement; nearest metro: Blanche
Book a stay at Timhotel Opera Blanche Fontaine, and you'll be less than a block away from Moulin Rouge and the Blanche metro station - perfect for enjoying a late show with dinner and Champagne at the famous caberet, or for quickly and easily getting to other parts of the city on the metro.
Other top Montmartre sites are also nearby and the tantalizing Rue des Martyrs market street is just a short walk away. This part of the SoPi (South of Pigalle) neighborhood is packed with small bistros and cafes, including the popular Pink Mamma trattoria and The French Bastards bakery (where you should stop by for a decadently delicious pain au chocolat).
Although you can't see much of the hotel from the street because it opens onto a quiet courtyard beyond its entrance gage, it is actually larger than it appears with 69 guestrooms.
Rates for smaller rooms fall into the "bargain" category if you're looking for cheap accommodations. Adjoining rooms can easily accommodate families. For more spacious quarters (also with affordable rates), book an executive room for up to 4 people, or a junior suite.
Bonus: Paid onsite parking - quite unusual in this part of Paris.

6. HOY Hôtel ★★★★
68 Rue des Martyrs, 9th Arrondissement; nearest metro: Blanche
HOY Hotel's location on the famous Rue des Martyrs near Boulevard de Clichy puts you just a quick walk from Montmartre's celebrated nightlife: the Moulin Rouge cabaret, Le Trianon and La Cigale concert halls, and nearby clubs. As a bonus, the Paris Opera House is only about 10 minutes away on foot, and Montmartre's cafes, small museums, boutiques, and Sacre Coeur Basilica are equally close.
If you're arriving at Gare du Nord on the Eurostar, you'll appreciate the easy walk from the station to the hotel - about 10-12 minutes, assuming you don't stop for a cup of coffee or snack at one of the tempting spots along the way.
The hotel's 22 feng-shui inspired rooms feature calming blue and cream tones, super-comfortable beds, and natural hardwood floors give you the perfect spot to relax after a busy day. What sets this boutique property apart, though, is its focus on wellness and a healthy lifestyle: a yoga studio, onsite vegan restaurant, and an onsite florist. You'll even find a yoga stretching bar in your room instead of a television.
Another bonus: exploring Rue de Martyr's bookstores, bakeries, cheese shops, florists, hardware stores, wine sellers, produce markets, and delis with mouthwatering carryout.

7. Hotel des Arts Montmartre ★★★★
5 Rue Tholozé, 18th arrondissement; nearest metros: Abbesses and Blanche
Located on a quiet cobblestone lane about half a block from the boutiques and bistros along Rue des Abbesses, the highly-rated 4-star Hotel des Arts puts you in the perfect spot to visit Moulin Rouge, Sacre Coeur Basilica, and all the other Montmartre attractions, while two nearby metro stations give you easy access to the rest of Paris
A favorite of artists and Moulin Rouge dancers during its early years, the family-owned boutique hotel with 50 guestrooms has passed through three generations, each making numerous improvements along the way.
Thanks to the 3rd (and current) generation, Flavie and Philippe Lameyre, sound-proofed rooms feature super-comfortable beds and modern furnishings. You can also enjoy an onsite hammam and fitness room, as well as excellent service from the attentive staff.

8. Terrass' Hotel ★★★★
12-14 Rue Joseph de Maistre, 18th arrondissement; nearest metro: Blanche
Want to enjoy amazing views of the Eiffel Tower and Paris rooftops from your hotel in Montmartre? Book a stay at the 4-star Terrass' Hotel, where you can gaze at the Tower from the 7th floor bar, terrace, and restaurant as well as some of the 92 guestrooms.
This is one of our personal favorites in this neighborhood because of the combination of comfortable rooms (always very clean, too), appealing decor, great value for the money, convenient location, helpful staff, and perhaps best of all, the fantastic Eiffel Tower views. We also appreciate the fitness room and the co-working space beyond the lobby.
You'll find a lot more to love than just the views at this unique property, which opened in 1911 and has been owned, managed, periodically renovated, and improved by the same family since the beginning.
With the 5th generation now at the helm, the chic contemporary guestrooms feature jewel-like primary colors paired with black and white - evocative of a Mondrian painting and artists' dressing rooms, in homage to the hotel's early days when artists, writers such as Colette, and musicians gathered there.
In a city known for its small hotel rooms, Terrass' is an exception. Even the smallest guestrooms here are relatively spacious, and the largest suites are enormous. Similar to other Montmartre hotels, you'll find some excellent values here.
And remember, whether you book the smallest, cheapest room or splurge on the priciest suite, you'll have access to the grand views from the top floor bar and restaurant - so let your budget be your guide!
Terrass' Hotel is located about a 10-minute walk from Montmartre's top two attractions, Moulin Rouge and Sacre Coeur, and has easy access to metro stations and bus stops.
9. Hotel Litteraire Marcel Ayme Best Western Premier ★★★★
16 Rue Tholozé, 18th arrondissement; closest metro: Abbesses
Named after a Montmartre writer who participated in the local literary and artistic scene for 40 years, Hotel Litteraire Marcel Aymé's location high on a hill in an especially scenic part of the neighborhood provides a reminder of why so many creatives flocked to this village-like neighborhood.
In addition to the scenic windmill which you can see at the end of the next block, other nearby attractions include a serene park called Square Suzanne Buisson, known best for its statue of the martyred Saint Denis.
Walk one more block, and you'll see a quirky sculpture (Le Passe-Muraille) inspired by a story by Marcel Aymé about a man who walks through walls - so, look on your left for a low wall by a parkiing lot where a man appears to be emerging through it.
Aside from the hotel's wonderful location, you'll find much to love inside where a mix of 39 comfortable guestrooms and apartments (complete with kitchenettes) feature light, bright, and modern furnishings and decor.
In addition, the hotel includes a lovely well-stocked library and co-working space - perfect for pursuing your own literary endeavors, or just cocooning.
Pro Tip #1: Book a guest room with a balcony with an Eiffel Tower view over the Paris rooftops and enjoy the sparkling light show each evening
