You're sure to find the perfect place for your stay in Paris!
On a personal note: I've loved the Latin Quarter ever since staying here during my first trip to Paris when I was 20 years old and spent almost 6 weeks in the tiniest room imaginable in the neighborhood's cheapest accommodations: a 0-star hotel that no longer exists but fit my almost non-existent student budget.
Despite the cramped quarters and undrinkable morning coffee, my Latin Quarter hotel felt magical - my own "home" in Paris, for those few weeks, and the perfect base for exploring every part of the city, and beyond.
All of the hotels profiled in this article, whatever their price point, offer something special. If you stay in one of them, I hope you will love this iconic part of Paris as much as I do!

Where to Stay in Paris's Latin Quarter: 23 Wonderful Hotels, Apartments, & A Top-Rated Hostel
Hotel Monge ★★★★
55 Rue Monge, next to Arenes de Lutece, 5th arrondissement
With airy nature-inspired contemporary decor mixed with a few vintage finds, luxuriously comfortable beds in its 30 guest rooms, and superb service, 4-star Hotel Monge offers an excellent location next to the old Roman arena, Arenes de Lutece, and about a 5-minute walk from the Jardin des Plantes. The wonderful
During a recent stay here, I loved the cheerful splashes of color in my room as well as the wonderful rooftop views, and especially appreciated Reception's excellent restaurant recommendations and help with reservations.
A short stroll brings you to Rue Mouffetard, the Latin Quarter's best market and food street, where you'll also find Place de la Contrescarpe, chosen by Ernest Hemingway for the opening scene in A Moveable Feast. Continue walking, and in another few minutes, you'll be at the Pantheon and Luxembourg Garden.
Pro tip: Request a room overlooking the arena.
Pro tip #2: Hotel Monge has a huge (and well-earned) fan base, so book early - especially if you want to stay for more than one night.
Hôtel Pilgrim ★★★★
11 Rue de Poissy, 5th arrondissement
In addition to 53 guestrooms and suites, a fitness room, pool, spa, and onsite bar, Hôtel Pilgrim offers one of the city's most coveted amenities: a large rooftop terrace with sweeping panoramic views of the city, including the dome of the nearby Pantheon and, in the distance, the Eiffel Tower.
Accommodations feature calm decor in softly neutral tones and plushly comfortable beds.
Although some rooms are on the small side - the norm in the Latin Quarter, and for that matter, the rest of Paris - Hotel Pilgrim also offers several types of rooms and suites ranging from spacious to quite large.
The hotel's location is near the Seine River - perfect for evening strolls, exploring the Jardin des Plantes and the Museum of Natural History, the Roman-era Arenes de Lutece, the Institute de Monde Arab's exquisite art collections and its own wonderful rooftop terrace, and the rest of the Latin Quarter.
You're also just a couple of blocks from bridges across the Seine River to Ile de la Cité, home to Notre Dame Cathedral, Sainte-Chapelle, and the Conciergerie, and to Ile Saint-Louis, known for its charming boutiques and bistros; from there, cross one more bridge and you'll be in the fascinating Marais neighborhood.
We recently spent several nights in this gorgeous new hotel and found a lot to love, including the helpful staff, the excellent breakfasts, the posh public spaces, and of course the convenient Latin Quarter location.
Bonus surprise: Exploring the medieval Gothic architecture of the enormous 13th century Collège des Bernardins across the street (20 Rue de Poissy) from the hotel - definitely a "hidden gem" with free admission, nice onsite cafe, and an interesting art exhibition on the day we visited.
Relais Hotel du Vieux Paris ★★★★
9 Rue Git-Le-Coeur, 6th arrondissement
(Although most of the Latin Quarter neighborhood is in the 5th arrondissement, a small section including this hotel is in the 6th adjacent to the Saint Germain neighborhood)
Located in a 15th century residence built by a duke, Relais Hotel du Vieux Paris became known as the "Beat Hotel" during the 1950s and '60s when American "Beat Generation" poets and writers such as Allen Ginsburg, Gregory Corso, and Jack Kerouac made it their home in Paris.
Today, the recently renovated 4-star hotel features charming toile fabrics and exposed beam in a nod to earlier centuries, along with high-quality furnishings, comfortable beds, and contemporary conveniences.
Rates for the least-expensive (and quite compact) guestrooms are a real bargain for accommodations in a 4-star hotel in this location, and are also surprisingly affordable for the spacious suites.
Best of all: you'll love the superb Latin Quarter location near the Seine River and the Saint Germain neighborhood, where you'll have easy access to all of Paris's top attractions.
"Pantheon Pagentry" Apartment
Want to stay in an ideal Latin Quarter location between the Pantheon and Luxembourg Garden?
Consider the spacious Pantheon Pagentry 2-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom apartment, just a 4-minute walk from both locations. You'll love the light-filled rooms with elegant but comfortable furnishings, beautiful parquet floors, and convenient location.
The bonus? Relaxing on the apartment's balcony, glass of wine in hand, and enjoying all the wonderful views of this iconic neighborhood.
Hotel du College de France ★★★
7 Rue Thénard, 5th arrondissement
For a quintessential Parisian experience, book a guestroom with a balcony at the highly-rated 29-room, 3-star Hôtel du College de France, located on a quiet side street close to the Cluny Museum and the Seine River, and sip a glass of wine after a day of sightseeing.

Ceiling fans keep the guestrooms cool during summer months, and you'll love the hotel's affordable rates - a real bargain for this sought-after area in the Left Bank.
Hôtel Parc Saint-Séverin ★★★★
22 Rue de la Parcheminerie, 5th arrondissement
The charming 4-star Hôtel Parc Saint-Séverin overlooks a quiet pedestrian-only street behind Église Saint-Séverin in Paris's Latin Quarter.
The hotel's 27 rooms are decorated in calm neutral shades with pops of jewel-like colors and many luxury touches. The hotel's smaller rooms offer bargain rates for this location, while larger ones with balconies give you wonderful Paris rooftop and skyline views.
Take time to explore the medieval tapestries and Roman baths at Cluny Museum, the English-language bookstore and café at Shakespeare & Company, and if you're here in December, the wonderful Christmas market held each year at Square René Viviani, directly across the Seine from Notre Dame.
Hotel les Dames du Pantheon ★★★★
19 Place du Pantheon, 5th Arrondissement
Located in an 18th century building next to the Pantheon, 4-star Hotel les Dames du Pantheon features decor and fabrics in its 35 guestrooms and suites that reflect the eras and culture of several iconic women.
I've stayed here several times through the years, both in the smaller side-facing rooms as well as a couple of times in the hotel's front-facing rooms featuring wonderful close-up views of the Pantheon. I especially love the short stroll to Luxembourg Garden, the mouth-watering neighborhood bakeries and cafes, and exploring the Pantheon itself, where I discover something new every time I go.
Whether you choose one of the smaller budget-friendly guest rooms or splurge on a spacious suite, you'll love the friendly staff and the glamorous 1940s vibe of the comfortable seating areas in the lobby.
You'll also appreciate being in the heart of the Latin Quarter, which perfectly positions you for exploring the Left Bank and the rest of top Paris attractions.
You may also want to consider the hotel's upscale 3-star sibling next door, Hotel Grand Hommes, where the 31 cozy guestrooms' classic decor, comfortable beds, and welcoming staff make it a favorite of budget-savvy travelers.
Pro Tip: If you decide to stay at either of these hotels, do not wait to book, especially if you want to request a room with a Pantheon view.
Hotel Jardin de Cluny ★★★★
9 Rue du Sommerard, 5th arrondissement
Thanks to a transformative top-to-bottom makeover, Hotel Jardin de Cluny is now a gorgeous 4-star oasis with lush floral touches and Art Deco-inspired furnishings. Super-comfortable beds, sleekly modern bathrooms, and excellent lighting add to your comfort.
You'll also love the hotel's superb Latin Quarter location near Cluny Museum and just a short 5-minute walk to the Seine River and Notre Dame Cathedral.
Stroll through the nearby Maubert open-air food market, pay your respects to French heroes (including American-born singer Josephine Baker, honored for her work with the French Resistance) at the Pantheon, and of course see the famous "Lady and the Unicorn" tapestries, other medieval treasures, and Roman baths at the Musée de Cluny.
Bonus for families: Book the spacious Junior Suite, which sleeps four.

Hotel Marignan ★
13 Rue du Sommerard (near the Cluny Museum and a 5-6 minute walk to the Seine River); nearest metro: Maubert-Mutualité
In a city where 1-star hotels in sought-after neighborhoods have mostly vanished, Hotel Marignan is an insiders' secret among budget-savvy travelers who love its location, low rates, and high-speed fiber optic connections in the heart of Paris's Latin Quarter.
Although the guestrooms tend to be small (which is also true for so many Parisian hotels at every star level), cheerful colors and simple furnishings create a contemporary vibe.
Choose accommodations with a shared toilet and/or bathroom, and you'll usually find (depending on the season) rates well under 100€/night.
Single rooms, in particular, are tiny but cheap. Or book a guest room with a private bathroom, private toilet, and perhaps even a balcony, and pay a bit more. No elevator or air conditioning, but fans are available on request.
The owner/manager and staff are applauded for being helpful and accommodating. The value is impossible to beat.
Needless to say, you need to book here as far ahead as possible to get a a reservation because Hotel Marignan has many devoted return guests.

Revel in the spirit and glamour of the 1930s at Hotel Baume, where lush fabrics, comfortable furnishings, and Art Deco-inspired decor in the 35 guestrooms and suites surround you with sophisticated jewel-like tones. For a special treat (and lots of space!), reserve a suite with a spacious private balcony overlooking the nearby Odeon Theatre and garden patio.
Located less than two blocks from Luxembourg Garden, the hotel puts you in the perfect spot to explore the nearby Cluny Museum, stroll along the Seine River, and savor the neighborhood's many wonderful restaurants.
"La Libellule" Apartment
When you want more space than most hotels offer, not to mention your own kitchen, the La Libellule apartment could be perfect for you. Located just a 2-minute walk from the Maubert-Mutualité metro station, the 1-bedroom apartment includes a spacious living/dining room, fully equipped kitchen, and luxurious modern bathroom.
As you relax on the apartment's balcony with a glass of wine, cheese, and fruit after a day of exploring Paris, you can even spot Île de la Cité and Notre-Dame in the distance.
Residence Henri IV ★★★★
50 Rue des Bernardins
Romantic Parisienne furnishings, including some rooms with canopy or 4-poster beds and a location in a quiet part of the the Latin Quarter between the Seine River and the Pantheon, make the small 4-star Residence Henri IV a favorite haven for Paris visitors who value the exquisite attention to detail and personalized service.
With just 8 guestrooms and 5 spacious suites, you may feel like you're staying in a posh private dwelling rather than a hotel - especially since they all feature compact kitchenettes, a rare amenity in a hotel.
You'll also love the luxurious modern bathrooms. For a special treat, book one of the rooms or suites with a private balcony. But to get these, book very early.
Hotel Dame des Arts ★★★★
4 Rue Danton, 6th arrondissement
With an onsite restaurant, courtyard garden, and rooftop bar with 360 views of Paris including the Eiffel Tower, the 4-star Hotel Dame des Arts also offers a fantastic Latin Quarter location about a 2-minute walk from the Seine River.
Cross the Seine, and you're on Ile de la Cité, where you can experience the magnificent stained glass and candlelight concerts at Sainte-Chapelle, the gothic splendor of Notre Dame, and the fascinating Sunday morning bird market.

Families especially appreciate the connecting rooms.
For longer stays, reserve one of the larger rooms or suites - but if you're staying just a night or two, you'll find great value in the compact smaller rooms while using the hotel's wonderful location near the Latin Quarter/Saint Germain boundary as your base to explore all of Paris. When you return at the end of the day, relax on the hotel's lovely patio.
Hôtel Henri IV ★★★
9 Rue Saint-Jacques, 5th arrondissement
Located almost next to 13th century Église Saint Séverin in the Latin Quarter, the 3-star boutique Hôtel Henri IV - Rive Gauche is also only about a 3-minute walk from Notre Dame Cathedral.
With only 23 guestrooms in the stately 17th century townhouse, Hotel Henri IV feels like a cocoon with antique furniture, warm woodwork, tapestries, and vintage tiles - but you'll also enjoy the luxuriously modern 21st century bathrooms, comfortable beds, and air conditioning.
For a special treat, request a room with a balcony overlooking Latin Quarter rooftops. And don't miss the small guests-only private rooftop terrace!
The hotel's location means you're close to all the top Latin Quarter attractions in addition to Notre Dame and Île de la Cité. Be sure to take some time to go inside and explore Saint Séverin Church, one of the most beautiful and evocative churches in Paris.
Young & Happy Latin Quarter Hostel
80 Rue Mouffetard, 5th arrondissement
If you're searching for budget-friendly accommodations in a top location, it's hard to do better than the Young & Happy Latin Quarter Hostel on Rue Mouffetard, a wonderful pedestrian-only market street that was once a Roman road and before that, a lane used by the Neolithic people who lived in this area.

You can also choose between female-only and mixed-gender rooms. In return for not having your own private space, you'll get cheap rates that feel like a steal in this popular and convenient part of Paris.
Hôtel Albe Saint-Michel ★★★
1 Rue de la Harpe, 5th arrondissement
Chic modern furnishings and a location just one very short block away from the Seine River make the 3-star Albe Hôtel Saint-Michel a comfortable haven and gateway to the lively Latin Quarter. The hotel's location just steps away from the Saint Michel Métro/RER station makes it a convenient choice if you're traveling by train from Charles de Gaulle Airport or Gare de Nord.
Each of the Albe Hotel's 43 guestrooms and suites is decorated with a unique theme, with a Scandinavian vibe in the clean design and splashes of color against monochromes. Plenty of triples make this hotel a great option for small families and friend groups.
You'll have easy access to Notre Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, and other Île de la Cité attractions, as well as to all the wonderful Latin Quarter bistros, galleries, and boutiques.
More Places to Stay in Paris's Latin Quarter
Last but certainly not least, here are three more very special places to stay in the Latin Quarter (by coincidence, they are all also very close to the Saint-Germain neighborhood). But, they are are also highly popular and therefore not easy to reserve. Needless to say, you'll need to book far in advance, especially if you want to get one of the larger suites or apartments for more than a night or two.
- Hotel Saint-Andre des Arts (66 Rue Saint-André des Arts, 6th arr) - Cool 4-star hotel with an Art Deco/Pop Art vibe on a lively street in the Odeon area; very, very popular.

If you've drooled over showrooms featuring antique objects, beautiful tiles, and Pierre Frey, Farrow & Ball, Brunschwig & Son, Osborne Little, and Lelievre fabrics, wallpapers, and paints during your strolls around Paris, you can experience them first hand in this exquisitely decorated hotel.
- Hotel Residence des Arts (14 Rue Gît-le-Cœur, 6th arr) - Beautiful 3-star hotel with 11 guestrooms on 6 floors in a 17th century building; sister hotel to Hotel Villa d'Estrées across the street, so you'll find similarly elegant decor, high quality materials, and attention to details.
