2 star Paris hotels (France)

From upscale luxury to backpacker heaven, hotels in Paris cater to all tastes. If you're after a recognised name chain, you'll be able to find it, or a cheap-as-chips hostel on the outskirts of town. Paris is one of the world's top destinations and there are the number and range of hotels to match. But where Paris hotels really stand apart from those found in any other tourist city are the small, boutique, well-hidden but never-forgotten gems that are dotted throughout the centre of the town. Think shutters that open onto balconies for breakfast, crisp linen and winding staircases… Elegant, glamorous and yet understated, these are the hotels that epitomise the Parisian chic.
