Average Hotel Price in Paris, France (2026 Data)

A night in a Paris hotel now costs about a third more than it did before the pandemic. The average room sold for €223.5¹ ($253²) before VAT in 2025, against €165.3³ in 2019, and hotels still filled 80.7%¹ of their rooms. Prices swing hard through the year: a June night averaged 1.69² times a February one, and the 2024 Olympics pushed August rates up by more than half while occupancy fell.

This page puts the official figures on Paris hotels (occupancy, guest nights, rooms by star rating and arrondissement, the tourist tax and VAT) next to the monthly average rates of a large hotel panel, labelled as commercial. All money is shown in US dollars first, converted at each year's average euro rate, with euros in brackets. Further down: what each hotel segment costs, the cheapest and dearest months, where the city's 87,546⁴ hotel rooms are, and what comes on top of the room rate.

What a hotel night in Paris costs

The average hotel price per night in Paris in 2025 was $253² (€223.5¹), excluding VAT.¹ That is the average revenue a hotel took per occupied room, across the hotels in the panel. It fell 1.1%¹ in euros from 2024, while occupancy rose 4.3¹ points to 80.7%¹, so hotels earned more per available room overall.

The average hotel price per night in Paris in 2024 was $249² (€230.3⁵), with occupancy at 75.9%⁵, the Olympic year's lower figure.⁵ The longer view matters more than the small dip. In 2018 the same average was €162.9⁶ and in 2019 €165.3³; by 2025 it was 35.2%² higher in euros. Because the dollar was stronger against the euro in 2019, the rise looks a little larger in dollars: from $185² to $253², up 36.5%².

Each December report gives the full-year figure for that year only; the years 2020 to 2023 were not reached, so the table is not a continuous series. The panel also revises the year before: the 1.1%¹ fall reported for 2025 implies about €226.0² for 2024, a little under the €230.3⁵ printed a year earlier; occupancy and RevPAR are restated the same way, which is why the table shows a larger 2024-2025 rise than the 4.3¹ points the panel reports. Read the table as levels, not as exact year-on-year changes.

The Paris hotel average daily rate in 2025

Hoteliers call this figure the average daily rate (ADR): room revenue divided by rooms sold. Its partner, RevPAR, divides the same revenue by all rooms, sold or not, so it moves with both price and occupancy. In Paris RevPAR reached €180.4¹ in 2025, up 4.4%¹ on 2024, which is why a slightly lower rate still meant a better year for hotels. For a traveler, ADR is the closer guide to what a room costs, though a room booked for a busy week can cost far more than the average.

How much is a hotel in Paris once taxes are added?

The rates above exclude VAT. French hotel stays carry VAT at 10%⁸, which lifts the 2025 average to €245.85², or $278². On top of that comes the Paris tourist tax, charged per adult per night by star rating: €5.53⁹ in a 3-star hotel in 2026, so €11.06² a night for two adults.⁹ The averages are per room, not per person.

Prices by hotel segment

The single average hides a wide spread. The panel splits hotels into segments: super-economy, economy, midscale and upscale.¹ These are the panel's own groups, which it matches roughly to 2-3 star (economy), 3-4 star (midscale) and 4-5 star (upscale) hotels rather than to exact star ratings, and the super-economy segment was not published for Paris before 2026. In 2025 an upscale room cost 2.98² times as much as an economy room.

The average budget hotel price per night in Paris in 2025

In the economy segment, the nearest the panel comes to a budget hotel, a room averaged $141² (€125.2¹) before VAT in 2025, or €137.72² with it.¹ Economy hotels were nearly as full as midscale ones, at 81.8%¹ occupancy. Super-economy hotels, the cheapest group, only appear in the 2026 reports: €76.0¹⁰ ($88²) from January to May 2026.

The average midrange hotel price per night in Paris in 2025

A midscale room cost $201² (€178.0¹) before VAT, or $221² with VAT, with occupancy at 82.2%¹, the highest of any segment. Upscale hotels charged $421² and filled 78.5%¹ of their rooms, so they earned the most per available room despite being the emptiest.

Every segment is far dearer than before the pandemic. Comparing the full years 2019 and 2025, the upscale average rose 49.1%², and the midscale and economy averages each rose by about a third.^{3 1} The top end pulled away fastest.

In dollars the rise is a little larger, because each euro bought fewer dollars in 2019 than in 2025. An economy room went from about $106² in 2019 to $141² in 2025, a midscale room from $152² to $201², and an upscale room from $280² to $421². For an American visitor, the upscale night alone costs about $141² more than six years earlier.

The average hotel price per night in Paris in 2026

From January to May 2026 the Paris average was €208.7¹⁰ ($242²), 2.7%¹⁰ above the same months of 2025 as restated by the panel, with occupancy at 78.7%¹⁰. Those are the off-season and spring months, so the full-year figure will end higher once summer and autumn are in: in 2025 the January-May average was first published as €204.6¹¹, and the full year ended at €223.5¹.

With the super-economy segment now published, the full spread inside Paris is wider still: an upscale room cost 4.5² times a super-economy room in the first five months of 2026. Every segment's average was higher than a year earlier, from 1.9%¹⁰ in the economy segment to 3.0%¹⁰ in the midscale one.

Prices by month

Paris hotel prices peak with the city's big events rather than with the summer holidays. Over the twelve months from June 2025 to May 2026, the monthly average ran from €176.8¹² ($205²) in February to €299.4¹³ ($338²) in June, a month that combined the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget with other major events.^{13 12} In euros, September and October were the next most expensive months.

The average hotel price in Paris per night in July 2025

July 2025 averaged €224.0¹⁴ ($253²) a night, 19.2%¹⁴ less than the Olympic July of 2024 as restated by the panel, while occupancy rose 11.9¹⁴ points to 83.2%¹⁴. August is the real summer low for prices: €185.2¹⁵ ($209²) in 2025, 35.5%¹⁵ below the Olympic August a year earlier, again against the panel's restated figure. Revenue per available room follows the same pattern but more steeply, because occupancy and price rise together in the busy months: it ran from $153² in February 2026 to $303² in June 2025.

The average hotel price per night in Paris in December 2025

December 2025 averaged €217.3¹ ($246²), 7.4%¹ more than a year earlier as restated by the panel, and 80.1%¹ of rooms were sold. That was above November (€206.0¹⁸) but below the September and October levels.

The average hotel price in Paris in January 2026 per night

January 2026 averaged €199.6¹⁹ ($232²) a night with occupancy at 72.5%¹⁹, and February was cheaper still. The segments move together through the year, but the gap between them widens in peak months: in June 2025 an upscale room averaged €499.5¹³, while an economy room averaged €164.1¹³; in February 2026 the same two segments averaged €288.4¹² and €105.6¹².^{13 12}

The 2024 Olympics effect

The summer of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games shows how a single event can move the whole market. Prices rose sharply while occupancy fell.^{23 15} Comparing 2024 with 2023 month by month, as the panel publishes it, separates the event from the usual seasonal swing.

The average hotel price in Paris in July 2024

In July 2024 the Paris average reached €283.2²⁴ ($307²), 21.1%²⁴ more than in July 2023, and in August €293.4²³ ($318²), up 60.7%²³. June, the run-up month, went the other way: €262.9²⁵, down 14.8%²⁵ on June 2023.

The table below sets each 2024 month against the same month a year earlier. Occupancy fell by 12.8²⁵ points in June and 10.6²⁴ points in July, yet the price jump in July and August more than made up for it: RevPAR rose 58.8%²³ in August. September and October 2024 were cheaper than a year before.

The official occupancy figures tell the same story.³³ Paris hotels filled 70.1%³³ of their rooms in July 2024, against 81.4%³³ in July 2023, a drop of 11.3² points; June fell by 11.4² points. In July 2025 occupancy was back at 81.5%³³.

Every segment's average rose in July and August 2024. Upscale rooms averaged €496.4²⁴ in July and €496.6²³ in August, and the economy average rose the most in August, by 71.2%²³.

Looking back from 2025, the panel's restated figures confirm the size of the jump: the July 2025 report implies a July 2024 average of about €277.2², and August 2025 came in 35.5%¹⁵ below August 2024.^{14 15} For travelers, the lesson of 2024 is that a major event can turn an ordinary holiday month into the most expensive month of the year, while the hotels themselves end up emptier than usual.

Demand: guest nights, visitors and length of stay

High prices have not kept guests away. Paris hotels recorded 41.9 million² guest nights in 2025, 8.8%² more than in 2024 and 10.3%² more than in 2019, the highest figure since this series starts in 2011.³³ The pandemic years are left out of the chart: nights fell to 11.0 million² in 2020 and 15.4 million² in 2021. Our straight-line trend, fitted to the other years, is a calculation, not a forecast.

The Olympic year shows in the totals too: nights dipped to 38.6 million² in 2024 from 39.6 million² in 2023, before the jump to 41.9 million² in 2025.

About two in three nights are sold to foreign guests: 68.0%³³ in 2025, close to the 66.3%³³ of 2019. The share dipped to 63.5%³³ in 2016 and to 51.6%³³ in 2021, when travel restrictions kept foreign visitors out. The 2025 share matches the 68.0%³³ of 2018, the highest in the series, so the record number of nights in 2025 came from French and foreign guests alike rather than from a shift between them.

Counting guests rather than nights, arrivals reached 18.5 million² in 2025 by our sum of the monthly figures, 8.5%² above 2019. Foreign arrivals grew 11.3%² over the same years, French arrivals 4.5%².³³

The average stay is short and stable: 2.27² nights per hotel arrival in 2025, against 2.23² in 2019 and 2.37² in 2011, by our division of nights by arrivals. A typical guest pays the nightly rate two or three times, not a week's worth.

Within the year, guest nights peak in July even though prices do not. July 2025 had 3.87 million² hotel nights, 1.43² times February's 2.72 million².³³ So July fills the most beds without carrying the highest prices, which came in June.

Arrivals show who drives each season. Foreign guests peak in summer, with 1.08 million² arrivals in July 2025, while French guests peak in November, at 755 thousand², and dip in August to 478 thousand².³³

The first eight months of 2026 run slightly ahead of 2025 on occupancy: June 2026 reached 88.7%³³ against 87.6%³³ a year earlier, and July 82.2%³³.³³

Where the rooms are: hotels by star rating and arrondissement

Paris had 1,629⁴ hotels with 87,546⁴ rooms on January 1, 2026, an average of 53.7² rooms per hotel.⁴ The stock leans to the middle and upper end: 3-star and 4-star hotels hold 76.6%² of all rooms.

Counting rooms instead of hotels changes the order. There are fewer 4-star hotels than 3-star ones (546⁴ against 689⁴), but they are larger, with 65.6² rooms each against 45.4², so they hold the most rooms of any class: 35,820⁴, or 40.9%² of the total. The 5-star class, palaces included, adds 9,505⁴ rooms, 10.9%² of the city's stock.⁴

The rooms are not spread evenly. The 8th arrondissement, around the Champs-Élysées, has the most, 9,281⁴, or 10.6%² of the city total, and 40.5%² of all 5-star rooms.⁴ The 9th, 15th and 17th follow. The central 3rd and 4th have few rooms, and 6² arrondissements, mostly in the south and east, have no 5-star hotel at all.

Ranked, the gap between districts is large: the 8th has 7.9² times the rooms of the 4th (1,171⁴). The 9th, 15th and 17th each have more than 7,600⁴ rooms, and the 14th and 10th follow with 7,048⁴ and 5,794⁴.⁴

Luxury rooms are the most concentrated of all. The 8th has 3,853⁴ 5-star rooms, the 1st 1,484⁴ and the 9th 1,003⁴, while the 12th to the 15th and the 19th and 20th have none.⁴ In the 8th, 41.5%² of all rooms are 5-star.

Taxes on top of the room rate

The Paris tourist tax per person per night in 2026 at a hotel

Every adult guest pays a tourist tax (taxe de séjour) per night, set by the hotel's star rating and collected by the hotel. In 2026 it is €5.53⁹ ($6.42²) in a 3-star hotel, €8.45⁹ in a 4-star and €15.93⁹ in a palace.⁹ Minors, seasonal workers, people in emergency or temporary housing and Paris residents are exempt, and the 2027 rates are unchanged.³⁴ In a hotel that is not rated, the tax is 5%⁹ of the nightly price per person before VAT plus the surcharges, capped at €15.93⁹.⁹

Most of the tax does not go to the city. An extra regional levy of 200%⁹ funds the Île-de-France public transport authority, on top of a 10%⁹ departmental and a 15%⁹ regional surcharge.⁹ For a 3-star hotel, the transport levy alone is €3.40⁹, 61.5%² of the total.

The same split holds for every category, because the three surcharges are fixed percentages of the city rate. For a 3-star room, the tax is 3.25² times what the city itself charges.

What a typical stay costs

Hotel guests in Paris stayed 2.27² nights on average in 2025. At the 2025 average rate with VAT, €245.85² a night, the room for such a stay comes to about €558² ($631²). Two adults in a 3-star hotel add about €25.11² of tourist tax over the same stay.

The segment matters more than the length of stay. The same 2.27² nights with VAT cost about €313² in an economy room, €444² in a midscale room and €931² in an upscale one, as yearly averages. Prices are per room, so two people sharing pay one rate; only the tourist tax is charged per adult, and hotels may quote it separately, so check the total before booking.

How Paris compares with other French cities

Among the French cities charted below, Paris has the second highest average rate, behind Cannes, whose hotels averaged €474.7¹ in 2025.¹ A Paris room cost 1.76² times the France average of €126.9¹ and almost twice the Lyon average. Menton (€187.2¹) and Nice (€181.7¹) come next, followed by Biarritz, Antibes-Juan-les-Pins and Annecy; the other large cities charted stay below €120¹.

What these prices mean for a trip to Paris

For most visitors the month and the class of hotel are the two levers they control. The same average room cost $205² in February 2026 and $338² in June 2025. Choosing a midscale hotel over an upscale one saves even more, and the economy segment is cheaper still, with hotels nearly as full as midscale ones.

Big events change the rules. The Olympic summer of 2024 showed that rates can jump by more than half in weeks when demand is expected, even if the hotels then sell fewer rooms. Other big events work the same way on a smaller scale: June 2025, the month of the Paris Air Show, was the most expensive month in the reports collected.¹³

The city's hotel stock also limits where each class of hotel can be found. With 1,629⁴ hotels, most of them 3-star or 4-star, the outer east has little choice: the 19th and 20th together have 4,079² rooms and no 5-star hotel.⁴

None of these averages is a quote. They are what hotels earned per room sold over a month or a year, not advertised prices, so a single booking can land well above or below them. They are best used to judge whether a price is high or low for the season and the class of hotel.

Conclusions

1. Paris hotels are a third dearer than in 2019, and just as full. The average rate rose from €165.3³ to €223.5¹ with occupancy at 80.7%¹ against 80.8%³, and guest nights hit a record 41.9 million² in 2025.
2. The calendar sets the price more than the season. June (€299.4¹³), September and October cost more than July and August; February is 41%² cheaper than June.
3. The Olympics raised prices but not occupancy. July and August 2024 rates rose 21.1%²⁴ and 60.7%²³ while July occupancy fell 11.3² points; by July 2025 occupancy was back above 80%³³ at much lower prices.
4. The headline average understates the bill. VAT adds 10%⁸ and two adults in a 3-star hotel add €11.06² a night of tourist tax, 61.5%² of which funds regional transport.
5. Luxury rooms sit in a few districts. The 8th arrondissement alone has 10.6%² of the city's rooms and 40.5%² of its 5-star rooms.
