Family-Friendly Hotels

Hôtel de Fleurie -- In the heart of St-Germain-des-Prés, this has long been a Left Bank family favorite. The hotel is known for its chambres familiales -- two connecting rooms with a pair of large beds in each room. Children younger than 12 stay free with a parent.

Hôtel du Ministère -- For the family on a budget that doesn't mind cramped quarters, the Ministère is one of the best bets in this expensive area near the Champs-Elysées.

Résidence Lord Byron -- The Byron is not only a good value and an unusually family-oriented place for the swanky 8th Arrondissement, but also is only a short walk from many major monuments.

Timhôtel Le Louvre -- This is an especially convenient choice because it offers some rooms with four beds for the price of a double. The location near the Louvre is irresistible.
