Searching for the perfect spot to stay in Paris for the 2024 Olympics might actually be one of the most important decisions you’ll make while here.
While stumbling across a charming bistro may seem like a happy accident, you wouldn’t want to miss the thrill of a 100-meter dash because you picked the wrong neighborhood.
Finding the best area to base yourself while attending the events is crucial, and I’m here to help guide you. Having lived in this lovely city for nearly five years, I’m well-versed in the ins and outs of Parisian neighborhoods.
I’ve created a list of the best areas to stay in for each of the Olympic sports events, and my top picks for hotels in each area.
Let’s dive into where to stay in Paris for the 2024 Olympics so you can find the best hotels and immerse yourself in the excitement of the Summer games!
When is the 2024 Summer Olympics?
Before we find the perfect place to stay in Paris during the Olympics, let’s make sure we know what dates to book for.
The 2024 Summer Olympics will take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
💡 Tip: Because of the popularity of this event, accommodation is likely to fill up fast – so it is crucial to book as far in advance as possible to make sure you get the best rate. I’ve seen some hotels and Airbnbs increase their rates as much as 4x their normal cost for this time period!
Here’s another quick tip for picking the right accommodation: decide whether or not you’re looking for hotels that are more venue-focused, or if you’re more interested in hotels that are good for sightseeing.
- Venue-focused: If your main goal is to attend those Olympic events, grab a hotel near the main venues. These will likely be more expensive, but you’ll be as close as possible to the events you plan on attending.
- Sightseeing: If you’re more into exploring Paris, you choose a spot close to famous monuments, or even an accommodation a bit outside of the city that has transportation connections to the sights you want to visit.
Once we’ve got that decided, let’s decide on the best hotels to stay in for the Olympics!
