The Closest Hotel to The Louvre

Where: 2, Place des Pyramides , Paris, France, 75001

Anyone who's ever attempted to tour the Louvre Musuem in Paris will tell you that there is no way to see the entire museum in a day. In fact, it might take you an entire week or two, especially if you are one of those people who stop and read everything. Or if you like those audio tours.

So if the Louvre is high on your To Do list for Paris, you can get no closer than the Hotel Regina which is located on Rue di Rivoli directly across from The Louvre. Most rooms even have views of the museum and the Tuileries.

Most of the TripAdvisor reviews on the hotel are positive with, of course, the hotel's excellent location getting top billing.

What we liked actually can be found on the hotel's own website. On the homepage is a video so you can see what the hotel is really like from the moment you enter the lobby to inside your room. You get to see staffers hard at work to service you and you can see the interiors of the hotel. And it's not just freeze frames either. You can really get a good look inside the hotel. This is a good and a bad thing. We like the video but we are a little concerned about those thin pink blankets on the bed. Still, we give this hotel an "A" for embracing technology on their website.

Room rates start around 375 Euros a night.

Looking for a Budget Hotel Near the Louvre? Try The Hôtel Therèse

Where: 5-7, rue Thérèse , Paris, France, 75001

We know you weren't entirely convinced by our advice to stay out of the so-called 'centre' of Paris.....so if you can't resist looking for a hotel in sightseeing land, here's the soft option: the Hôtel Therèse.

It's in the first arrondissement of Paris - think the Louvre, Tuileries gardens, Opera and all that jazz. And it's one of the best of a rather pricey bunch of poor hotels in the area. Walking distance to most places in the first chapter of your guide book.
