How we chose these hotels
An address belongs to the 18th when its geocoded point lies within the arrondissement. Among the classified tourist hotels, we ranked first the hotels checked by hand (there are nine in the arrondissement, and all appear here, from five stars to two), then, to complete the list, the hotels read by machine, spread across categories and sorted by straight-line distance to the nearest station. The last three on the page come from the automatic reading of their websites, so we state only their category, rooms, address, metro and dated facts. Le Chat Noir (four stars) and the Kyriad Porte de Clignancourt (three stars), better placed, have no file with us. What a hotel says of itself is marked as such. We publish no prices.

Walking times come from the coordinates, multiplied by 1.3 at 80 m a minute. The Ibis Paris Ornano Montmartre Nord, a three-star hotel at the same distance as the Bellevue, was not kept, nor were the Elysée Montmartre, the Mercure Butte Montmartre Basilique and the Hôtel des Arts Montmartre, three four-star hotels read by machine.
Where to stay in the 18th
Most of the twelve belong to the hill of Montmartre, so the first choice is your approach to the slope.

- The foot of the hill, around Blanche and Pigalle. Blanche (line 2) is the nearest station to Manolita (100 m), Be You (50 m), Beaumont (100 m), 29 Lepic (300 m) and Terrass” (450 m). Our data places the nightlife at the foot of the butte: the Moulin Rouge and music halls such as La Cigale.
- The Abbesses and the upper streets. Regyn’s, Timhotel, Monsieur Aristide, Marcel Aymé and BOHEM are on line 12 or near the funicular, with the Sacré-Cœur and the vines above.
- Anvers. Mom’Art and Bellevue lie on rue d’Orsel, between the funicular and line 2.
For a first visit the data rates Montmartre as possible: it has the Sacré-Cœur and the place du Tertre, but is off-centre in the north. For couples it is recommended, and for a small budget too, as 33 of the 51 classified hotels of the Grandes-Carrières and Clignancourt districts have one to three stars. Families find family rooms, for example at BOHEM, Marcel Aymé, Monsieur Aristide and 29 Lepic, but the slopes and the crowds complicate a pushchair.
The tourist tax in 2026 is €8.45 per adult per night in a four-star hotel, €5.53 in a three-star and €3.25 in a two-star. For the hill itself and its southern foot, see Montmartre hotels and Pigalle hotels.
