Hôtel Costes
A moody, fashion-world boutique hotel on rue Saint-Honoré famous for its bar, courtyard, and soundtrack.

What you're near — and what you're not
- Rue Saint-Honoré flagship shopping
- Tuileries and the 1er
- Place Vendôme
- Left Bank and Marais are a ride away
- Not a quiet retreat — the scene is the point
What you're paying for
Theatrical, dimly lit rooms layered in rich fabrics and antiques — atmospheric rather than bright. Best for short, stylish stays; light-seekers will find them dark. Courtyard-facing rooms put you closest to the action.
Plan it well
- Cost
- High; design/scene premium
- Timing
- Year-round; the courtyard shines in warm months
- Booking
- Direct; book the courtyard separately
- Getting there
- Rue Saint-Honoré; Tuileries/Concorde metro nearby
