My experience using misterb&b in Paris dates back a long way. As someone who’s stayed in over 30 cities with the app—returning to Paris nearly a dozen times—I’ve become something of an expert when it comes to choosing the right gay hotel or gay-friendly hotel for every kind of trip.
Whether I’m here for Pride, a romantic getaway, or just craving croissants and queer nightlife, I always want more than just a clean room. I want charm, comfort, safety, and proximity to the beating heart of gay Paris. And trust me, misterb&b makes that part easy.
My Top 3 Gay & Gay-Friendly Hotels in Paris
I've selected three standout places for you that I’ve personally tested in the French capital—each with a unique vibe, united by great value, queer-friendliness, and perfect locations.
Generator Paris
I stayed at Generator Paris during a quick spring trip. The rooms are bright and modern, and the rooftop terrace with views of Sacré-Cœur was the perfect place to start the night.
I had the opportunity to test both shared and private rooms, which are ideally suited for solo travelers or groups.
“It was a great youthful experience with interesting travelers from all over the world.”

Color Design Hotel
I stayed at this stylish, boutique, gay-friendly hotel nestled on a peaceful street in the 12th arrondissement. Every room is designed around color themes—it’s funky without being over-the-top.
I had the opportunity to test a superior double room and enjoyed the calm atmosphere, which is a rarity in Paris.
“Well-kept hotel with a warm welcome. Comfortable rooms and a touch of design. Very competitive price. Calm street with lovely nearby restaurants.”

MIJE Marais Hostel
I stayed at MIJE when I wanted to be right in the middle of the Marais without breaking the bank. This 17th-century building oozes character.
I had the chance to test one of their renovated rooms—modern, cozy, and just steps from the best bars and bakeries in the gay district.
“You can’t get better in the center of Paris! The charm of the old, modern and warm rooms. Perfect bedding worthy of a hotel. Highly recommended.”

From Boutique to Budget: Paris Gay Hotel Options for Every Traveler
Having spent over a decade staying in gay hotels in Paris, I’ve seen the full range—from luxury escapes to cozy hideaways:
- If you love charm, a gay boutique hotel in Le Marais (like Hôtel Jules & Jim or Les Tournelles) is a no-brainer. Think cobbled streets, curated interiors, and local flavor.
- Want indulgence? A gay-friendly hotel like Saint James Paris gives château vibes without leaving the city.
- Looking for connection and budget-friendly comfort? A gay hostel like The People Paris Marais is lively, social, and just a short walk to Sun City or RAIDD.
- Prefer a local gem? Even a retro-style gay motel or gay inn on the Left Bank can offer a peaceful and romantic vibe.
- Dreaming of rustic charm? There are even quaint gay lodges on the outskirts with fireplaces and a countryside aesthetic—perfect for off-season coziness.
🧠 Expert Insight
- Booking windows are short, so alerts and flexibility are key.
- High domestic traffic: explains why a basic “Bonjour!” wins hearts instantly.
- Best value: While five-star luxury is tempting, you’ll find more warmth, style, and community in a solid gay-friendly hotel in the 2 to 3-star range—especially in Le Marais or South Pigalle.
Paris is more than just the City of Love—it’s the City of Love Wins. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or flying solo to explore boulangeries, boutiques, and the boldest LGBTQ+ nightlife in Europe, choosing the right gay hotel or gay-friendly hotel can truly shape your experience.
