16th Arrondissement

Profile

Largely associated with the rich and the conservative, the 16th arrondissement is home to many embassies.

Hotels

A residential district, the 16th Arrondissement nevertheless has a fair number of upscale hotels. Prices also tend to be on the high side - perhaps not as high as in the neighboring 8th Arrondissement, but almost.

Depending on the part of the district you'll choose to stay in, your travel time to Paris' main landmarks may vary, although most hotels actually tend to concentrate in the (relatively) more touristy, eastern portion of the district (roughly between the Seine and Arc de Triomphe).

Hotels in the western portion of the arrondissement, on the other hand, benefit from the proximity to the Bois de Boulogne - a huge park flanking Paris from the west.
