Paris may be the City of Love, but planning a trip to the large metropolis is far from simple, cute, or romantic.

You need to balance a range of pricey, important factors, from which arrondissement to stay in to figuring out transportation to deciding which tours to take. Toss in things like day trips and date nights, and putting together a well-rounded visit to Paris becomes… a lot.
By far, one of the most important decisions to make is finding a place to stay. You can find classy boutiques around the city that are ideal for romantic escapes, but they’ll drain your budget quickly.
Instead, I recommend looking for romantic Airbnbs in Paris that come with perks that will actually get you in the mood… like elevators, air conditioning, and a soaking tub. Here’s where to find them around the city, whether you want to stay in the 2nd arrondissement or drift further from the historic center.

Best romantic Airbnbs in Paris for couples
ONIRI
The main feature that makes this one-bedroom Airbnb so luxurious is the amount of space included. Though it’s not much larger than other romantic Airbnbs in Paris, the apartment is designed to feel grand, with towering ceilings and elegant design features. It almost feels like a boutique hotel, with a luxury interior and cozy additions like the soaking tub. It also overlooks the Seine, offering an enviable location on the Quai des Grands Augustins.
Design Studio & Terrace
This one-bedroom offers a cozy terrace with excellent city views from the 8th floor, but its real appeal is its location in the 2nd arrondissement. It’s close to Garnier Opera, Jardin des Tuileries, and Passage Choiseul. Great views and location aside, this unique unit has been designed with discerning travelers in mind, with features that couples will appreciate, like a king-sized bed with five-star bedding and a smart design that maximizes the space.
Hidden Gem St Sauveur
This one-bedroom offers a boutique hotel feel and comes with amenities that couples will enjoy, from the warm décor to the historic features to the location in the Sentier district. It’s also managed by the Habitat Parisien team, guaranteeing you have support anytime you need it. They even offer an ‘a la carte’ service menu, including housekeeping, gastronomy services, room service, champagne delivery, and private airport transfers.
Paris’s Stunning Gem
The setup of this one-bedroom is very simple and framed around its excellent, romantic Eiffel Tower views. It’s about as close as you can get to the tower without paying luxury, premium rates. Even better, you’re on Champs de Mar, a historic but vibrant area in the 7th arrondissement close to both nightlife and galleries. It’s also close to Les Invalides.
Elysee’s Residence
Paris isn’t exactly known for its private terraces and rooftops. However, this one-bedroom has an enviable outdoor area that couples will love. The plants lining the terrace offer the space much-needed greenery, along with the chance to unwind outdoors. You’ll want that space to yourself as you carve through the busy Parisian streets, making this home a rejuvenating and spa-like gem. Recent guests recommend enjoying the sunrise.
Louvre – Design & Luxury
The terrace mentioned in the rental above will give you an added sense of space, but if you’re after added square footage, go with this one-bedroom in the first arrondissement. It’s got an open living room and kitchen with cozy features like a fireplace and a unique setup that includes a shower in the hallway. Spaciousness and design aside, the home also has a central location close to the Louvre, Jardin des Tuileries, and more.
Marais Studio
Want to feel like you’re staying in a brand-new boutique hotel? This studio-style serviced apartment has unique features that maximize the small space, including inlaid lighting features, a small dining booth, a marble-and-stone bathroom, and a ‘cinema’-style TV. Despite the compact arrangement, you also have a washer-dryer. Couples will also appreciate the proximity to major attractions and multiple metro lines.
Chic Escape
If you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg to explore Paris with your lover, this studio has a clean, functional setup at an affordable price. It’s a two-floor setup with the bedroom up top and the kitchenette and bathroom below. With AC and a central location, the basics are there—but know that this is a compact space without a full kitchen. It’s ideal for shorter stays.
Cozy Studio
Here’s another small-but-cozy one-bedroom with an affordable price. It’s larger than the last, and comes with a full kitchen, plus added amenities like a washer-dryer and AC. The one-bedroom is located in the second arrondissement, offering a central location to major attractions and public transportation. Savings aside, this unit also offers a trendy, boutique-style interior, but you need to climb two flights of stairs—no elevator is available.
