Tips:
- If you want to stay close to the business district as well as the boutiques, Opera district is ideal. But beware of the avenues with heavy traffic and numerous metro stations. Instead, go for the side streets in the area.
- La Défense is convenient for business travellers and guaranteed to be quiet at night. However it is not known to be very safe. This seems to be improving as the area is being further developed.
- May be a bit expensive, but 16th arrondissement/Passy/Trocadéro is mostly residential and does have some quiet hotels.
- Montmartre/Pigalle is trendy and the nightlife could be attractive. But it is not the best area to look for quiet hotels in Paris. There is a fair number of noisy streets.
