Traveling is partly stressful. You're bound by the rules of a jam- packed itinerary, on top of no time to fully fray the jet lag. It's no doubt that you heart will itch for a silent sanctuary to recoup for lost energies.
There's also a recent study by J.D. Power that says most of the 53, 000 travelers surveyed encounter problems with ranked noise at hotels-- either brought by street drillers or door- slamming guests.
The thing is, you can be as intentional with your choice on the best place to exercise your rights to silence. It will depend on which you prefer to experience most-- a quiet place that overlooks a hundred acre woods or a quiet place at the atrium of the city? Whichever the case, expect that you cannot always find a place with all the A- list criteria combined.
For the meantime, below are hotels I suggest you to check in to give your sleep and rest impediments a fair remedy, or so I say:
1. Hotel du Jeu de Paume
This hotel is earning good reviews for being clean, well- decorated, and intimate. It is suggestive of a Parisian atmosphere. In fact you can reach Notre Dame, shopping spots, wonderful restaurants, and most of the Metro stations by dint of easy walking. But you can still sleep without having your ears blanketed with pillows. It has access to wifi connection and staffs replenish the toiletries everyday.
Location: 54 Rue St. Louis en Ile, 75004 Paris (Hotel de Ville)
2. Jays Paris

This is considered an enormously quiet hotel in the 16th arroundisement. You can never go wrong with the rooms, only that it has no elevator so care to pick one in the lower floors. Concierge arranges airport transfers besides the fact that they will specially welcome you upon arrival.
You can speak to the staffs in English, or practice your French without getting snickered for your novice- ness (if that's even a word). Also meet your fascinating neighbors, Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees, and Eiffel Tower. Aaahh, how about a 5- star experience like that?
Location: 6 Rue Copernic, 16th Arroundisment, 75016 Paris
3. Secret de Paris

Would you even think twice at the thought of its name? If that looking-at-the-Eiffel-from-a-terrace scenario in your mind is hardly possible to realize, this is the right place to go. Because the rooms are designed after the most frequented tourist spots in Paris being the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, and of course Eiffel Tower. It is perfectly quiet and romantic, best for those who dared tie the knot.
Location: 2 Rue de Parme, 75009 Paris
4. Hotel Fouquet's Barriere

This is a clean and tidy hotel located at the corner of Champs Elysees. Probably one with excellent sound proofing despite being close to swanky tourist areas. But not the best-est one for comfort. However spas and pool areas are well - appointed and it offers a courtyard for you to dote on peacefulness.
It also has a touch of discretion as you won't have to always pass through the reception area where customers crowd.
Location: 46 Avenue George V, 08 Arroundisement, 75008 Paris (Champ Elysees)
5. Hotel Luxembourg Parc

This hotel is also walking distance from St. Germain and Notre Dame. It has a quiet and inviting atmosphere as it is more of a private residence than a hotel. It has rooms that offer views of the peaceful garden-- a view that might be a good option to rest your eyes after seeing so much of the cosmopolitan Paris.
It is 10- 15 minutes away from shopping spots and museums, but the rooms are astoundingly guzzled with a French aura.
Location: 42 Rue de Vaugirard, 6th Arroundisement, 75006 Paris
I hope this post helped. Here is where you can also find quiet places to dine in Paris, just in case. Stay tuned on my next post for The Quiet City [Paris] Travel Series!
