The best places to base yourself in Paris
The 1st arrondissement, around the Louvre and the Place Vendôme, is home to the Ritz and the Mandarin Oriental; the 8th, off the Champs-Élysées, holds the Four Seasons George V and the Plaza Athénée. For a quieter, more residential stay, Saint-Germain on the Left Bank and Le Marais reward travelers who want to live among the city rather than above it.
Paris hotel rates move with the season and the source. Vio compares more than a hundred booking sites at once — palace hotels, boutiques, and apartments — so the right arrondissement comes at the right price.

Arriving in Paris by private jet
Paris-Le Bourget (LBG) is the largest and busiest business-aviation airport in Europe, just northeast of the city with multiple FBOs and a private arrival measured in minutes, not the hours a commercial terminal demands.
Elite Jet sources the aircraft for the route — super-midsize or heavy for the European and transatlantic legs Paris anchors — and arranges the Le Bourget handling and the car into the city as one seamless arrangement.
