CDG or Orly Airport: How to Get to Your Hotel in Paris

From Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle Airport, the easiest way to get into Paris is the RER B, which runs directly to Gare du Nord, Châtelet-Les Halles, and the Latin Quarter in about forty minutes. From Orly, Metro Line 14 takes you to central Paris without changing trains in under 40 minutes. In both cases, you’ll need a special €14 ticket. Taxis, meanwhile, charge a fixed fare depending on which side of the Seine your hotel is on.

From Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle

The RER B, the most direct option

The RER B connects the airport to the heart of Paris, stopping at Gare du Nord, Châtelet-Les Halles, Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, Luxembourg, and Denfert-Rochereau, among others. Depending on your hotel, you can either get off at the appropriate station or transfer to the metro.

The journey requires the Paris Région <> Aéroports ticket, at €14 full fare and €7 reduced fare. It is valid on the RER and metro all the way to your final destination. It can be loaded onto a Navigo Easy pass or a smartphone: the standard metro ticket is not accepted for airport journeys.

The Roissybus no longer operates

The Roissybus shuttle between Opéra and the airport stopped running on February 28, 2026. It has been replaced by express bus line 9517, which connects the airport to Saint-Denis Pleyel, where you can transfer to Metro Line 14.

Arriving late or with children

Train service from the airports stops around midnight. After that, you can take the Noctilien night buses or a flat-rate taxi, whose fare does not change at night. Be sure to let the hotel know your arrival time: most of our hotels have a 24-hour front desk, and our digital guest experience allows you to check in without waiting.

For families, children under 4 ride for free on public transportation in the Île-de-France region if they do not occupy a seat, and a reduced fare is available for older children. With several suitcases and a stroller, a flat-rate taxi often becomes a cost-effective option for three or four travelers. To choose the right room, see our guide to family rooms in Paris.

Arriving before 3 p.m.? Our hotels will store your luggage free of charge until your room is ready, and after check-out until it's time for your flight.
