Arriving late or with children

Train service from the airports stops around midnight. After that, your options are the Noctilien night buses or fixed-rate taxis, whose fares do not change at night. Be sure to let your hotel know your arrival time: most of our hotels have a 24-hour front desk, and our digital guest experience allows you to check into your room without waiting.

When traveling as a family, children under 4 years old ride for free on public transportation in the Île-de-France region if they do not occupy a seat, and there is a reduced fare for older children. If you have several suitcases and a stroller, a flat-rate taxi is usually a competitive option for groups of three or four people. To choose the right room, check out our guide to family rooms in Paris.

Are you arriving before 3:00 p.m.? Our hotels will store your luggage for free while your room is being prepared, and also after you check out until your flight time.
