Overview
Paris needs no introduction -- the City of Light has been the world's most visited capital for centuries. From the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre to charming Montmartre streets and world-class patisseries, Paris embodies romance, art, and joie de vivre in every arrondissement.
For points travelers, Paris offers solid redemptions through Hyatt's Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome (one of the most prestigious addresses in the city) as well as through extensive Marriott and Hilton portfolios. The key is booking during shoulder season when cash rates are highest relative to points costs.
Beyond the iconic landmarks, Paris rewards those who wander -- discover hidden passages, neighborhood bistros, weekend markets, and riverside bookstalls that make every visit feel new. The city's compact size and excellent Metro system make it easy to explore without a car.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Paris range from $108 to $1683 per night. Points redemptions offer 6.38+ cents per point value.
