Expedia vs Hotels.com in Paris
Year-round demand keeps central Paris pricing high — Le Marais and Saint-Germain stays rarely dip below £140/night even off-peak. The 10th (Canal Saint-Martin), 11th (Bastille/Oberkampf), and 19th (Buttes-Chaumont) arrondissements run 25–40% cheaper than the Right Bank tourist core, with strong Metro links into the centre in 15 minutes. Eurostar from London St Pancras lands at Gare du Nord in 2h 16min and is competitive with flying once airport transfers are factored in. Fashion Week (late February and late September) and the Roland-Garros tennis (late May to early June) drive the largest price spikes. The new Paris 2024 Olympic transport upgrades made Saint-Denis and Pleyel viable budget bases — Metro line 14 reaches Châtelet in 12 minutes. Headline rate in Paris runs £110–£380/night — both sites pull from the same inventory, so the price you see for a given property is almost always the same. Differences come from coupon stacking and member-only rates.

Which site to use for Paris
- Just want the cheapest hotel — check both; cheapest wins. Coupon promotions in Paris typically run on one site or the other (rarely both), so a 30-second compare often saves £5–£15/night.
- Adding flights from the UK — Expedia. Their flight + hotel package to Paris typically saves 10–30% versus booking separately.
- Wanting full cancellation flexibility — Hotels.com's "Fully refundable" filter is faster to apply at the results-page level. Both sites honour the same merchant policies once you book.
- Want activities in Paris too — Expedia carries tours and experiences for Paris in the same booking flow. Hotels.com doesn't.
