Montmartre keeps its village feel above the rest of the 18th, where hidden hotel gardens and Abbesses cafes sit a short climb below Sacre-Coeur. The list below covers the rooms our editors return to, from a secret conservatory bar to a rooftop with an Eiffel Tower view. Compare them with our best rooftop bars in Paris and the full Paris bar guide.
Avenue Junot · $$$
Le Tres Particulier hides inside the Hotel Particulier on Avenue Junot, reached through a discreet garden gate. The conservatory bar and leafy terrace feel cut off from the city below. Book ahead, since the room is small.
Rue Joseph de Maistre · $$$
The rooftop bar at the Terrass Hotel looks across Montmartre rooftops toward the Eiffel Tower. The seventh floor terrace runs cocktails through the evening. It is one of the few high views on the Butte.
Rue des Abbesses · $$
Le Vrai Paris sits on Rue des Abbesses as a classic Montmartre cafe bar with a busy terrace. It works for an aperitif before the climb toward Sacre-Coeur. The room stays casual and local.
Boulevard de Clichy · $$
La Machine du Moulin Rouge runs three floors of club and live music beside the Moulin Rouge at the foot of Montmartre. The rooms cover electronic nights and concerts. It is a late venue rather than a quiet bar.
