Vegan Hotels in Paris: HOY Paris and 3 Honest Alternatives
Among vegan hotels in Paris, one stands apart: HOY Paris in the 9th arrondissement is the only hotel we could confirm with a fully plant-based restaurant serving every meal. The city’s five-star hotels publish no vegan menus, so for luxury travelers the choice is between HOY’s built-in plant-based kitchen and a grander hotel where vegan meals are arranged on request.

How we researched this. We have not stayed at these hotels, so this is a researched guide, not a set of reviews. Every statement about food comes from the MICHELIN Guide, the hotel’s own website or a named publication, checked on 8 October 2026. Where a hotel publishes nothing about plant-based dining, we say so, and where a source is old, we give its date.
Vegan Hotels in Paris at a Glance
The short answer: HOY Paris is the best of the vegan hotels in Paris. It is a 21-room yoga hotel at 68 rue des Martyrs in the 9th arrondissement, listed in the MICHELIN Guide, and its restaurant Mesa is 100% plant-based for breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch. No five-star hotel in Paris publishes a vegan menu. The Grand Hotel du Palais Royal offers a detox breakfast, and the Shangri-La Paris and the Hidden Hotel cook plant-based only on request.
| Rank | Hotel | Where | Plant-based dining on record | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | HOY Paris – Yoga Hotel | 9th, Pigalle | Restaurant Mesa is 100% plant-based, all meals | Fully plant-based kitchen |
| 2 | Grand Hotel du Palais Royal | 1st, Palais-Royal | Detox breakfast option; no vegan menu published | By request, five-star |
| 3 | Shangri-La Paris | 16th | Nothing on its current dining pages; a vegan afternoon tea was reported in 2019 | By request |
| 4 | Hidden Hotel | 17th, Arc de Triomphe | Nothing published; natural materials throughout | By request, four-star |
What Counts as a Vegan Hotel?
A vegan hotel serves no animal products anywhere on the property, from breakfast to the minibar. A hotel with a fully plant-based kitchen, like HOY Paris, comes close: everything its restaurant serves is vegan. A vegan-friendly hotel runs a mixed kitchen but publishes plant-based menus. A by-request hotel will usually cook vegan if you ask ahead, but puts nothing in writing.
Paris is unusual. It has one of the world’s best plant-based restaurants and a hotel built around a vegan kitchen, yet its grandest hotels still treat vegan guests as a special request. That gap is why this guide to vegan hotels in Paris ranks a 21-room boutique hotel above the five-stars.
The 4 Vegan Hotels in Paris Worth Booking, Ranked
1. HOY Paris – the Only Hotel With a Fully Plant-Based Restaurant
HOY Paris is the clear first choice among vegan hotels in Paris. It is a 21-room yoga hotel at 68 rue des Martyrs, on the slope between Pigalle and the Opera, and it is part of the MICHELIN Guide’s hotel selection.
Its restaurant and bar, Mesa, is 100% plant-based and serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch. The MICHELIN Guide’s inspectors describe it as “a vegan restaurant by the team behind London’s Plant Academy,” with chefs Lauren Lovatt and Carolina Rodriguez in the kitchen. For a vegan traveler, that means no negotiation at any meal.
The rest of the hotel is built around yoga and rest. There is a yoga studio running five to eight classes a day and a wellness centre offering massage and meditation. Sortir a Paris notes that the rooms have no screens, and listed rooms from 200 euros a night in its February 2024 update.
HOY is a boutique hotel, not a palace. If you want marble lobbies and a concierge desk, rank it lower. If you want every meal to be plant-based without asking, nothing else in Paris comes close.
Best for: vegans and yoga travelers who want a fully plant-based kitchen downstairs and a quieter, residential corner of the city.

2. Grand Hotel du Palais Royal – Five Stars and a Detox Breakfast
The Grand Hotel du Palais Royal is a five-star hotel at 4 rue de Valois in the 1st arrondissement, beside the Palais-Royal gardens. It is the strongest luxury option for plant-based travelers who want a central address.
Its breakfast comes in two versions, a traditional American breakfast or a detox breakfast that includes sliced avocado on organic gluten-free toast, served in the dining room, on the terrace or in your room. The hotel restaurant is Cafe 52. Neither the breakfast page nor the hotel mentions a vegan menu, so ask for vegan versions when you book.
Best for: travelers who want five-star service in the centre of Paris and will arrange plant-based dinners outside the hotel.
3. Shangri-La Paris – Ask About the Vegan Afternoon Tea
Shangri-La Paris sits in the 16th arrondissement. Its current dining pages list Les Salons du Prince, Le Bar Botaniste, the Chinese restaurant Shang Palace and the bistro Maison Roland, and they mention no vegan, vegetarian or plant-based menu.
There is history here. In 2019, Vegan Food Quest reported a fully vegan afternoon tea and a vegan section at the breakfast buffet. The restaurants named in that review have since changed, so treat it as a reason to ask, not a promise.
Best for: travelers who want a grand hotel near the Eiffel Tower and are happy to confirm vegan breakfast and afternoon tea in writing before arrival.
4. Hidden Hotel – Natural Materials, Plant-Based on Request
The Hidden Hotel is a four-star hotel of 35 rooms at 28 rue de l’Arc de Triomphe in the 17th. It is built around natural materials, with COCO-MAT mattresses made from natural latex and coconut fibre, and serves a breakfast of homemade products and freshly pressed juice.
The hotel publishes no vegan menu. It ranks here because the low-impact feel suits many plant-based travelers, not because the food is planned for them.
Best for: travelers who care about natural materials and a calm room near the Champs-Elysees, and who will eat most meals out.

Where to Eat Near Vegan Hotels in Paris
Two tables matter most for anyone staying at vegan hotels in Paris. Both are fully plant-based.
| Restaurant | Where | What it is | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arpege | 84 rue de Varenne, 7th | Three MICHELIN stars, chef Alain Passard, entirely free of animal protein | Lunch only, Monday to Friday, 12:00 to 2:30pm |
| Mesa at HOY Paris | 68 rue des Martyrs, 9th | 100% plant-based hotel restaurant | Breakfast, lunch, dinner and brunch |
Arpege is the reason many plant-based travelers come to Paris at all. Alain Passard’s restaurant has been vegetable-led since 2001, holds three stars in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide, and is now entirely free of animal protein, with produce from his own kitchen gardens. The MICHELIN page lists it as open for lunch only, Monday to Friday, so plan your days around it.

How to Get a Vegan Meal at a Luxury Hotel in Paris
Three of the four vegan hotels in Paris on this list work by request. These steps make that reliable.
- Write before you book. Ask whether the kitchen can serve a fully vegan breakfast and dinner, and ask for a sample menu.
- Use the right words. In French, vegan is végétalien or vegan, and vegetarian is végétarien. List what you do not eat.
- Name the hidden ingredients. Ask about butter in pastry and sauces, cream in soups, and egg in fresh pasta and desserts.
- Confirm again 48 hours ahead and once more at check-in.
- Book Arpege or Mesa for at least one meal, so a weak hotel answer does not cost you a day.
A message you can adapt:
We are staying from [dates] and eat a fully vegan diet: no meat, fish, dairy, eggs or honey. Could the kitchen prepare a vegan breakfast each morning and a vegan dinner on [date]? A sample menu would help us plan. Thank you.
