Okay so September in Paris? Literally the move. The tourist crowds have tapped out, the weather is still giving, and the city finally feels like actual Paris again instead of a walking selfie stick situation.
There is a 5-star boutique hotel a 10-minute walk from the Eiffel Tower, with a rooftop restaurant that looks directly at it, a spa with a pool and hammam, and champagne waiting for you at check-in. Round trip flights from New York start at $565.
Here’s the full breakdown.
The flight: JFK to Paris, September 8-15, $565 round trip
Icelandair has $565 round trip from JFK right now, leaving September 8, back September 15. One stop each way through Reykjavik, around 10 hours total. Not bad at all. Prices on this route move fast, so check Skyscanner before it goes up.
Want direct? Air France does JFK to CDG nonstop in 7 hours 25 minutes for $757 round trip. That is $190 more for a direct shot with no layover, which is honestly so worth it if you hate airports.
The One Alma Paris is H10’s only hotel in France and it is, insanely well located. 5-star boutique property in the 7th arrondissement, right on Rue Cognacq-Jay. The Eiffel Tower is a 10-minute walk. The Musee d’Orsay is around the corner. Avenue Montaigne, where all the good shopping lives, is literally minutes away.
They greet you with champagne at check-in. Multiple reviewers brought this up without being asked, which is honestly the most trustworthy kind of review. Rooms face a quiet interior courtyard so you literally cannot hear the city. The rooftop restaurant does breakfast with a direct Eiffel Tower view, and one reviewer specifically called out the omelettes. That is the kind of detail that earns its own sentence.
The Despacio Spa has an experience pool, sauna, and hammam on site. It is included. The The Despacio Spa has an experience pool, sauna, and hammam on site and it is included. There is also a rooftop bar on the 7th floor that opens at noon, with views directly over Paris rooftops. Not bad for a Tuesday afternoon.
Superior rooms start from 475 EUR per night with promo code H10ESCAPE applied. Seven nights comes to 3,325 EUR, roughly $3,620 total. For context, that is basically what a basic Midtown Manhattan hotel room goes for during the same week. You do the math.
Step 1: Pull up Skyscanner , search JFK to Paris CDG, September 8-15. Icelandair via Reykjavik is at $565 round trip. Air France direct is $757. Grab whichever one works for you before the prices move.
Step 2: Book The One Alma Paris directly through H10 Hotels. Use promo code H10ESCAPE at checkout for the discount already factored into the 475 EUR rate above. Book the Superior Room to start. Seven nights runs roughly $3,620 total.
Step 3: Nothing else. The hotel is central enough that you literally don’t need to plan. Walk out and the city is there.
Flight + seven nights: roughly $4,185 all in from New York. Paris in a 5-star hotel next to the Eiffel Tower. September. You have looked at worse trips for more money.
