Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels
Paris-Beauvais is about 80 km north of Paris, with no train link: the only connection is the shuttle to Porte Maillot, roughly 1h15 of travel. That's why anyone flying from Beauvais who wants to sleep near the city chooses Paris itself as a base, not the airport: the real question becomes how far you are from the shuttle stop, not from the terminal. La Défense is the most practical compromise, linked to Porte Maillot by the same metro line; further areas like Gare de Lyon or La Villette only make sense if you also want to sightsee in Paris and don't mind a longer trip to the shuttle.
La Défense
Neighbourhood · direct metro line 1 to Porte Maillot in about 10 minutes, then the shuttle to the airport in about 1h15
Best for: the fastest link to the Beauvais shuttle
Pros
- A single direct metro connection to the shuttle stop
- Modern, safe neighbourhood with shops and restaurants
- A range of price levels among the area's hotels
Cons
- Not the historic centre, you need the metro to get around
- Business district, little going on at weekends
Recommended hotels in this area
- Renaissance Paris La Defense Hotel: 4-star hotel connected to a shopping centre, handy for anyone who wants metro line 1 just steps away.
- Hôtel le Dauphin: Simple hotel a few minutes' walk from the Esplanade de la Défense metro station, good value for anyone who just needs to sleep.
- Aparthotel Adagio La Défense Esplanade: Aparthotel with studios and small apartments, useful for anyone who wants more space or is staying more than one night.
