Looking for somewhere to stay near the Musée d’Orsay? Hôtel de Lille Saint-Germain-des-Prés welcomes you at 40 rue de Lille, in Paris’s 7th arrondissement, approximately 400 to 500 metres from the museum, depending on the entrance used.
From our 4-star boutique hotel in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, you can reach the Musée d’Orsay on foot, then continue exploring the banks of the Seine and the Louvre.
When leaving the Hôtel de Lille Saint-Germain-des-Prés, take Rue de Lille towards the Musée d’Orsay. Allow approximately 6 to 8 minutes on foot to reach the museum. This route lets you visit the collections without using public transport, then return easily to the hotel after your visit.
The Musée d’Orsay is housed in a former railway station and features, in particular, works from the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century. Whether you come for its permanent collections or an exhibition, staying on Rue de Lille allows you to plan your visit at your own pace.
Before setting off, check the entrance indicated on your ticket. While work is being carried out on the museum’s reception areas, visitors with a timed ticket should use the Quai entrance; other visitors are welcomed via the Parvis entrance. The museum recommends booking online.
