I have been looking online for a Paris hotel to reserve a room at, for 9 nights in March, 2026. I'd like to look up rates and amenities, and compare several places. An astounding number of hotels report (via the online reservation service) "no rooms are available." I am trying like heck to start at the hotels' real home pages, but many seem to use the same platform for reservations. Is there a "magic" element to the timing for making hotel reservations in Paris online?

I would start the search with a booking site, where it’s easy to bookmark many properties. Narrow down your search, then move to the direct websites. Prices should be slightly lower than the booking site, but not always.

It’s probably too early for those hotels. Try in a few weeks or another month.

In addition to it possibly being too early, try shortening your stay to 2 or 3 nights while you search. That reservation system used by a couple of my go-to hotels doesn’t like stays of more than 7 nights. Sometimes I wind up doing 2 reservations back to back or sometimes I will email the hotel to work it out.
