My eyes have glazed over trying to find a potential hotel for September. Two of us, for a week. We usually do an Airbnb for stays that long, so we can stretch out and have snacks, relax a little bit more. BUT I am willing to explore a smaller hotel this time, if we can get something with a balcony, a bar on property a definite plus. Budget about $400 per night, open to areas.
Hôtel Saint-Petersbourg
It's a gorgeous parisian hotel with a bar and some rooms with balcony
In general , move quickly on a choice - September is a busy month in Paris and bookings fill up way in advance . Two favorite places here - https://hotelparismuguet.com/ and just down the street , this one https://hotelempereurparis.com/
You might look at any of the hotels on rue Jacob in the 6th. In this same area, I like:

I’ll chime in and agree with @Alexander about the lovely Hotel Saint-Petersbourg Opera. My husband and I spent a full week there last April. It was well, the middle of the pandemic, so we spent more time there and ate in the room more often than we normally would.
Our “deluxe double with terrace” was well-equipped for in-room snacking and stretching out. The good-sized terrace was large enough for a table and 2 chairs and had a charming territorial rooftop view. The room also had a seating area with 2 chairs and a low table, a charming vanity, a mini-fridge and well-stocked coffee station.
The bakery across the street had wonderful breakfast and lunch options which we brought back to the room. Transit, restaurants and shopping were all close by. We didn’t go to the bar but the buffet breakfast (a bit pricey at something like €28 a piece) was the most sumptuous I’ve seen offered and totally worth the splurge.
Thanks for all the suggestions! I will definitely check them out.
my standard recommend
We stayed at a Cobblestone apartment right next to this super cute little place in Le Marais. I adored the neighborhood and the hotel entrance looks like a chic little art gallery.
Great boutique and great location near Place de la Concorde.
Hotel Madison on Blvd St-Germaine des-Pres in the 6th.
Never stayed there, but it looks really nice: Hotel des Saints Peres in the 6th.

September is a very popular month & hotels book up fast so you should decide soon.
Easy… Champ de Mars in Rue Cler. Could not recommend the neighborhood or hotel more. The windows with flower boxes look onto a beautiful street with multiple bars right outside your door.
There have been a lot of negative reviews of Hotel Champs de Mars here over the years. Common feedback is married couple owners are very unfriendly, rude. I experienced that with them myself. It’s not a boutique hotel and not in the category of all the other suggestions here. Also, no balconies, no bar. There are cafés nearby, but no bars.
We have stated at the https://www.hotelmottepicquetparis.com/en/ on three trips and it is a nice place, steps from Ecole Militaire Metro and on the corner of the Rue Cler. Staff is friendly and very helpful. We were last there in 2019, when the temp hit what was then an all time high of 108.7 degrees. We were given an extra fan for our room when the AC was not enough. If you get a corner room you can see onto the Rue Cler and the Avenue de la Motte Picquet.
