OKKO Hotels Paris Porte de Versailles Smart Hotel
Stay near Expo Centre with modern design and lounge
Why we love it
The setting
OKKO Hotels Paris Porte de Versailles sits in the 15th arrondissement, on the south-western edge of the city. The Balard Metro station is about 400 metres away, so the rest of Paris is a short ride off. The hotel stands beside the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, the largest exhibition centre in the country, which makes it a practical base for anyone visiting a trade fair or convention. The neighbourhood is residential and quiet in the evenings, away from the busier central districts.
What to expect
Rooms follow OKKO's pared-back design: grey tones, clean lines, a wide bed and a compact work area by the window. The bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower. Downstairs, the Club lounge is the centre of the hotel, with a long communal table, sofas and a small library under a bright yellow ceiling. There is a fitness room with a treadmill and cross-trainers, plus a workspace with shared computers. The restaurant looks out over greenery through floor-to-ceiling windows.
Things to do nearby
The Palais des Sports concert and event hall is around 600 metres away, and the Porte de Versailles tram and Metro interchange is roughly 700 metres on foot. From there you can reach the Left Bank and central Paris in well under half an hour. The Eiffel Tower is about 3 km north, an easy trip by Metro or a long walk along the river. Corentin Celton station gives a second route into the network for getting around the wider city.
Best for
A good fit for couples and solo travellers who want a calm, design-led base with quick transport links, and for anyone attending an event at the Expo centre next door.
