Hotels in Paris recommendations please

I don't have much to add about Paris. We stayed at the Hilton Paris La Defense. It's very close to the metro and made it very easy to hit any sight we wanted to see.

However, Disneyland Paris is not in Paris. We went this summer and (if I recall) it was about an hour train ride. We stayed on property (Hotel New York) and would do it again.

Disneyland Paris is 2 parks but they are pretty small. The best way to describe it is to take Disney Springs in Orlando and set it at the gates of the park. You go thru security to access the retail/restaurant area and then have access to both park entrances. By staying on the grounds you get into the park an hour early. We were able to go to one park at rope drop, hit the top rides, and get into the other park before the gates opened for general admission.

Edit to add more detail:
We spent a full day and 2 half days at Disney Paris (afternoon, full day, morning). We then spent 2 full days and 2 half days exploring Paris from La Defense.

I agree with you. We’re going on a Mediterranean Cruise that leaves out of Barcelona, but are deciding to fly into Paris a few days prior to boarding since we’ve never been there. We really just want our 11yr old to get experience as much as possible with this opportunity. I’ve never been over seas and my wife has only been to England. The Disney idea just seemed like a cool thing to do somewhere other than Orlando.

I just came home from bringing and 8 and 6 year old. I agree with what the other posters have said. You could do Disney anytime, don't do it the only time you may be in Paris with your family.

Do the Louvre. Go up the Eiffell Tower. Take a cooking class. Walk through 3 or 4 arrondissements and stop at every cafe, bakery, or restaurant that catches your eye, take her to Versailles, go sit in the gardens and eat lunch. The options are literally endless.

Please don’t do Disney with that short amount of time there. As the other poster said Paris itself is enough for a girl. Here’s a list of things a daughter would enjoy outside of Disney.

We did a tour on a Tuk Tuk and they’re all highly rated. We used it to drop us off at a different destination from the hotel and took an uber back. There’s one where kids under 12 are free.the vehicle can get you super close to attractions and you can get out and take photos and hop back in. It’s like a ride. You’ll see a lot of the city this way without the confines of a bus or exhausting yourself walking.

Now the bateaux on the Seine don’t have the best food but she would love it.

If you want to do a day trip I would do Versailles; most girls would love to see a real palace. Book a tour for it as lines are crazy long.
