Where should I stay for Roland-Garros?

The 16th arrondissement vs. Boulogne-Billancourt — proximity vs. price

Roland-Garros sits in the quiet 16th arrondissement, a part of Paris with genuinely few hotels this close to the venue — the real tradeoff most visitors face is between paying a premium to walk to the gates, or crossing the Seine to Boulogne-Billancourt for meaningfully lower rates and a short Métro ride instead.

Near the venue — Auteuil, 16th arrondissement

The 16th arrondissement, and Auteuil specifically, is where the tournament's handful of walkable hotels sit — Hôtel Molitor at the luxury end (10-minute walk, see the Luxury Guide), plus a small stock of independent 3-star hotels on quiet residential streets around Porte d'Auteuil and Michel-Ange–Molitor. This is a genuine former village annexed into Paris in 1860 — Art Nouveau villas hidden behind gates, a twice-weekly market, a real neighborhood character most Roland-Garros visitors never get to see (see the full Day Trips guide) — but hotel stock here is genuinely small and sells out first.

Across the Seine — Boulogne-Billancourt

Boulogne-Billancourt is a genuine, functioning Paris suburb directly across the Seine from the stadium's western edge — bakeries, markets, real restaurants, not an anonymous commuter district. Billancourt Métro station (Line 9) connects directly toward Porte d'Auteuil, the stop nearest the venue, and both real accommodation options here run meaningfully below what the 16th arrondissement charges.

Ibis Boulogne-Billancourt — Mid-Range Stay

★4.2(586 Google reviews)

A 4-minute drive from Roland-Garros, consistently well-rated across every platform

The honest case for this hotel over other similarly-priced options near Roland-Garros is boring, in the best way: it's consistently rated well by real guests across enough different platforms that it's not a fluke. A lot of "close to the stadium" hotel recommendations in this price range look fine on one review site and mediocre on the next — this one holds its rating everywhere you check, which for a mid-range chain hotel is worth more than it sounds.

Boulogne-Billancourt

Worth knowing

• —Confirm deposit terms directly with the hotel or your booking platform before arrival — a recurring, specific complaint across review platforms concerns slow deposit returns, and having your confirmation and terms in writing avoids the most commonly reported issue here.
• —Billancourt Métro station (Line 9) connects directly toward Porte d'Auteuil, the closest stop to Roland-Garros — a genuinely simple, one-change-free route on tournament match days rather than a multi-transfer trip.

Boulogne-Billancourt — Short-Let & Budget Stay

A real Paris neighborhood, one Métro line from the stadium, well under hotel rates

Every Grand Slam city has a version of this trade: pay more to sleep closer to the venue, or pay less and accept a longer commute. Boulogne-Billancourt is Roland-Garros's version of that trade done well — genuinely cheaper, genuinely safe, and genuinely close enough (Line 9, one direct connection) that the commute isn't the ordeal it sounds like on paper.

Boulogne-Billancourt

Worth knowing

• —Search directly for listings naming 'Roland Garros' in the title — several hosts in Boulogne-Billancourt explicitly market to tournament visitors and list walk times to the stadium, making comparison shopping for proximity straightforward.
• —Confirm which Métro station a listing is actually nearest to before booking — Boulogne-Billancourt is a genuinely large district, and 'near the Métro' can mean anywhere from a 3-minute to a 20-minute walk depending on exactly where the apartment sits.
