HYROX Paris 2026 Season 9

Use the map to compare and book hotels near the HYROX Paris Grand Palais venue — less travel, more focus on race day.

For the Grand Palais, stay around Champs-Élysées / Franklin D. Roosevelt / Invalides / Madeleine / 8th arrondissement if race-day convenience matters. This is a central Paris venue, so nearby hotels can be expensive but very useful for keeping race-day movement simple.

Recommended nearby hotels:

Premium

• Hôtel Barrière Fouquet’s Paris — Premium option close to the Champs-Élysées side of the venue zone. Strong for athletes wanting a high-end central stay.
• Hôtel de Crillon — Luxury option on Place de la Concorde, within the wider Grand Palais area. Best for premium comfort rather than value.

Intermediate

• Hôtel Alison — Practical central option near Madeleine / Concorde. Check walking route before booking.
• Hôtel Chambiges Elysées — Smaller polished option near the Champs-Élysées / Grand Palais side. Useful if you want central access without a large chain feel.

Budget / Practical

• Ibis Styles Paris Gare Saint-Lazare — More practical budget-leaning option with transport access, but not directly venue-adjacent. Better as a short metro/taxi option.
• Central Paris apartment stays near the 8th arrondissement — Useful for teams or longer stays, but check access, stairs, and cancellation terms carefully.

Athlete booking advice:

 For Paris, staying close to the Grand Palais will cost more but can save major race-day hassle. Book early and check the exact walking route, because central Paris distances can look simple on a map but feel different with gear.

• EU/EEA/UK: No visa required
• USA, Canada, Australia, Japan: 90-day visa-free entry under Schengen rules
• Other countries: Check Schengen visa requirements
