Hotel near the Moulin Rouge: your ideal stay at Les Jardins de Montmartre
Looking for a hotel close to the Moulin Rouge in Montmartre, Paris, with easy metro access, an excellent location and a quiet night after the show? Les Jardins de Montmartre is a 3-star hotel located on rue Ordener, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris (18th arr.), just over a mile from the Moulin Rouge on boulevard de Clichy and a three-minute walk from Jules Joffrin metro station on line 12.
With 38 comfortable air-conditioned rooms, buffet breakfast, free wifi and a friendly reception open 24/7, this is an ideal and convenient place to stay for guests who want to enjoy the show, Pigalle, the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur, the place du Tertre and the lively streets of this Parisian village. Here is everything you need to know before you book a hotel near the Moulin Rouge: distance, access, room categories, amenities offered, services and neighborhood.
The Moulin Rouge, an iconic cabaret at the foot of the butte
The temple of the French Cancan stands at 82 boulevard de Clichy, in the heart of Montmartre, Paris, a few metro stations from your hotel near the Moulin Rouge. Opened in 1889, in the last years of the 19th century, this unique venue turned the city into the capital of nightlife, a Belle Epoque atmosphere immortalised by Toulouse-Lautrec and his famous posters of Aristide Bruant. The name has since travelled from Hollywood to Broadway in New York, but the address itself has never moved.
Today, the Féerie revue brings together a troupe of eighty artists every evening, including the sixty Doriss Girls, a thousand costumes of feathers and rhinestones, exceptional international acts and four scenes that lead from the sleeping garden of the Moulin to a pirate ship before returning to the Paris of 1900. Performances are scheduled at 9 PM and 11 PM, preceded, if you wish, by dinner served from 7 PM.
One piece of advice: walk up the boulevard before the curtain rises. The red sails of the windmill, put back in place after they fell in April 2024, turn above the cafes and set the tone for the evening. A few doors away, La Machine du Moulin Rouge extends the night with its concerts and electronic music line-up, for guests who are not ready to head back just yet.
A hotel near the Moulin Rouge, between Pigalle and northern Paris
On rue Ordener you are in the Montmartre of local residents: bakeries, greengrocers, simple terraces and that lively street hum that makes the walk home after a show so pleasant. It is a prime location for anyone who wants the nightlife of Clichy in Paris in the evening and a real neighborhood in the morning. From the reception desk, allow three minutes on foot to Jules Joffrin metro station, on line 12. Three stops later, past Lamarck-Caulaincourt and Abbesses, you get off at Pigalle, and the boulevard leads you to the cabaret in a short ten-minute walk, or one stop on line 2 to Blanche station. Fifteen minutes door to door, just time enough to choose where to have a drink after the show.
The distance from the hotel to the Moulin Rouge is also easy walking distance. Cross the Butte by rue du Mont-Cenis and the steps of the basilica: just over a mile, twenty-five minutes on foot, and beautiful views over the rooftops. Line 4, an easy eight-minute walk away at Simplon station, serves the Clignancourt flea market to the north and Gare du Nord to the south. Buses 60 and 31 stop at Duhesme Le Ruisseau, the 80 stops at Mairie du 18e Jules Joffrin, and two Vélib' bike stations sit on rue du Mont-Cenis and rue Lapeyre for guests who prefer to cycle.
The rest of the capital enjoys the same easy access. Line 12 runs straight to Gare Saint-Lazare and the Grands Boulevards district via Saint-Georges and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, a short walk from the Palais Garnier opera house. From Orly airport, take line 14 to Saint-Lazare, then line 12. From Roissy Charles de Gaulle, the RER B reaches Gare du Nord, where line 4 drops you at Simplon. By car, leave the ring road at porte de Saint-Ouen, follow boulevard des Maréchaux and rue Vauvenargues to the Ateliers de Versigny car park.

Services and breakfast at Les Jardins de Montmartre
If you are searching for a hotel near the Moulin Rouge with breakfast served daily, the buffet here is set out every morning from 7 AM to 10 AM, in a room whose decor recalls the lanes of the Butte and its illustrious residents, from Dalí to Monet, Renoir, Cézanne and Van Gogh. Pastries, fresh bread, freshly squeezed juices, cheeses, cold cuts, cereals and local specialities: quality products for a gentle start before a long day of sightseeing. Reception is open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, welcoming you at any time, which is real comfort when the revue ends past midnight.
On the practical side, the hotel works with Mon Petit Paris, an online concierge service that lets you book skip-the-line tickets, a river cruise beneath the bridges of the Seine, a trip up the Eiffel Tower or Parisian shows at the same time as your dates of stay. We also work with Greeters, an association of volunteers who show visitors their own city in friendly groups of five or six.
Finally, our direct offers include a few extras for guests who book through the official site: a little tourist train ride from the basilica to the place du Tertre, welcome drinks and late check-out until 2 PM depending on the package. For any question about activities, contact our reception before you arrive.
Montmartre, Pigalle and the 18th arrondissement to explore
The Basilique du Sacré-Coeur, listed as a historic monument since December 2022, is a ten-minute walk from the hotel and the first of the landmarks near the Moulin Rouge you should see. Three hundred steps higher, the dome offers one of the most beautiful views in France. Come back down through the place du Tertre and its portrait painters, then explore the cultural sites of the village: the Musée de Montmartre, the Espace Dalí, and the Musée de la Vie Romantique, housed in a charming hôtel particulier once frequented by writers, composers and the Nabis painters. Get pleasantly lost in the streets that give the district its charm: rue de l'Abreuvoir and its Maison Rose, Villa Léandre with its English cottage look, and the Passe-Muraille statue in tribute to Marcel Aymé.
Further down, place Pigalle marks the boundary with the Nouvelle Athènes, where rue Blanche and rue Pierre Fontaine climb back toward the boulevard. This was long the haunt of artists and intellectuals, and legendary music venues remain, such as Le Divan du Monde and La Cigale on boulevard de Rochechouart, along with the historic Chat Noir and Lapin Agile cabarets, the latter more intimate than its famous neighbour. Among the attractions near the Moulin Rouge, do not miss the popular food shops of rue des Martyrs.
For dinner, with a neighborhood map in hand, we recommend the restaurants of the Butte: Le Consulat for its bistro atmosphere, La Crêperie Brocéliande, and Le Refuge des Fondus, where the wine is served in baby bottles. The Marché Saint-Pierre, seven floors of fabrics since 1920, delights lovers of interior decoration, and the art galleries around rue Lepic in Paris round off the walk nicely.
The neighborhoods near the Moulin Rouge each have their own character, from South Pigalle, known locally as SoPi, to the quieter Batignolles, and the northern slope of Montmartre where our hotel sits is one of the best areas to stay if you want the show and a good night's sleep.
The city center is never far either: the Louvre Museum, Notre-Dame cathedral, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Champs-Élysées, the Marais and the canal Saint-Martin are all a few stations away. One cultural site a day, a quiet return in the evening: that is the appeal of staying here rather than in the middle of the crowds.
