To the point Comparing the three Marriott Bonvoy hotels near Paris-CDG: Moxy, Residence Inn and Courtyard, to help you choose based on your travel profile and budget.

For a night before an early-morning flight, a late arrival, or a layover at Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle, the choice of hotel can make a real difference. Around the CDGVAL station, three Marriott Bonvoy addresses stand out: the Moxy Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, the Residence Inn by Marriott Paris Charles de Gaulle Central Airport, and the Courtyard by Marriott Paris Charles de Gaulle Central Airport.

All three hotels sit in the same Roissy pôle zone: the Moxy is less than 100 metres from the Courtyard and the Residence Inn, which share the same building and the same restaurant. Your choice will depend less on location than on price, service level, and the type of trip you’re taking.

Price: the Moxy has the edge, but not always

The Moxy Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is generally the most appealing option to keep the cost of an airport night down. As always, rates fluctuate strongly depending on the date, occupancy, and events happening around Paris.

The Residence Inn and the Courtyard position themselves more as four-star hotels, with larger rooms and more services. Their rate can therefore be higher than the Moxy, but the value received isn’t the same: breakfast included at the Residence Inn, an in-room kitchen, self-service laundry, and better autonomy for families or longer stays.

Service and facilities

The Moxy leans into efficiency and atmosphere: a lively bar, simple dining, welcoming common areas, and a casual-style front desk. It’s a hotel built for those who want a modern room, easy airport access, and a less formal feel than a classic business hotel.

The Courtyard offers a more traditional experience: modern rooms, comfortable bedding, soundproofed windows, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a restaurant and bar open all day. It’s the most balanced option for a comfortable airport hotel, without necessarily paying for a suite with a kitchen.

The Residence Inn is the most practical for those who want to feel at home. Its suites come with a full kitchen, a workspace, a 55-inch smart TV, and soundproofed windows. Breakfast is included, and the hotel offers a small pantry shop, a restaurant, and a bar. With 121 rooms spread over 8 floors, the hotel also has a gym, a laundry room, and 7 meeting rooms.

By travel profile

Solo

For a solo traveler, the Moxy Paris CDG checks the right boxes: easy access to CDGVAL, a compact but functional room, Wi-Fi, a bar, on-site dining, and a lively atmosphere. If the goal is simply to sleep near the airport before a flight, it’s often the most rational choice. The Courtyard becomes more appealing if you need to work or sleep in a quieter, more classic setting.

Couples

The choice mostly depends on the length of the stay. For a quick night before a flight, the Moxy can be enough, especially if the price gap is significant. The Courtyard remains the best compromise for a couple who wants more comfort: well-soundproofed rooms, traditional bedding, and a less “design hostel” feel than the Moxy.

Families

The Residence Inn Paris CDG Central Airport is the most logical choice for a family. Suites with a pull-out sofa and a full kitchen let you put together a simple meal and avoid relying entirely on the hotel’s dining. The Courtyard also works thanks to its connecting rooms for a family of four.

Airport access: an advantage shared by all three

All three hotels benefit from convenient access to Paris-CDG via CDGVAL, the free automated shuttle linking terminals 1, 2, and 3, the RER B station, and the TGV station. This is an essential criterion: at an airport hotel, a few minutes of walking or shuttle time can make a real difference, especially with luggage, kids, or a very early flight.

The verdict

If price is your priority, choose the Moxy Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport: it’s the simplest option for a functional night, especially solo or as a couple when the rate is low. If you want the best balance of comfort, service, and simplicity, the Courtyard Paris Charles de Gaulle Central Airport is the most versatile choice.

If you’re traveling as a family or staying more than one night, the Residence Inn Paris Charles de Gaulle Central Airport is the most practical choice. The full kitchen, extra space, included breakfast, and laundry make it the most comfortable option for turning an airport night into a stress-free stay.

Tips to save on your night at CDG airport

  • Compare cash and points: once you factor in the exchange rate, using Marriott Bonvoy points or the annual 35,000-point certificate from the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card can be very worthwhile for this type of airport hotel.
  • Track the price: at Paris-CDG, rates vary based on flight schedules, occupancy, school holidays, and events in Paris. Book early with a cancellable rate, then check the price every month to apply any drop.
  • Rethink your airport meal: depending on your departure time, take advantage of your credit card perks to eat for free in one of the airport lounges instead of paying for a meal at the hotel.

Conclusion

The Moxy, the Residence Inn, and the Courtyard each cover a different need around Paris-CDG: price, the comfort-service balance, and independence for families or longer stays. The right choice mostly comes down to your travel profile and how long your layover is.
