Hotel near Roland-Garros: stay at Hôtel DANTAN in Boulogne-Billancourt
Every year, the French Open draws hundreds of thousands of tennis fans to the clay courts of the Porte d'Auteuil. To make the most of Roland-Garros 2026, choosing the right accommodation matters as much as picking which sessions of tennis to attend. Hotel DANTAN, a three-star establishment located on rue du Dôme in Boulogne-Billancourt, places you just minutes from the Roland-Garros stadium, in a quiet district close to the heart of the 16th arrondissement (75016 Paris, France).
Staying at the DANTAN means enjoying 43 comfortable rooms with a unique retro design, a breakfast built around local French produce, free wifi and an attentive, personalized service, all within a short walk of Marcel Sembat metro station (line 9). This ideal location provides easy access to the stadium as well as the most popular landmarks of the capital, without the noise of the city center. The vintage atmosphere of the DANTAN also echoes the rich history of Roland-Garros itself, one of the oldest Grand Slam tournaments in the world: a perfect combination for lovers of tennis and travel.
Roland-Garros: a tournament rooted in French history
Before you explore the grounds of the stadium, a little context. The tournament owes its name to aviator Roland Garros, a hero of the First World War and the first pilot to fly non-stop across the Mediterranean in 1913. When the French Tennis Federation inaugurated the stadium in 1928, it was to host the Davis Cup final and defend the trophy won by the legendary "Musketeers": Lacoste, Cochet, Borotra and Brugnon. From that date onward, the tournament never stopped growing.
The 1980s marked a turning point with players like Björn Borg, five-time champion on the Parisian clay, followed by Ivan Lendl. But it is Rafael Nadal who wrote Roland-Garros into contemporary legend, claiming fourteen titles between 2005 and 2022, a record many consider unbeatable. The reopening of the renovated Philippe Chatrier Court in 2019, complete with a retractable roof, propelled the tournament into a new era while preserving the unique atmosphere of the Porte d'Auteuil.
Choosing a hotel near the Roland-Garros stadium during the French Open means becoming part of that living sporting memory. And at the DANTAN, an establishment where every design detail tells the story of a bygone era, that historical dimension finds a particularly elegant echo.

An ideal location in the sporting heart of Paris
The proximity to Roland-Garros is far from the only advantage of staying at the DANTAN. The district offers a remarkable concentration of major sporting venues.

Orly Airport is roughly a thirty-minute drive; Roissy Charles-de-Gaulle Airport, around fifty minutes.

Breakfast, terrace and service for your tennis stay
A day at Roland-Garros starts early. Breakfast at Hotel DANTAN sets you up in the best conditions: a generous buffet featuring fresh food from Boulogne-Billancourt's local artisans. Crusty pastries from the Au Pain de Boulogne bakery, cheeses aged by Fromagerie Escudier, seasonal fruit from Le Moulin de Boulogne, artisanal jams from Confiture Parisienne. Enough to fuel you before the first exchanges on the clay.
After the matches, the DANTAN terrace provides a quiet spot to review the day over a drink, away from the crowds. This intimate garden, exclusive to the establishment, comes into its own during the long June evenings, when the semi-finals and final dominate every conversation.
Do not hesitate to contact the hotel staff, available around the clock. The team recommends the best restaurants in the quarter, helps you book tickets for nearby cultural or sporting events and welcomes pets on request. A coworking space is also included for business travellers who wish to combine the tournament with professional obligations.
Beyond tennis: discovering Boulogne-Billancourt and Paris
The Roland-Garros programme often leaves half-days free, especially between sessions. Take the opportunity to explore the city center of Boulogne-Billancourt, a district that rewards the curious visitor. The Escudier market and the Square Léon Blum, steps from the hotel, offer fresh local produce several days a week. The Albert Kahn Museum, with its themed gardens from around the world, is well worth a visit. On Île Seguin, the Seine Musicale hosts a popular calendar of concerts, art exhibitions and live performances that extend the buzz of the tournament.
History enthusiasts will appreciate that Boulogne-Billancourt was for decades the centre of French cinema. It is precisely this heritage that inspired the design of the DANTAN, giving each stay a cultural dimension that few hotels near Roland-Garros can provide.
