YOTELAIR Paris CDG
YOTELAIR Paris CDG is a transit hotel airside in Terminal 2E, near Gate L. Its 80 compact cabins are bookable by the hour with a four-hour minimum, which makes it the only accommodation at Paris Charles de Gaulle that a connecting passenger can use without passing immigration. Reception operates 24 hours.
Cabins
The 80 cabins come in Standard and Premium formats, each with a comfortable bed, climate control, mood lighting, power sockets and a pull-out workstation. Every cabin has a private bathroom with a monsoon rain shower and free toiletries, and free Wi-Fi throughout.
The cabins are compact by design: this is sleep-and-shower accommodation for people between flights, not a base for a Paris stay. For a full-service hotel night, compare the Sheraton inside Terminal 2 or the hotels a free CDGVAL ride away.
Booking by the hour
Cabins are charged by the hour with a four-hour minimum stay, around the clock. Book ahead through the hotel or booking platforms for busy periods; walk-up availability exists but is not guaranteed. A shower-only arrangement is sometimes offered for short stops, with the shower set charged separately.
Location and Transportation
The hotel is in the transit zone of Terminal 2E, near Gate L, after security. Passengers connecting airside between non-Schengen flights can stay without clearing immigration.
If you are landside, or your connection moves you landside, access depends on passing security with a valid boarding pass. Other terminals connect to Terminal 2 by the free CDGVAL shuttle and the free N1/N2 buses; allow time for the transfer and a fresh security screening.
