Best Hotels in France
La belle France
France's hotel landscape is the most culturally layered in the world — a country where the Palace designation was invented, where Coco Chanel lived at the Ritz, and where the finest hotel groups have built their most refined properties. From the grand Parisian palaces of the 8th arrondissement to the vineyard estates of Burgundy, the hilltop mas of Provence, and the Belle Époque villas of the Côte d'Azur, these are the hotels that best capture France's unrivalled art de vivre.
