Best Hotels in Paris
The city of light's finest addresses
Paris has more Palace-designated hotels than any other city in the world — a distinction created by the French government to recognise properties that transcend the five-star category. The Ritz, Le Bristol, the Plaza Athénée, the Crillon, the George V, the Meurice: these are not merely hotels but institutions, each with a history that intersects with the great figures of the 20th century. These are the addresses that define what it means to stay in Paris at its most extraordinary — where the service, the cuisine, the décor, and the location conspire to make every stay unforgettable.
