Élégant, historic, and sophisticated. Part of Rosewood Hotels, who very well know how to do luxury, this is a historic landmark for Parisians, with former guests, from Marie Antoinette to Louis XV. Book here for over-the-top French luxury.

Maximum Parisian style reins at this five-star luxury hotel in the heart of Saint-Germain, the only Palace hotel on the Left Bank. Expect gorgeous Art Deco interiors, impeccable service, and fantastic amenities.

Designed by one of our favorite interior designers, Jacques Garcia. We can comfortably say this is our favorite hotel done by him: The public spaces are intimate, and with only 25 suites/15 rooms, it feels more like each guest’s own private mansion than a standard hotel.

Nestled on a low-key part of the picturesque Place Vendôme, this hotel has one of the best locations in Paris. Unlike other Palace hotels, here guests are welcomed with discretion, sans tourists and bloggers taking photos in the lobby—without missing out on the same attention to detail as the neighboring Ritz Paris. Book here if you value discretion but won’t sacrifice top service.

The only château-hotel like in Paris of this size, where stately history mixes with chic, contemporary design. The hotel’s location in a forgotten corner of the 16th might be off the beaten path for some, but the property and interiors are worth the trek.
