Haussmann buildings, the abundance of gilded historic monuments, and the glimmering Seine and its elegant bridges have arguably made Paris the most glamorous cityscape in the world. The French capital is home to nine ‘Palace’-grade hotels (essentially five star-plus), along with a swathe of more traditional five-stars that vie to offer the most exceptional accommodation in the city, whether it’s through Michelin-starred dining experiences by Ducasse, Marx & co; designer spa treatments; or made-to-measure experiences (think a Rolls Royce spin around the city, or chef-curated caviar menu). Visiting these hotels feels like participating in a lavish, expertly directed theatrical experience; truly once-in-a-lifetime (with a price tag to match). And there’s nowhere quite like Paris for a setting to match.
