A luxury stay, particularly in Paris, the most visited capital in the world, has come to mean many different things for travelers. For some, it’s a question of access to the most exclusive spaces and experiences. For others, luxury entails authenticity, personalized service, unparalleled quality, and the sense of wonder that comes with a certain price tag. In Paris, no matter your definition of luxury, there’s an exceptional hotel for everyone. Whether you opt for old-world glamour in historic, Palace-designated properties, or lean into the modern elegance of newer destination hotels, you can be sure to be met with stellar service, state-of-the-art amenities, thoughtful design, life-changing spa treatments, and best-in-class dining. The challenge, of course, is to choose among such a compelling abundance of properties.
