Palace hotels & Michelin stars
Paris sets the standard for what a palace hotel can be. The Ritz, Le Bristol, Cheval Blanc, Plaza Athénée and Le Meurice each carry the rare Palace distinction — a classification reserved for the most exceptional addresses in France. Expect haute cuisine, couture-level service, and interiors that have hosted the last century's great writers, designers, and diplomats.
