Other Paris hotels
Saint James, Paris
The Saint James Paris is truly one of a kind—it is the only château-hotel located within the city limits of Paris. Nestled in the prestigious 16th arrondissement, this grand 19th-century neoclassical mansion was once a private residence for scholars funded by the Thiers Foundation. Today, it operates as both an ultra-luxe hotel and an exclusive private club, offering a serene, countryside-estate feel in the heart of the capital.
CN Traveler + 1 more“The elegant, primarily residential 16th arrondissement is a fitting location for Saint James Paris, the city’s only officially designated château-hotel. Set in a neoclassical former private residence and surrounded by a sizable structural garden, the property intentionally keeps a low profile.”
Hotel Le Meurice, Paris
Hotel Le Meurice is a legendary "Palace" hotel that has been a cornerstone of Parisian luxury since it moved to its current Rue de Rivoli location in 1835. Originally established by postmaster Charles-Augustin Meurice to cater to affluent British travelers, it quickly earned the nickname "the hotel of kings," hosting monarchs, dignitaries, and celebrities ranging from Queen Victoria to Salvador Dalí.
Fodors + 3 more“Paris’s first palace hotel continues to offer service, style, and views over the Tuileries and all of Paris in the jaw-dropping top-floor Belle Étoile Suite. A favorite of fashionistas and art buffs.”

Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris
The Four Seasons Hotel George V is a legendary Art Deco landmark that has defined Parisian luxury since it first opened in 1928. Originally designed by architect Georges Wybo, the property was transformed into a Four Seasons hotel in 1999. Today, its interiors—masterfully curated by designer Pierre-Yves Rochon—blend classical French elegance with modern sophistication, featuring everything from 18th-century tapestries to contemporary sculptural lighting.
CNN + 3 more“This Golden Triangle mainstay is difficult to top in terms of luxury, service and price. Capacious guest rooms incorporate styles of different eras for a result that’s a little bit Marie-Antoinette, a touch Joséphine and unmistakably French.”
Hôtel du Petit Moulin, Paris
Hôtel du Petit Moulin is a delightful secret tucked away in the historic Le Marais district. Housed in a 17th-century building, it famously served as Paris’s first-ever bakery, and legend has it that Victor Hugo himself visited regularly to buy his bread. The original storefront remains intact, and the building is officially classified as a historical monument.
CNN + 1 more“To be king or queen for a day, you don’t have to wake up a pauper. Housed in a 17th-century building, the 17 rooms of this Marais hotel were individually (and flamboyantly) decorated by Christian Lacroix.”
