Your guide to the best luxury hotels in France
Hotel Martinez CannesEvery booking through suitespot includes:- Breakfast for two – at 217 of the 234 properties
- Room upgrade – at 212
- Welcome gift at 136
- Free internet at 128
Entry level sits at around €100 at Maison Doucet Charolles. At the top the range leaves room-rate logic behind: Château De La Croix Des Gardes Cannes is listed at around €126,030, which is a whole-property rate. A typical rate in France is about €317.
The room upgrade is worth a careful look in France – the gap sits right at the top.
The upgrade is missing at the Paris palace hotels of all places
212 of the 234 properties carry a room upgrade. That sounds good – what matters is which 22 do not.Hotel Keppler ParisEight of the 22 stand in Paris, among them the city's best-known addresses: Le Meurice Paris, Hotel Plaza Athenee Paris, The Peninsula Paris, Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris, Saint James Paris and Maison Barrière Vendôme Paris.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comOutside Paris it hits top properties too, among them Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin in the Alps and Maison Doucet Charolles in Burgundy.
The rest of the 22 are not hotel rooms at all – five villas and two entries with no fixed location, where a room upgrade simply makes no sense.
In practice: in France do not infer the benefit from the star level. At the palace properties the value of our rate sits in the breakfast, the welcome gift and the hotel credit – not in the room category.
suitespot rates are full direct rates: the benefits come on top of the regular rate.
Five villas produce the entire price band
Between the lowest and the highest entry lies a factor of 1,260. That band comes almost entirely from five properties that are not hotel rooms.
The five villas
Château De La Croix Des Gardes Cannes stands at the top at around 126,030 € – a whole estate, not a room rate. Then follow Villa O Cap Ferrat (around 9,720 €), La Maison Vue De Saint Jean Èze (around 7,647 €), Villa Palmira Super Cannes (around 6,410 €) and Villa Riviera Saint Paul de Vence (around 5,888 €).
Without those five, France ends at 3,199 €
The country's most expensive hotel is then Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges in the Savoy Alps at around 3,199 €, followed by Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin (around 2,900 €) and K2 Palace (around 1,980 €).L'Esquisse Hotel ColmarAll price figures on this page refer to the 234 entries unless expressly noted otherwise.
Two entries with no fixed location
Two entries carry no city at all. One of them, Orient Express Corinthian, is at the same time the country's only entry with an all-inclusive board arrangement; no entry rate is on file for it.
What a hotel night costs
An entry rate is on file for 224 of the 234 properties: from around 100 € to around 126,030 €, with the mid-point at around 317 €.Hôtel Paris Bastille BoutetSix properties start below 150 €, 29 below 200 € and 100 of the 224 below 300 €.
169 of the 224 sit below 500 €, 55 above, 24 from 1,000 € and seven from 2,000 €.
Paris is the expensive ground here: the 75 Paris properties start between around 180 € and around 1,816 €, with a mid-point of around 427 €. The 159 properties outside come to around 276 €.
Most affordable are Maison Doucet Charolles (around 100 €), the Radisson Blu Ajaccio Bay Corsica (around 105 €), the Sofitel Lyon Bellecour (around 120 €), the Hotel Indigo Bordeaux Center (around 129 €) and FirstName Bordeaux (around 144 €). In Paris it is Le Pigalle Paris at around 180 €.
For ten properties no entry rate is on file; we clarify price and availability for your travel dates.
No points programme is big in France
136 of the 234 properties belong to a points programme, spread across 13 different ones. 98 carry none – a good 40 percent.
And none of the 13 is really big: at the front stands the Leaders Club with 30 properties, then ALL (Accor) with 25 and Marriott Bonvoy with 22. In most other countries in our portfolio Bonvoy leads by a wide margin – in France it does not.
Behind them follow Relais & Châteaux with 13, I Prefer with 12, IHG Rewards with 11, World of Hyatt with 7, Fans of Mandarin Oriental with 6 and Hilton Honors with 4. The rest is shared by Radisson Rewards, Meliá Rewards, Shangri-La Golden Circle and SLH Invited.
In practice: France is a country of independent properties. Betting on a single programme gives you the narrowest choice among our large destinations – looking at the benefits themselves gives you the widest.
A points credit is on file at 79 properties, and at seven properties the upgrade is recorded already at the time of booking.
Where benefits are missing
The late check-out is where the gap is widest: it is on file at only 166 of the 234 properties – missing at 68, ten of them in Paris. That is the weakest figure among our large destinations.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comBreakfast for two, by contrast, applies at 217 of the 234 properties. Only 17 properties carry neither breakfast nor a breakfast credit.
A room upgrade is on file at 212 properties; which 22 are missing is set out above.
On internet the coverage is thin: free internet is recorded at only 128 of the 234 properties, a welcome gift at 136 and a 100 USD hotel credit at 69.
On the minimum stay, 69 properties expressly carry none and 32 ask for two nights. For the rest nothing is recorded – we clarify that for your travel dates.

Is Paris more expensive than the rest of France?
Yes, clearly.

Do I get a room upgrade at the Paris luxury hotels?
Not at all of them. At eight Paris properties no upgrade is on file – among them the city's best-known addresses: Le Meurice Paris, Hotel Plaza Athenee Paris, The Peninsula Paris, Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris, Saint James Paris and Maison Barrière Vendôme Paris.
Nationwide 212 of the 234 properties carry an upgrade.
Where it is missing, the value of our rate sits in the breakfast, the welcome gift and the hotel credit.
Which is the most expensive hotel in France?

Four more villas follow: Villa O Cap Ferrat (around 9,720 €), La Maison Vue De Saint Jean Èze (around 7,647 €), Villa Palmira Super Cannes (around 6,410 €) and Villa Riviera Saint Paul de Vence (around 5,888 €).
The most expensive hotel is Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges at around 3,199 €, and in Paris La Réserve Paris at around 1,816 €.
Do I earn points on suitespot bookings in France?
At 136 of the 234 properties, spread across 13 programmes. 98 carry none – a good 40 percent.
No programme dominates: at the front stands the Leaders Club with 30 properties, then ALL (Accor) with 25 and Marriott Bonvoy with 22. Then follow Relais & Châteaux with 13 and I Prefer with 12.
A points credit is on file at 79 properties. France is a country of independent properties.
Are there all-inclusive hotels in France?
In our data an all-inclusive board arrangement is on file for exactly one entry: Orient Express Corinthian, which carries no fixed location and for which no entry rate is on file either.
For the other 233 entries none is recorded.
Breakfast for two, by contrast, is included at 217 of the 234 properties.
Which benefit is most often missing in France?
The late check-out. It is on file at only 166 of the 234 properties – missing at 68, ten of them in Paris.
On internet too the coverage is thin: free internet is recorded at 128 properties, a welcome gift at 136.
Breakfast for two, by contrast, applies at 217 of the 234 properties.
Where in France should I stay?
Our 234 properties spread across 54 destinations, with a clear focus on Paris.
The largest: Paris with 75 properties, the Côte d'Azur with 37, Cannes with 9, Nice with 7, Corsica with 6 and Bordeaux with 5.
Note the overlap: the Côte d'Azur is a region and contains the places within it. All seven properties in Nice belong to it as well, as do most of those in Cannes and on the Saint-Tropez peninsula. These figures must not be added together.
For the price decision: outside Paris the mid-point sits at around 276 € instead of around 427 €.
