Your guide to the best luxury hotels in Paris
Ritz Paris · City CentreWhich of the best hotels suits you depends on your plans, because the luxury hotels in Paris play to very different strengths. For a first visit we recommend the area between the Louvre and the Place Vendôme: at the Ritz Paris you swim beneath a trompe-l’œil sky, and in the evening the Bar Hemingway awaits. Families are well looked after at Le Bristol Paris in the 8th arrondissement, with a children’s area, babysitting and a garden of 1,200 m².Couples who love the Left Bank book the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia Paris on Boulevard Raspail. And to see the Eiffel Tower from your room, stay at the Shangri-La Paris on the Chaillot hill, facing the tower across the Seine.
At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
New and freshly renovated: what it means for your stay in Paris
New on the Left Bank since April 2025 is the Sax Paris on Avenue de Saxe, the first hotel in France from LXR, Hilton’s luxury brand. You have breakfast on the 7th floor with a view of the Eiffel Tower, and in the hidden garden an outdoor pool is heated all year round. For longer stays we recommend the Maison Barrière Vendôme Paris between the Place Vendôme and the Tuileries Garden, open since January 2025: 26 rooms, suites and apartments, many with their own kitchen, and you check in right in your suite.
Sax Paris · Rooms & suitesA lot has happened among the luxury hotels around the Champs-Élysées. Our tip: the Château des Fleurs Paris on Rue Vernet, open since 2023 in a 1910 mansion in neo-Art Nouveau style. On Rue Balzac, the Norman Hotel Paris opened in early 2024 as a tribute to the graphic designer Norman Ives, complete with the Thai restaurant of the chef Thiou. A few doors away, the Hotel Balzac Paris was redesigned in the style of the 1930s and 1940s and reopened on June 1, 2024; a secret door leads from the lobby into Pierre Gagnaire’s restaurant.
Hotel Plaza Athenee Paris · Rooms & suitesThere is news in the kitchens of the luxury hotels in Paris, too. Since September 3, 2026, the gourmet restaurant at the Hotel Plaza Athenee Paris has been called La Grande Table du Plaza Athénée, with Jocelyn Herland as head chef. At the Shangri-La Paris, the bistro Maison Roland has been serving Parisian classics in the garden since May 7, 2026. At the Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris, the gourmet restaurant L’Écrin has been closed for renovation since December 2025 and is set to reopen in 2027; until then, Paul Pairet gives classic dishes a new twist at Nonos & Comestibles.
Under a new name, Mandarin Oriental has been running the former Hôtel Lutetia on Boulevard Raspail since April 2025: today’s Mandarin Oriental Lutetia Paris. One address on the Tuileries Garden is missing for now: The Westin Paris - Vendôme has been closed since April 27, 2025 and is being converted into a five-star hotel, expected to be completed in 2028; after that it will no longer be a Westin. If you would like to book a luxury hotel in Paris where work is currently under way, our travel advisors will gladly tell you the latest status.
These luxury hotels in Paris have a pool – from an Art Deco lido to a pool beneath stone vaults
In Paris a pool doesn’t automatically come with a luxury hotel, but the choice is wider than many expect: from 30 meters beneath mosaics to a plunge pool in a vaulted cellar.
Cheval Blanc Paris · PoolIf you want to swim lengths at a 5-star hotel in Paris, you will find the long pools in the palace hotels and the larger hotels. Our tip: the curved, 30-meter infinity pool in the Dior Spa at the Cheval Blanc Paris, beneath handmade mosaics by Michael Mayer. The Bvlgari Hôtel Paris has a 25-meter pool, and The Peninsula Paris a 20-meter pool.
Shangri-La Paris · PoolSlightly shorter lengths in palace hotels: at the Shangri-La Paris you swim 17 meters with daylight and a terrace, at La Réserve Paris 16 meters and at the Mandarin Oriental Paris 14 meters.
Several luxury hotels in Paris also have unusual pools. At the Ritz Paris you swim in roughly 16 by 9 meters beneath a trompe-l’œil sky, with music from underwater speakers. Le Bristol Paris, a 5-star hotel with the Palace distinction, has its heated pool on the 6th floor, shaped like a ship’s bow, with views of the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur. At the Saint James Paris the pool lies beneath vaults with a 15-meter bas-relief.
Small but full of atmosphere: at the Pavillon Faubourg Saint Germain it is a deep plunge pool with jets, at Le Roch Hotel Paris a pool of black lava stone, and at the Hôtel L’Hotel Paris a hammam pool in the vaulted cellar that you can have all to yourself if you book ahead.
Under the open sky you swim at two luxury hotels in this selection: at the Hotel Molitor Paris, where the listed 1929 Art Deco lido has an outdoor and an indoor pool, both heated and lined with blue cabins, and in the garden pool of the Sax Paris. Tell our travel advisors whether you want to swim laps or just take a dip – and we will pick the right pool for you.
If you want to swim outdoors in winter
Then book the Sax Paris: the pool in its garden, Le Jardin, is heated to 29 °C all year round, has a whirlpool and is open until 10 pm. Or stay at the Hotel Molitor Paris in the west of the city, where the historic 1929 outdoor pool is also heated all year; in summer there is a rooftop restaurant and a rooftop bar with a view of the Eiffel Tower as well.
Spa & wellness in Paris’s luxury hotels: Dior, Guerlain, La Mer and Valmont
In Paris, many hotel spas carry the names of great beauty houses. Dior appears twice: the Dior Spa at the Cheval Blanc Paris has six private treatment suites, a hammam of curved marble, a sauna and a snow shower. At the Hotel Plaza Athenee Paris, a steam room, sauna and relaxation room are part of the Dior Spa, and the signature treatment is the “Dior Intense Massage”.
Château des Fleurs Paris · SpaGuerlain looks after guests at the Saint James Paris, across 400 m² with a pool, whirlpool, hammam and sauna. The Spa Le Bristol by La Mer at Le Bristol Paris gets daylight from the inner garden, has eight treatment rooms and its own Bonpoint treatments for children. And at Le Meurice Paris, La Maison Valmont offers Valmont facials, alongside hammams, a sauna and a relaxation terrace.
Hôtel Madame Rêve Paris · SpaThe large spas of the luxury hotels in Paris have room for a whole afternoon. The spa at the 5-star hotel The Peninsula Paris measures 1,800 m², with a 20-meter pool, sauna, hammam and tea lounge; on Saturdays there is yoga and meditation, free of charge for hotel guests. The spa at the Raffles Le Royal Monceau Paris covers 1,500 m², designed by Philippe Starck. The Bvlgari Spa at the Bvlgari Hôtel Paris has 1,300 m² and a 65 m² spa suite.
Award-winning or with a focus of their own: the Sense, A Rosewood Spa at the Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris was named France’s Best Hotel Spa at the World Spa Awards 2026; it has daylight, a pool, hammam and a wall of Himalayan salt. At the Spa Nescens of La Réserve Paris, the treatments draw on the expertise of the Clinique Nescens and focus on healthy aging. And at the Ritz Paris the Ritz Club & Spa was redesigned in 2022, with products by Biologique Recherche and the “Rose Ritual”.
- Breakfast for two, every day
- Room upgrade subject to availability
- Hotel credit, e.g. US$100
- Early check-in and late check-out
- VIP service and personal advice
- Points and status in the hotel programme
Smaller and more personal are the spas of the boutique luxury hotels. Our tip: at the Grand Hôtel du Palais Royal Paris you can book the spa privately, at the Château des Fleurs Paris the arcades of the Spa by Omnisens are modeled on a whale skeleton, and at the Hôtel Madame Rêve Paris you unwind in a sauna of pale wood with a view over Paris.
Dining in Paris’s luxury hotels: Michelin-starred restaurants, brasseries and bars
Eleven hotels in this selection have a Michelin-starred restaurant under their own roof, and four of these restaurants hold three Michelin stars. For the big night out we recommend Epicure in the 5-star hotel Le Bristol Paris: Arnaud Faye serves contemporary French haute cuisine, with a terrace facing the garden. Jérôme Banctel has held three stars since 2024 at the restaurant Le Gabriel in La Réserve Paris; he cooks on limestone and binds his sauces without butter or cream.
Le Bristol Paris · DiningSix stars under one roof: at the Cheval Blanc Paris, Arnaud Donckele cooks at Plénitude, and the same hotel adds the Japanese restaurant Hakuba with two stars and the brasserie Le Tout-Paris on the 7th floor with one star. At the Hotel Balzac Paris, a secret door leads from the lobby into the restaurant Pierre Gagnaire, which is run independently and holds three stars.
The Peninsula Paris · DiningTwo stars go to the restaurant le Meurice Alain Ducasse at Le Meurice Paris, where Amaury Bouhours cooks in a dining room modeled on the Salon de la Paix at Versailles, and to L’Oiseau Blanc on the roof of The Peninsula Paris, with a view of the Eiffel Tower.
One star is held, among others, by Eugénie Béziat’s Espadon at the Ritz Paris, awarded in March 2024, and Grégory Garimbay’s Bellefeuille at the Saint James Paris.
Beyond the Michelin stars, the luxury hotels in Paris have their own institutions. The Hôtel Barrière Le Fouquet's Paris is home to the Brasserie Fouquet’s on the corner of the Champs-Élysées and Avenue George V, the Hotel Plaza Athenee Paris to the 1936 Art Deco brasserie Le Relais Plaza, and at the Hôtel du Louvre Paris the Brasserie du Louvre cooks from Paul Bocuse’s recipes.
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
Famous chefs from around the world: the Bvlgari Hôtel Paris houses the restaurant Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, the Raffles Le Royal Monceau Paris Matsuhisa Paris, Nobu Matsuhisa’s only restaurant in France, and The Peninsula Paris the Cantonese LiLi.
For the rest of the evening, almost every luxury hotel in Paris has a bar of its own. The Bar Hemingway at the Ritz Paris does without music, Bar 228 at Le Meurice Paris has live jazz every night, and Le Bar Botaniste at the Shangri-La Paris was named a Star Bar by the Forbes Travel Guide in 2025.
For a view over the rooftops, head to ROOF, the planted rooftop garden of around 1,000 m² at the Hôtel Madame Rêve Paris, to the rooftop bar on the 9th floor of the Hotel Dame des Arts Paris and to the Bonnie Bar at the very top of the SO/ Paris.
For a starred dinner without a taxi
Plan your room and your table together – and keep an eye on closing days. Epicure at Le Bristol Paris is open Tuesday to Saturday, the restaurant Le Gabriel at La Réserve Paris only Monday to Friday, and Plénitude and Hakuba at the Cheval Blanc Paris Tuesday to Saturday for dinner. So for a Saturday night, Le Bristol Paris or the Cheval Blanc Paris is the right choice, and during the week La Réserve Paris as well. Our travel advisors will gladly coordinate your arrival and your reservation.
Palaces with a history: luxury hotels in Paris from the Place de la Concorde to the old main post office
Louis XV had Ange-Jacques Gabriel build the palace on the Place de la Concorde in 1758; it has been a hotel since 1909, today the Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris, whose Grands Appartements were designed by Karl Lagerfeld. On the Place Vendôme, César Ritz and Auguste Escoffier opened the Ritz Paris in 1898; Coco Chanel lived here for more than 30 years, and Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald were regulars. Le Meurice Paris has been welcoming guests on the Rue de Rivoli since 1835; Salvador Dalí made it his second home.
Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris · 8th ArrondissementGrand hotels of the 19th century: the Hôtel du Louvre Paris opened in 1855 at the initiative of Napoleon III, and the InterContinental Paris - Le Grand was inaugurated by Empress Eugénie on May 5, 1862. The Jockey Club had its home at the Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opéra from 1863 to 1913, and in 1895 the Lumière brothers showed their first films to the public in the same building.
The Peninsula Paris · 16th ArrondissementOther luxury hotels bear the stamp of the Belle Époque and the Roaring Twenties. The Peninsula Paris opened in 1908 as the Hotel Majestic, was the seat of UNESCO from 1946 to 1958 and in 1973 the place where the Paris Peace Accords were signed. The Hotel Plaza Athenee Paris opened on Avenue Montaigne on April 20, 1913, and Le Bristol Paris on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in April 1925; in 1940 it became the seat of the American Embassy.
Artists and stars as guests: the founders of the department store Le Bon Marché built the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia Paris in 1910 as a grand hotel on the Left Bank; Picasso, Matisse and Josephine Baker lived here. The Raffles Le Royal Monceau Paris, opened in 1928 and today a 5-star hotel with the Palace distinction, was a meeting place for Josephine Baker and Ernest Hemingway.
The façades of many luxury hotels in Paris hide former town mansions. The Saint James Paris was built in 1892 as the Fondation Thiers; La Réserve Paris occupies a house from 1854 that belonged to the family of the Duc de Morny until 1888; and the Shangri-La Paris was the residence of Prince Roland Bonaparte, a grandnephew of Napoleon I, built from 1892 to 1896.

- VIP service and personal advice

The history of two smaller hotels goes back even further: the Relais Christine Paris stands on the remains of an Augustinian monastery from 1231, whose vaults now house the spa. Le Pavillon de la Reine Paris bears the name of Anne of Austria: to mark her engagement to Louis XIII, today’s Place des Vosges was inaugurated in 1612.
The luxury hotels of the Left Bank are literary. At the Hôtel L’Hotel Paris, Oscar Wilde lived until his death in 1900; in the cellar bar of the Hotel Pont Royal Paris, Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Romain Gary used to meet; and in the vaulted cellar of the Pavillon Faubourg Saint Germain, Léo Ferré began his career at the cabaret Quod Libet.
And some luxury hotels in Paris had a completely different life before. The Hôtel Madame Rêve Paris moved into the main post office by the Louvre, inaugurated in 1888; the Cheval Blanc Paris into the Art Deco wing of the Samaritaine, built from 1926 to 1928; and the Sax Paris was a telephone exchange.
Award-winning luxury hotels in Paris: Michelin Keys, Forbes and Palace
Michelin Keys recognize hotels, not restaurants. The top tier, three Michelin Keys, is held by seven luxury hotels in this selection in Paris. Our tip among them: Le Bristol Paris with its garden and three-star restaurant, the Ritz Paris on the Place Vendôme and La Réserve Paris with just 40 rooms and suites.
Le Bristol Paris · 8e ArrondissementThree Keys also go to the Saint James Paris in its private park, the Cheval Blanc Paris on the Seine, Le Meurice Paris facing the Tuileries and the Hotel Plaza Athenee Paris on Avenue Montaigne.
Bvlgari Hôtel Paris · 8. ArrondissementTwo Keys go to five hotels, including the Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris, The Peninsula Paris and the Bvlgari Hôtel Paris.
One Key is held by eleven more hotels, many of them boutique hotels. If you are looking for a small hotel with a distinction, book the Grand Hôtel du Palais Royal Paris, the Château des Fleurs Paris or the Relais Christine Paris.
Five stars in the Forbes Travel Guide go to nine hotels: six of the seven three-Key hotels plus the Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris, the Shangri-La Paris and the Mandarin Oriental Paris.
Four stars go to eight hotels, including the Saint James Paris, The Peninsula Paris and the Bvlgari Hôtel Paris; the Forbes Travel Guide lists eight more as Recommended, such as the Hyatt Paris Madeleine.
France also awards its own Palace distinction, reserved for 5-star hotels. In 2011 Le Bristol Paris became the first hotel in the country to receive it, the Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris followed in 2018 (renewed in 2025) and the Cheval Blanc Paris in 2026.
Individual luxury hotels have won further prizes: La Réserve Paris was named World’s Best Hotel by La Liste in 2025 and 2026, the Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris ranks 14th among the World’s 50 Best Hotels 2026, and the Mandarin Oriental Paris takes first place for Paris in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2026.
Where to stay in Paris: Louvre and Vendôme, Champs-Élysées, Trocadéro, Saint-Germain or the Marais – the right location for your 5-star hotel
The addresses are spread across almost all the central arrondissements, and every neighborhood has its own rhythm.
Cheval Blanc Paris · 2e ArrondissementLouvre, Tuileries, Place Vendôme and Palais Royal (1st and 2nd arrondissements): if you are looking for a 5-star hotel in Paris right in the historic center, this is the place. For the classics we recommend the Ritz Paris on the Place Vendôme and Le Meurice Paris on the Rue de Rivoli, looking out over the Jardin des Tuileries. If you want the Seine outside your window, book the Cheval Blanc Paris on the Quai du Louvre.
Opéra and Pigalle (2nd and 9th arrondissements): on the southern slope of Montmartre we recommend Le Pigalle Paris on the Rue Frochot. Closer to the Palais Garnier and the big department stores, you stay at the Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opéra on the corner of Rue Scribe and Boulevard des Capucines or at the Kimpton St Honoré Paris on the Boulevard des Capucines, with the Sequoia bar on the roof.
Champs-Élysées and the Golden Triangle (8th arrondissement): no other area in this selection has as many luxury hotels. Our tip: the Hotel Plaza Athenee Paris with its red awnings on Avenue Montaigne, the Bvlgari Hôtel Paris with its 25-meter pool on Avenue George V and, near the Arc de Triomphe, the Château des Fleurs Paris in a 1910 mansion on Rue Vernet.
Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Concorde and Madeleine (8th arrondissement): between the Élysée Palace and the Place de la Concorde we recommend the 5-star hotel Le Bristol Paris on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, with its large garden, La Réserve Paris on Avenue Gabriel and the Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris on the Place de la Concorde.
- Breakfast for two, every day
- Room upgrade subject to availability
- Hotel credit, e.g. US$100
- Early check-in and late check-out
- VIP service and personal advice
- Points and status in the hotel programme
At no extra cost: you pay the same rate as booking direct with the hotel – the suitespot benefits come on top, free of charge.
Trocadéro, Étoile and the west (16th arrondissement): for the Eiffel Tower outside your window we recommend the Shangri-La Paris on the Chaillot hill opposite the tower and, on Avenue Kléber, the 5-star hotel The Peninsula Paris. For peace and greenery, stay at the Saint James Paris, tucked away in a private garden near the Porte Dauphine.
Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Latin Quarter and the 7th arrondissement (Left Bank): on the Left Bank we recommend the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia Paris on Boulevard Raspail and, smaller and more private, the Relais Christine Paris on Rue Christine. In the 7th arrondissement you find more luxury hotels, including the Sax Paris near the Champ-de-Mars.
The Marais and Bastille (3rd, 4th and 11th arrondissements): for town mansions and narrow lanes we recommend Le Pavillon de la Reine Paris, right on the Place des Vosges. For a more modern stay, book the SO/ Paris on the banks of the Seine between Bastille and the Marais, with the Bonnie Bar at the very top.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
In Paris, the arrondissement tells you little about the price. In the 8th, the Hotel Napoleon Paris from 300 € is just a few streets away from La Réserve Paris from 1,815 €; in the 16th, the Hotel Keppler Paris from 260 € is not far from The Peninsula Paris from 1,462 €. So choose the neighborhood first, based on where you want to spend your days: museums and the Seine in the 1st, fashion and boulevards in the 8th, Eiffel Tower views in the 16th, cafés and bookshops on the Left Bank.
What a night at a 5-star hotel in Paris costs – and what is included
Prices start at 180 € at Le Pigalle Paris and go up to 1,815 € at La Réserve Paris; half of the hotels are below 430 € a night. The table shows a selection of 25 luxury hotels from every neighborhood and price range. You will find all the other hotels with their current prices in the hotel list further down; for two hotels without a fixed price, our travel advisors will give you the price on request.

What is included at all luxury hotels in Paris: daily breakfast for two – at the Ritz Paris in the Salon Marie-Louise, at the Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris as an American breakfast. At 66 hotels the benefits apply from the first night, at eight only from two nights.
Upgrade and check-in: at 68 hotels you get an upgrade, usually on arrival and subject to availability; at Le Bristol Paris, the Shangri-La Paris and The Peninsula Paris it is granted at booking. Early check-in and late check-out are possible at most hotels subject to availability, and at two hotels one of the two is guaranteed.
The hotel credit is worth a closer look. 54 luxury hotels add one, usually 100 US dollars. At Le Bristol Paris it is for the spa; at the Mandarin Oriental Paris suites get 200 US dollars, split between restaurant and spa (not included in every rate); and at The Peninsula Paris you can use it for food, drinks or the spa.
Plus extras at individual luxury hotels: the Ritz Paris takes you to the airport and picks you up again, La Réserve Paris does the same from two nights (not included in every rate), and the Cheval Blanc Paris picks you up at the airport or the train station.
Points and status: 52 of the 74 luxury hotels belong to a loyalty program. Marriott Bonvoy is represented with 14 hotels, ALL (Accor) with ten, I Prefer with nine, IHG One Rewards and the Leaders Club with four each, World of Hyatt with three, and Hilton Honors and Melia Rewards with two each; on top of that come Shangri-La Golden Circle, Fans of Mandarin Oriental, SLH Invited and Relais & Châteaux. At the Sax Paris you earn double Hilton Honors points.
Paris through the seasons: in the warmer months the garden restaurants and roof terraces open, such as La Terrasse at the Saint James Paris from May to September or Le Jardin Français at Le Bristol Paris. In autumn and winter the spas and indoor pools of the luxury hotels come into their own, and at the Sax Paris you can still swim outdoors. When to book a 5-star hotel in Paris early: for the Fashion Weeks and during Roland-Garros in late May and early June.
How long to stay: four nights – one for the Louvre and the Tuileries, one for the Left Bank, one for the Trocadéro and the Eiffel Tower, and one for an evening at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

No. The hotel on the Tuileries Garden has been closed since April 27, 2025 and is being converted into a five-star hotel, expected to be completed in 2028; after that it will no longer carry the Westin brand. In the same location we recommend Le Meurice Paris on the Rue de Rivoli, the Mandarin Oriental Paris on the Rue Saint-Honoré or the Maison Barrière Vendôme Paris on the Rue du Mont Thabor.
Which is the best hotel in Paris?
There is no fixed ranking – the best hotel is the one that suits your trip.

Families are well looked after at Le Bristol Paris, with a children’s area, babysitting and a garden. Couples who love the Left Bank book the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia Paris, and to see the Eiffel Tower from your room, stay at the Shangri-La Paris on the Chaillot hill. Our travel advisors will gladly help you choose among the luxury hotels in Paris in person.
Which 5-star hotels in Paris are right in the center?
Two Palace hotels stand in the heart of the 1st arrondissement: the Cheval Blanc Paris on the Quai du Louvre, right on the Seine, and Le Meurice Paris on the Rue de Rivoli, facing the Jardin des Tuileries. A few steps further, on the Place de la Concorde, is the Rosewood Hotel de Crillon Paris. If you want a view of the Seine, choose the Cheval Blanc; if you like live jazz in the evening, Le Meurice with its Bar 228; and if you are traveling with children, the Crillon with its children’s program Le Petit Crillon.
