9 Paris Palace Hotels
| February 01, 2018
What makes a Paris Palace hotel special? In short, everything. A head above the five-star rating, the Palace designation—created in 2010—requires hotels to meet hundreds of exacting standards both obvious (location, size, service, gastronomy, etc.) and not so obvious (pool, separate toilets, commitment to sustainability...). It's therefore no surprise that there are only nine palaces in Paris, with two—the newly renovated Ritz and Hotel de Crillon—waiting in the wings. It is also no surprise that they are all, in their own way, sublime—and sublimely expensive.
