Featured Hotels in Paris

Ritz Paris

The venerable Ritz, famously associated with Coco Chanel, recently unveiled updated guest rooms and a retractable roof above its winter garden, setting a new standard for year-round leisure. One reader described it as “the standard in Paris, even before the renovations.”

Le Bristol

The 91-year-old Le Bristol, adorned with Louis XVI furniture, underwent a $130 million facelift and now offers stunning floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Eiffel Tower, alongside a spa that has doubled in size. This iconic hotel secured second place in the category this year.

Four Seasons Hotel George V

The landmark Four Seasons Hotel George V has attracted travelers since its opening in 1928, thanks to its exquisite spa, Michelin-three-starred restaurant Le Cinq, and panoramic terraces overlooking Paris. A true testament to luxury.

La Réserve Paris

This year’s top hotel award goes to La Réserve, an urban sanctuary nestled behind the Champs-Élysées. Guests praised its intimate spa and exceptional service, which one reader described as “the most personal we have ever encountered.” The sleek and symmetrical design epitomizes Parisian elegance.
