Below, we've rounded up the best hotels in Paris, as ranked by our expert Inspectors, to help you plan a stay to remember in the French capital.
Last April, we introduced the MICHELIN Key rating system, highlighting the top hotels in France with one, two, or three Michelin Key distinctions. As part of the 2024 MICHELIN Guide, there are now 24 Three-Key hotels, 38 Two-Key hotels, and 127 One-Key hotels, many located in the vibrant heart of Paris.
For travelers seeking the best places to stay in Paris, we’ve opened up our Iinspectors' little black book to reveal the city’s most exceptional hotels.
Three-Key Hotels
Paris, FranceDestinations in themselves, the Three-Key hotels are so exceptional that they are standalone reasons to hop over to Paris. Spend a night at the sumptuous Saint James, credited with being Paris’ only chateau-hotel, and spend the evening perched on a high stool in the library bar, an Old-Fashioned in hand, surrounded by years of history. Speaking of history, you can’t do better than the Ritz, with its regal rooms and huge bouncy, beds where staff will have your initials embroidered on every pillow, even just for a night. A hotel of high points is also the Cheval Blanc, which has enough to tempt you to never set foot outside, from its dazzling pool to the rooftop restaurants with some of the best rooftop views of Paris you can find in town.
