The Peninsula Paris is located in the heart of the 16th arrondisement just a few steps from the Arc de Triomphe and the Avenue des Champs Elysées. The elegant 19th century property first opened in 1908 as one of Paris' most famous “grand hotels”. Following the wartime occupation of Paris, the hotel was then converted into the UNESCO headquarters and in 1958 became the conference centre for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs until 2009. For the past 6 years it has undergone a complete renovation and now offers 200 rooms, rooftop terraces and six dining venues.
Prices start at: €1,095

The Hôtel Plaza Athénée has been closed for the past 10 months for extensive renovation work including an expansion into three adjacent buildings.  Fourteen new rooms have been added and the hotel now has a total of 208 rooms and suites. In addition, a new ballroom and further meeting space has been created. The hotel is located on Avenue Montaigne near the Champs-Élysées and the Eiffel Tower. The Hôtel Plaza Anthénée is a member of the Dorchester Collection.
Prices start at: €995  

The Shangri-La and Mandarin Oriental hotels in Paris and the K2 in Courchevel have all been awarded the exclusive 'Palace' status. Only 16 hotels in France carry the Palace label. Established by the French Minister of Tourism in November 2010, the Distinction Palace is designed to award official recognition to the finest 5-star hotels. They must have exceptional qualities that embody French standards of excellence and contribute to enhancing the image of France throughout the world.
