Palace Hotels of France

When nothing less than France's highest distinction will do.

Ideal for

Travellers looking for the highest official honour French luxury hospitality can bestow, and for the French art de vivre in its most accomplished form.

Editorial description

Few countries honour the very highest level of hotel excellence with an official national distinction. France is one of them.

The 'Palace' title is awarded only to exceptional hotels whose standard exceeds even the demanding five-star classification. Comfort and service are part of what it honours; so are heritage and architecture, gastronomy, a distinct cultural identity and France's own art of living.

A Palace is more than a luxury hotel: an institution, standing for one particular idea of France — elegance and discretion, history and craftsmanship, fine cuisine, service, and a bond with its surroundings so close that hotel and destination become one.

In the Collection System, France's Palace hotels make up a category of official excellence. Membership of a brand plays no part in their selection; what counts is that each individual hotel holds one of the world's most prestigious distinctions in hospitality.
