Paris five-star hotels

Meurice
With a location opposite the Tuileries Garden on the rue de Rivoli, the Hotel Meurice is ideally situated for shopping and sightseeing. It's one of the classic Parisian luxury hotels, with an arcaded façade that you may recognize from Hollywood movies. See review.

Plaza-Athenée
This member of the Leading Hotels of the World chain had a major renovation several years ago. The hotel combines Art-Nouveau architecture with a Louis XV decor, and its clientele runs more to celebrities than to moneyed dowagers or merchant bankers. See review.

De Crillon
The Crillon exudes tradition with its 18th Century architecture and Louis XV decor. Accommodations range from well-appointed bedrooms to lavish suites.

De Vendôme
The Republic of Texas had its embassy here; the 18th Century mansion at No. 1 Place Vendôme is now an intimate luxury hotel with only 29 rooms and 11 suites.

De Vigny
This elegant, clublike hotel near the Champs-Elysées is affiliated with Relais & Chateaux.

George V
The Four Seasons George V Paris (as this classic hotel is now known) reopened in December, 1999 after a two-year, US $125 million renovation. If you're the kind of traveler who needs to check e-mail frequently, you'll appreciate the high-speed Internet connection (via Ethernet jack) in every room.

Le Bristol
With 1200 square meters of real estate, including a large garden and fountains, the Bristol claims to have more space than any other hotel in Paris. It also boasts of having the largest bathrooms, with a full-size tub and shower stall in each.

Ritz
Its name is synonymous with luxury, and the hotel's setting on the Place Vendôme is ideal for a Paris visit. The motto--"Luxury, Discretion, Perfection"---will make you feel welcome whether you're in town for business negotiations, a honeymoon, or an affair.

Scribe
The exclusive Jockey Club (as it was known when it opened in 1860) became the Allied headquarters after the liberation of Paris in War II. The hotel faces the Opéra Garnier.

Square
The Hotel Square is anything but, with its modern door and a four-story exhibition wall of contemporary art. This boutique hotel is near the Trocadero and the Seine.
