Paris five-star hotels

Le Meurice
With a location opposite the Tuileries Garden on the rue de Rivoli, the Hotel Le 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.

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.

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.

George V
Following a two-year, US $125 million renovation a number of years ago, this classic hotel reopened as a member of the Four Seasons group. A third of its 244 guest accommodations are suites, and many rooms have private terraces.

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, a member of the Sofitel group, 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 in the 16th arrondissement, near the Trocadero and the Seine.
