Luxury hotels, hotel suites and fine dining restaurants in Paris

Vacations in Paris

If Relais & Châteaux epitomises a French approach to hospitality the world over, then Paris must surely be our spiritual home. The City of Lights is a true shop window for all our values and our approach to hospitality, at the heart of one of the most legendary destinations–our luxury hotels in Paris and incredible restaurants are nestled amid Paris’s cosmopolitan culture, mere footsteps away from its legendary landmarks.

Imagine stays in elegant mansion houses, discreet townhouse hotels, luxurious boutique hotels reached through secret courtyards and palatial, Belle Epoque romantic getaways. All close to a roll-call of world-famous attractions: the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées, the Louvre museum and Place Vendôme–and a certain wrought-iron tower built by one Gustave Eiffel that not only the perfect symbol of the city but that somehow manages to impose itself in your eyeline wherever you are. With many of our luxury hotels in Paris found in its most central and most fashionable areas, close to the Seine river, you are walking distance from the city’s many cultural and shopping highlights.

World-famous gourmet restaurants in Paris

Experience the City of Lights through our boutique hotels in Paris

Simply walking the streets of Paris is to take the pulse of the city and get an intensely personal perspective. From its tree-lined boulevards to complicated mazes of streets found in areas like Le Marais or the Left Bank, you will feel immersed in its heritage, its architecture, its attitude.

On your way, encounter famous cultural institutions, museums and galleries, ancient churches and cathedrals, chic shopping destinations including Rue Saint-Honoré or the Champs Elysées, with myriad cafes and iconic pavement brasseries where you can recharge en route. For many, Paris is the pinnacle of sophisticated urban life. For us, our hotels in Paris and our standalone restaurants exemplify this art de vivre (the art of living).

Luxury hotels in Paris perfect for world-famous sights and city secrets

Every visitor to Paris arrives with a long list of cultural sights and landmarks–the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and Sacre Coeur, the Grand Palais and Panthéon. There’s that trip on the Seine by Bateaux Mouches, not forgetting world-class museums to immerse yourself in: the Louvre Museum, Musée d’Orsay or the modern art of the Centre Pompidou.

But our concierges can direct you to a side of Paris that’s somewhat less explored. This is the city that can feel more like a village, or like a slice of country living hidden in plain sight–even car-free streets filled with tiny boutiques and sensational underground spas. Explore Paris in a different way–a guided tour by Vespa, perhaps? Visit some of Paris’s more esoteric museums, like the Musée du Parfum, presenting the history of fragrance.

Discover the lungs of Paris too: plentiful green spaces where you can recharge and relax never far from the attractions on your list. Explore Parc Monceau, Jardin des Tuileries, Jardin de Luxembourg or Jardin de Plantes (where you’ll find the city’s zoo, a museum of natural history and a botanical garden). Head to Parc des Buttes-Chaumont for great views of the Parisian skyline.

Ask our concierges where the nearest golf course is–it won’t be far. Within our luxury hotels in Paris, enjoy in-room massages, spa and beauty treatments, yoga lessons or sessions with personal trainers.

Relais & Châteaux in Paris exemplifies the finer side of life

 Our luxury hotels in Paris are on the smaller side–that’s because all our properties are independently owned, and family run, often for generations. Our accommodation and restaurants are often found in historic buildings filled with stories, and our owners are guardians of design and cultural heritage from an earlier time. That all translates into a personal feel and a level of attentive service that’s only possible because of our ‘human-scale’ approach to hospitality.

Our eco hotels in Paris and our standalone restaurants all maintain strong links with their local communities–with suppliers for food, drink and other services from their own arrondissement within Paris, and long-term relationships with farmers, growers, fishers and winemakers outside the city. Our owners also pride themselves on perpetuating and preserving the unique characteristics of their locality–that’s why they will be only too happy to share their insider’s tips to exploring this bucket-list destination.
