Why Paris for a Ultra-Luxury trip
Paris's summit is the palace-designated hotel, a French distinction reserved for a handful of addresses, and within them the signature suites that occupy entire floors, some with rooftop terraces looking across the zinc rooftops to the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur. Expect butlers, private dining rooms and in-suite spa treatments, plus concierges who can open couture salons and arrange private museum viewings. The finest suites in the 1st and 8th arrondissements are effectively private apartments and are reserved well in advance.
Paris set the template for the grand hotel, and it still does palace-style luxury better than anywhere: gilded salons, couture-trained service, and suites that open onto the Seine, the Tuileries or the Eiffel Tower. The city rewards travelers who want culture at arm's length, with the Louvre, haute couture houses and Michelin-starred dining all within a short walk of the best addresses.
When to go: April through June and September through October bring mild temperatures, long evenings and gardens at their best. July and August are warm and busy with visitors while many Parisians leave town, and winter is cold and gray but quieter and atmospheric around the holidays.
