Travel + Leisure says..."This Place de la Concorde landmark, built at the direction of King Louis XV in 1758, hasn't lost its ornate air. Flat-screen televisions and high-speed Internet access bring modern touches to suites and salons still filled with gilt, mirrors, and Baccarat crystal, in addition to genuine Aubusson carpets and Wedgwood medallions. Even the entry-level rooms, at 115 square feet, are not unusually large, but have sitting areas and dressing rooms. The Bar du Crillon is nothing short of elegant, with its mirrored mosaics, red velvet-covered chairs, and dripping chandeliers. Request a song at the piano, then sit back on a settee and sip a Baccarat cocktail (Grand Marnier, lemon, cranberry, Champagne RosA)." -From Travel + Leisure

Travel + Leisure says..."In an unbeatable location near the Champs-AlysAes, this majestic 1928 white-stone hotel redefined elegance when it reopened its doors as a Four Seasons in 1999. Today, it's tops with couture-clad jet-setters and bons vivants seeking a hushed city retreat with all the modern conveniences. Guests are greetedaand treatedato an eyeful of blooms upon arrival in the marble lobby; expect a sumptuous flurry of Flemish tapestries, crystal chandeliers, 19th-century furniture, and brocade fabrics throughout the public spaces. The 245 spacious rooms (doubles average a spacious 500 square feet) echo the same luxe detailing, and many rooms have private terraces overlooking the courtyard and rooftops beyond. And a heaven-can-wait full-service hotel spa adjoins an indoor pool ringed by a mural of the gardens at Versailles. But it's chef Eric Briffordawho oversees the hotel's Michelin two-starred restaurant, Le Cinqawho approaches godliness for his divine creations: fillet of red tuna with caviar from the Sologne region and tangy marinated vegetables, and Manjari chocolate soufflA and black-currant pulp. Lucky are the diners who can float upstairs to their rooms." -From Travel + Leisure
Conde Nast Traveler says..."In Paris's Golden Triangleathe soignAe district between avenues Montaigne, George V, and the Champs-AlysAesathis property has pastel rooms with Louis XV-style furnishings and chandeliers that create "a handsome medium for the many artworks displayed." However, "the number of sitting chairs can give it a crowded feel." The Royal suites have a steam room and sauna. Done in gray and gold, Le Cinq cooks up traditional French provisions like wild quail and foie gras." -From Conde Nast Traveler

Travel + Leisure says..."This hip yet plush hangout between the Champs-AlysAes and Eiffel Tower is as au courant as it was when it opened in 1911, thanks to a 2000 refurbishment courtesy of its new owner, the Sultan of Brunei. Today, the balconied freestone front is covered in signature red awnings; inside, crimson bouquets enliven nearly every surface. The bar, with a long glowing glass counter meant to resemble an iceberg, is one of the city's hottest scenes. At the Dior Institut spa, scheduled to open September 2008, treatments incorporate the fashion house's fragrances. The high-ceilinged rooms mix classic marble baths and Regency- and Louis XV-style details with modern touches like remote-controlled air-conditioning and a music library with 5,000 song choices. The hotel also offers tours of its 35,000-bottle wine cellar, led by Alain Ducasse's head sommelier, complete with a tasting." -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."Steps from the Champs-AlysAes on a chestnut tree-lined street, this property's rooms are decorated in classic Louis XV, Louis XVI, Regency, or Art Deco styles, and look onto avenue Montaigne, the geranium-filled courtyard, or the Eiffel Tower. Two custom-designed Barbie rooms are a little girl's dream. At Alain Ducasse restaurant, a standout is "the cart with various herbs used for tea infusions." Detox at the Dior Institut spa.

Conde Nast Traveler says..."The location, between the opera house and the Louvre, "is superb at this 18th-century mansion where the staff are "kind, gracious, and friendly." Light-yellow rooms with thick duvets, chandeliers, and crown moldings "are charming and preserve the historical details." Michel Roth turns out contemporary takes on Escoffier-inspired classics at L'Espadon; a raspberry martini is poured at the Bar Hemingway. -From Conde Nast Traveler
Travel + Leisure says..."An institution since 1898, the lavish, opulent Ritzanear the Louvre museum and Tuileries gardensahas maintained its stature as one of Paris's leading hotels despite a plethora of trendy newcomers. Of course, not everyone can claim the Ritz's history: it was the world's first hotel to have a private bath in every room, and everyone from Edward VII to Coco Chanel has called it home (in Chanel's case, for 37 years). A massive renovation in 2007 updated its infrastructure, yet Belle Apoque touches remain. Swan-shaped, gold-plated faucets grace the tubs; a surfeit of period Louis XV, Louis XVI, and Empire furniture fills the rooms; and thousands of euros worth of flowers scent the air each week. Traditional white-glove service, a Roman-style pool ringed with columns, and a Michelin-starred restaurant only add to this lap-of-luxury experience." -From Travel + Leisure

Travel + Leisure says..."Philippe Starck's public-space redo of this Paris institution, adjacent to the picturesque Tuileries gardensaincluding the bar and three-Michelin-starred restaurantabrought surreal new touches like a refrigerator-cooled mirror that's literally frosted, and three-legged tables dressed in fancy shoes. All tradition wasn't cast aside: Italian craftsmen were brought in to restore the lobby's green-and-white marble floors. Rooms, which were themselves renovated in 1998, are starting to show their age, so modern touches like iPod docks set upon the 18th-century furnishings are welcome. It's all complemented by lots of gilt, and no less than 100 yards of Rubelli and BranqueniA fabrics in each room. For such upscale digs, the Meurice is surprisingly family-friendly, offering plenty of family packages and loaning custom-made boats for sailing in the adjacent Tuileries' boat pond.
" -From Travel + LeisureConde Nast Traveler says..."On rue de Rivoli, this 1835 landmark hotel "overlooks the Tuileries Garden with a view of the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, and Eiffel Tower." French designer Charles Jouffre's redesign of the hotel's rooms and suites updated the classic furniture and introduced a palette of light colors and bright accents. Le Meurice restaurant reinterprets French standards, hence dishes like sea urchin with bouillabaisse gelAe." -From Conde Nast Traveler
