France strengthens its positioning in the luxury segment with six new Palaces, including three in Paris, bringing the total number of awarded properties to 33.
The 2026 selection of the “Palace” label, awarded by Atout France, includes six new properties, among which three Parisian Palaces: Bvlgari Hotel Paris, Cheval Blanc Paris and Fouquet’s Paris.
Created in 2010, this label represents the highest level of recognition in French hospitality. Reserved for five-star hotels, it highlights properties offering exceptional experiences, combining prime location, heritage value, outstanding service and international reputation.
Paris further confirms its leading position with 13 Palaces, including Hôtel de Crillon, Le Bristol, Four Seasons George V, Le Meurice, Plaza Athénée, Royal Monceau, Shangri-La Paris, La Réserve Paris, The Peninsula Paris and Hôtel Lutetia, now joined by the three newly awarded properties.
Granted for a limited period, the distinction is based on highly demanding criteria and serves as a key benchmark for travel professionals in the luxury segment.
