4 Little Known, Top-Rated Luxury Hotels

As the homeland of luxury hotels, the city naturally has a lot of choices. The luxe trend started in the 19th century with Hotel du Louvre's 5-star rating (the first hotel to reach that level). The splendor continued Cesar Ritz's hotel on Place Vendôme in 1898.

Today, Paris is the truly the home of the luxury hotel with a wide selection of glorious, top-end accommodations. To get you started, we review four of our top-rated but lesser-known Paris luxury hotels, including one on Place des Vosges in the Marais.

The Nine Best 4-Star Hotels in Paris

One of the ways the best hotels are distinguished is by the star-rating system. In France, the top tier is the Palace hotels, a level above 5 stars. There's a lot to like about the hotels in those two top rating categories, but we love the 4-star hotels in Paris. Not as famous (or as pricey) as their lofty cousins, they nonetheless offer a level of luxury and comfort that you won't soon forget.

Because Paris is a world destination and one of the top hotel cities, there are a lot of great 4-stars to choose from. So, we took it upon ourselves to put together our curated list of the nine best 4-star luxury gems. We awarded many of them our very top rating of "Superb-Plus!"
