A New Standard for Luxury

The Palaces de France distinction was established in 2010 by the French Minister of Tourism as an esteemed accolade awarded exclusively to 5-star hotels that transcend traditional star ratings. It serves as a symbol of French savoir-faire in providing unparalleled services and involves a meticulous evaluation process that sets Palaces de France apart.

The evaluation process for hotels to be awarded the Palace de France distinction begins with Atout France, the organization responsible for promoting tourism in France followed by a commission comprising individuals from various domains such as literature, arts, media, culture, and business. Each property is rigorously assessed considering factors such as exceptional geographical location, unique aesthetics, and design, as well as the rich heritage and historical significance of the site.
