Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris

Built in 1928 in the Golden Triangle off the Champs-Élysées, this landmark palace hotel sits 1 km from the Arc de Triomphe and 2 km from the Eiffel Tower. Its 243 rooms and suites, styled after Louis XVI and redesigned by Pierre-Yves Rochon, come with flat-screen TVs, minifridges and in-room espresso machines; select suites add private terraces and garden balconies, some framing the Eiffel Tower.

Three restaurants (including Le Cinq, helmed by chef Christian Le Squer) hold six Michelin stars between them, alongside an afternoon tea lounge and a bar furnished with antiques and 19th-century art. The spa has six treatment rooms, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna and a steam room, and the property sits above a wine cellar holding about 50,000 bottles.

Room service runs 24/7. It suits guests comparing Paris's palace-category hotels who want Michelin-level dining and historic Art Deco architecture in one address.
