Top-tier accommodations in Paris practically define class, while smaller family-owned and boutique properties set the standard in charm. Still, be aware that not all French hotels share American standards when it comes to amenities (for example, unless you’re staying at a four- or five-star hotel, you might not get both a shower and a bath). Average rates, based on double occupancy, are $650 a night at luxury hotels, and $275 a night and $125 a night at moderate and budget accommodations, respectively.
