Paris Hotels

Top-tier accommodations in Paris practically define class, while B&Bs 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-star hotel, you should not expect both a shower and a bath).
