Overview of Famous Paris Hotels

Welcome to the “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous” in Paris…at the Four Season Hotel George V. Photo courtesy of Forbes Magazine.

1. Four Seasons Hotel George V = Located by Arc de Triomphe & Champs-Elysees.  Hugh Hefner brought his “Girls Next Door” here: Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, & Kendra Wilkinson. Elizabeth Taylor honeymooned here, & the Beatles famously finished a song in one of their suites.  Gwyneth Paltrow & the Kardashians enjoy their five-star spa.  Charlie Chaplin & Penelope Cruz have also rested their heads at this very famous hotel.  Check prices at Hotel George V.
2. The Ritz Paris = By the Tuilerie Gardens & Musee de L’Orangerie.  Founded in 1898, the Ritz has serious history: Coco Chanel lived here for a decade ~ you can stay her suite.  Ernest Hemingway was also a frequent guest; their lounge bar is named after him.  And sadly, it was the last hotel Princess Diana ever visited, with Dodi Fayed: they dined here the night of their tragic car crash ~ as shown in “The Crown.”  In spite of this sad history, The Ritz’s location is still one of the best in town, & great for those on a honeymoon or romantic getaway…
3. Le Meurice = Loved by  the Fashion Crowd & Young Hollywood.  This is a favorite of European royalty (like Queen Victoria) ~ but it’s also a favorite with Hollywood royalty, like Elizabeth Taylor & Orson Welles.  Beyonce & Jay-Z have stayed here, while Justin Bieber was kicked out during his stay!  Kristen Stewart, Kim Kardashian, & fashion moguls like Anna Wintour & Kate Moss have all stayed here.  Check prices at Le Meurice.
4. The Shangri-La Paris = Beyonce’s Favorite Paris Hotel ~ Right by the Eiffel Tower!  Legendary burlesque star Dita Von Teese posed for romantic photos in their lush gardens, while Beyonce & Jay-Z love staying here ~ in a Terrace Suite with views of the Eiffel Tower.  Shangri-La Paris is the closest hotel to the Eiffel Tower: your photos will be iconic.
5. Hotel Plaza Athenee = Gorgeously Situated on the Champs-Elysees.  If this hotel looks familiar: it’s where Carrie Bradshaw & Mr. Big (aka Sarah Jessica Parker & Chris Noth) reunited once & for all in the finale of “Sex & the City.”  Other famous guests include Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, Nicole Richie, & Natalie Portman.
