Hôtel Plaza Athénée
Located on Avenue Montaigne within stumbling distance of the Seine, Hôtel Plaza Athénée is perhaps the most recognizable hotel in Paris, with its vine-covered façade and bright-red awnings, not to mention its cameos in Emily in Paris and Sex and the City. The experience at this 208-room Dorchester Collection hotel can be summed up in four words: “best hotel in Paris,” per one voter.
Make sure you hit all four on-site restaurants during your stay: Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée, which opened in January 2022 and landed a Michelin star two months later; chic brasserie Le Relais Plaza; La Galerie, known for its decadent pastries; and of course, La Cour Jardin — its lush, tucked-away courtyard is one of the most romantic spots in Paris.
