Paris counts among its most prestigious addresses palaces and five-star hotels housed in historic buildings from the 18th to the 20th century. These establishments occupy prime locations, such as the Ritz Paris on Place Vendôme, the Plaza Athénée in the Golden Triangle on Avenue Montaigne, or Le Meurice facing the Tuileries Gardens. Cheval Blanc Paris, Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, and Mandarin Oriental on Rue Saint-Honoré exemplify this tradition of hotel excellence in the city center districts. These hotels offer rooms and suites decorated with period furniture, gourmet restaurants often awarded Michelin stars, and relaxation areas including spas and indoor pools. The Royal Monceau Raffles Paris features a 75-foot (23-meter) pool and a My Blend spa by Clarins, while Mandarin Oriental provides a 9,700-square-foot (900 square meters) wellness space.
