Say 33. The number is symbolic for the new selection of French luxury hotels that has just been announced. The Palace commission, convened by Atout France at the end of 2025, heard several establishments applying for the renewal of their distinction, valid for three years and no longer five as previously. Then, at the beginning of the year, it also considered the applications of new hotels that had never previously received the distinction. Before the final list was officially unveiled today, under the auspices of the Minister for Tourism, SMEs, Commerce and Crafts, Serge Papin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time since its launch in 2010, the commission led by Atout France has proceeded with the withdrawal of this distinction for several establishments: the Park Hyatt Paris Vend\u00f4me and the H\u00f4tel du Palais, also within the American group's purview as a member of The Unbound Collection. The H\u00f4tel du Palais, Biarritz and Park Hyatt Paris-Vend\u00f4me remain focused on their primary mission: taking care of their clients and partners by maintaining the service excellence for which they are renowned. In this spirit, their teams remain fully mobilised to create personalised and memorable experiences for their local and international clientele.<\/em> commented on the H\u00f4tel du Palais in Biarritz and the Park Hyatt Paris-Vend\u00f4me in tandem. Concurrently, the Byblos hotel in Saint-Tropez also lost this distinction, as did the Mandarin Oriental Paris, due to its entry in a phase of transformation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Asian luxury group is not losing its presence among distinguished hotels thanks to its takeover of the Lutetia. last year<\/a>Similarly, the Hyatt group can be pleased to have among its ranks one of the six new hotels recognised as palaces: the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, which is also part of the Unbound Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other award-winning luxury hotels, Cheval Blanc and Fouquet's Paris have joined the exclusive circle of the capital's finest establishments, as has Bvlgari. \"\u00a0This recognition not only elevates the hotel to a select circle of iconic establishments, but also reaffirms Bvlgari's distinctive DNA, inspired by the House's universe and heritage.<\/em>\", stated Silvio Ursini, Executive Vice-President of the Bvlgari Group. In the mountains, the Four Seasons Resort Meg\u00e8ve offers a first palace to the resort, facing the most beautiful hotels in Courchevel and the H\u00f4tel Royal in Evian. Royal too, but on gentler slopes, those of the Champagne hillsides: the Royal Champagne H\u00f4tel & Spa, in Champillon, completes the list of hotels that can proudly call themselves officially \"palace\".\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
