In the French hotel industry, the term palace is particularly reserved for certain establishments, in a strict sense, specifically being used to describe a luxury hotel. Since 2010, the title has been officially designated by Atout France as a grade classification of certain French hotels, around half of which are located in Paris. [1] It is exclusively awarded to five-star hotels offering the highest level of service to their customers. At the end of August 2017, only 31 hotels out of 343 have been admitted to this category.
The term is used sometimes by other French hotels (at least in their commercial name; for example, the former Élysée Palace hotel in Paris) that do not yet meet the criteria defined by law.
