Axel's Words
The great appeal of France lies in the breadth of its luxury offering. You may choose between iconic palatial hotels in Paris, sophisticated coastal resorts on the Riviera and exclusive Alpine retreats with direct piste access. The standard of service, gastronomy and surroundings is consistently high throughout, yet each region leaves its own unmistakable mark on the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Paris is an exceptionally strong luxury destination, but France also boasts an extensive offering on the Riviera, in the Alps, in Provence, across the wine regions and along the Atlantic coast. The character of a stay changes markedly from one region to the next.
For many trips, spring and early autumn are outstanding choices. For the Riviera, May, June and September tend to be particularly appealing, whilst Alpine luxury hotels reach their peak during the winter season.
For the most sought-after properties, booking several months ahead is strongly advisable — especially for summer on the Riviera, winter in Courchevel, or stays over Christmas, New Year, the fashion weeks and other major events.
Not always. At luxury hotels in France, many rooms are sold on a room-only basis, so it is well worth comparing rates and packages carefully before confirming a reservation.
Not necessarily, though a great many do. Resorts and Alpine hotels tend to offer more extensive wellness facilities, whilst city hotels in Paris sometimes provide more compact, though no less exclusive, spa experiences.
Yes, particularly certain resorts and Alpine properties that offer larger suites, dedicated family services, activities and more generous communal spaces. Other hotels are very much oriented towards couples and adult travellers.
Look at the overall package rather than simply the headline rate. Offers that include breakfast, spa credit, transfers, dinner or late checkout can represent considerably better value in the round.
France brings together a strong national hotel tradition with gastronomy, design, wine and service of the very highest order. Beyond that, the Palace distinction gives the country's finest properties a particularly clear and coveted identity of their own.
