The French government has named Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme one
of eight official palace hotels in France,
a five-star classification of the highest distinction. The ‘palace
hotel’ moniker is one that many Parisian hotels have adopted over the
years as a self-appointed and unofficial title.

Last year, the government of France decided to make it an
official category and spelt out specific criteria for five-star properties to
compete for the prized rating of ‘Distinction
Palace’, stating that this new “tourism version of the ‘Pulitzer
Prize’” will be awarded by a prestigious jury made up of respected
personalities from the worlds of hospitality, architecture and design,
literature, film and television, science and business.

“We are delighted
that Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, and indeed the Park Hyatt brand internationally,
has been honored as a founding recipient of France’s official Distinction
Palace rating,” said General Manager, Michel Jauslin. “We have long felt that our hotel is symbolic
of true five-star hospitality, and we are proud that the French government has
acknowledged the dedication of our hotel, and our amazing staff, to delivering
our special blend of complete luxury and relaxed sophistication that today’s
traveler has come to expect and enjoy.”
