The City Of Light topped the 2016 Forbes Travel Guide star ratings, but the strong debut belies a stranger truth: either Paris has, until this year, never had a five- or four-star-worthy hotel since the guide began in 1958 or Forbes just hadn’t been checking hotels in Forbes magazine’s third most-visited city.
Whatever happened, whatever circumstance or bad concierge day led to Paris never receiving a single starred hotel in 58 years, it’s now absolutely lousy with luxury accommodations so new they didn’t exist a year ago. Here’s the list of hotels rate:
