Four-star hotels in Paris

The following is the list of Parisian hotels categorized as "four stars" by the French government. This is currently (2008) the highest rating of a hotel, although many luxury properties add a postfix "luxe" to specify that they exceed the standards mandated by the four-star rating. The system is due to be reformed in 2009 (it will be based on the more typical five-star scale) and many of these hotels will be recategorized as five stars.

The minimum requirements for the 4-star rating are:

• A minimum of 10 rooms
• A minimum size of 10 sq/m for single rooms and 12 sq/m for double rooms
• Hotels with 2 or more storeys have to have an elevator (+ second elevator or comparable device).
• Private bathroom in all rooms (minimum size 3 sq/m) and at least 50% of them have to have both a bathtub and a shower.
• Private restroom in 90% of rooms
• 2 communal restrooms and two washbasins on one of the first two floors or in the basement
• Phone service in all rooms
• At least two foreign languages (English and at least one other) have to be spoken by the staff
