Hotel categories are defined by the French Ministry of Tourism as follows
: 1 star hotels are modest, with small rooms, usually have shared
toilet and shower facilities and sometimes expect you to take the stairs
up to that sixth floor room - as they have no lift ! These lower budget
places are often family businesses, and as a result often make up for
in character what they lack in professional service. 2 star hotels offer a good level of basic comfort and service,
with standard amenities such as W.C, shower, telephone, television, etc..
in each individual room. The two star hotel is ideal for those weekend
breaks or short stays where you want all the basic creature comforts,
but don't want to pay over the odds for them. 3 star hotels offer a high level of
comfort, and tend to pay more attention to service and individual assistance.
With its increased luxury and customer care, the three star is the perfect
choice for those envisaging a prolonged stay or looking to spend a vacation
in a hotel in France. 4 star hotels are the real crème de la crème of
the French hotel industry. With lavish entrance halls and porters to assist
you to your palatial suite, these establishments cut absolutely no corners
in offering you a truly exceptional stay. A four star makes any vacation
a real pleasure, as the weary traveler is pampered to a maximum, allowing
them to forget about their troubles and woes entirely. Amongst the four
stars there are also the luxury four star hotels, such as The Ritz, Georges
V, Le Crillon, etc.. which give you the chance to stay in the style that
is usually reserved for the rich and famous, unless of course you are
the rich and famous, as then you will already know ! |
