Top 10 points hotels in France

During the pandemic, many travelers accumulated points and miles while staying home for over a year. As travel gradually resumes, it's an excellent opportunity to redeem those rewards—consider France for your next major getaway.

With a plethora of outstanding points hotels across the country, choosing the perfect one can be a challenge. From opulent to charming (think: luxury or budget-friendly) in Paris and beyond, here are some of TPG's top picks.

Prince de Galles, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Paris

A fixture in the French hospitality landscape, the Prince de Galles has welcomed guests since 1929, with its Art Deco ambiance enhancing its elegant French luxury aesthetic. Situated close to the Champs-Elysées, many rooms boast balconies that provide stunning views of the glittering Paris skyline. Check out TPG's review of Prince de Galles.

At this Bonvoy property, room rates begin at $903 or 70,000 Bonvoy points per night as of January 2022.

Hotel du Louvre, Paris

Having reopened in June 2019 following a major renovation, Hyatt's Hotel du Louvre boasts 106 rooms and 58 suites, all bright and airy, featuring high ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. Artistic elements like a glass Mona Lisa installation and a special suite honoring painter Camille Pissarro serve as a reminder that you’re just steps away from one of the world's most renowned art museums (as if the hotel's name didn't give it away). Check out our review of Hotel du Louvre.

Room rates begin at $437 or 25,000 Hyatt points per night.

The Niepce Paris Hotel, a Curio Collection by Hilton, Paris

While Hilton features another Curio Collection property in Paris (the historic Maison Astor), the 52-room boutique Niepce Paris Hotel truly stands out as a hidden treasure. We adore a hotel that showcases the breathtaking works of the influential female photographer Janine Niepce—her stunning images adorn even the ceilings.

Room rates start at $263 or 69,000 Honors points per night.

Hotel Berri, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Paris

Another gem in the Parisian Luxury Collection, Hotel Berri, which opened in 2018, is truly a feast for the eyes—imagine vast expanses of marble, a private art collection, and exquisite handcrafted sculptures. The guest rooms feature design touches such as jewel-toned velvet sofas, elegant canopy beds, and Diptyque amenities, making a stay at Hotel Berri a refined and cosmopolitan experience.

Room rates begin at $564 or 70,000 Bonvoy points per night.

Hotel Grand Powers, a Small Luxury Hotel in Paris

Hyatt boasts several luxury properties in Paris, but the Hotel Grand Paris embodies quintessential Parisian chic. This hotel exudes an intimate atmosphere that larger chain hotels often lack, offering a truly unique experience. With 50 guestrooms and suites adorned in hues like powder pink, celadon green, or blue, the furniture and fabric selections create delightful contrasts: marble paired with velvet, oak alongside brass, and lacquer mixed with silk.

Room rates start at $483 or 25,000 Hyatt points per night.

Muse St. Tropez, a Small Luxury Hotel

Just a glance at the stylish cabanas and inviting loungers by the MUSE pool will make you crave a sun-soaked summer escape.

Radisson Blu Hotel, Nice

The newly renovated Radisson Blu Hotel in Nice is situated on the sun-drenched Promenade des Anglais. Many guest rooms boast stunning sea views, and the hotel features its own private beach. However, the highlight is the rooftop pool and terrace, offering a stylish ambiance with breathtaking views, delicious cocktails, and light bites.

Room rates begin at $145 or 70,000 Radisson points per night.

L'Hermitage Gantois, Autograph Collection in Lille
