In the French hotel industry, the term palace is particularly reserved for certain establishments, in a strict sense, specifically being used to describe a luxury hotel. Since 2010, the title has been officially designated by Atout France as a grade classification of certain French hotels, around half of which are located in Paris.{{cite web |url=http://atout-france.fr/services/la-distinction-palace |title=La Distinction Palace |work=Atout France |date=24 October 2014 |accessdate=2018-09-21}} It is exclusively awarded to five-star hotels offering the highest level of service to their customers. At the end of August 2017, only 31 hotels out of 343 have been admitted to this category.

The term is used sometimes by other French hotels (at least in their commercial name; for example, the former {{ill|Élysée Palace hotel|fr|Hôtel Élysée Palace (Paris)}} in Paris) that do not yet meet the criteria defined by law.

align="center" | June 2012align="center" | Ramatuellealign="center" |2003Although the buildings were first constructed in the 1970s, the establishment had been abandoned before Michel Reybier acquired it in 1997. Reybier reopened in 2003 as 12 villas with 51 rooms. Finally, under the leadership of the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, now a member of the juries, the establishment was transformed in 2009 into a luxury hotel, with only 7 rooms and 16 suites. Therefore, there is no continuity between the two managements.
