After long searching, we finally decided to go to the Plaza Athenee in Rue de la Montaigne, the hotel where also now Alain Ducasse has his restaurant. I can only say wow, I always thought that e.g. Ritz Carlton is already top notch, but against the Plaza Athenee it is only garbage:

The Plaza Athenee is indeed a fine hotel and Alain Ducasse is well deserved of its three stars.
A point of info however, there is no Ritz Carlton in Paris - I assume you mean the Hotel Ritz and I can assume you have not stayed there since it is a LONG way from garbage - although that would be a good way to describe the average Ritz Carlton when compared to either the Ritz or the Plaza Athenee
