How are The Ritz and FSGV not included? I did read that The Crillon did not apply for the designation.
Does the list get updated every x number of years?

Yes, next applicants shall be awarded in September (they have to fill in their file by end of June). Not 100% sure about the dates but there will be additionnal 'palaces'.
The Ritz is in need of a massive refurbishment so it's not that surprising. But hey, PH is awarded and FSGV rejected? This is unbelievable.

If France wanted to define the concept of political corruption, then they just achieved it.
Crass and entirely unbelievable.

The designation now has all the accuracy a Conde Nast Traveler or Travel and Leisure readers poll.

S-L pool looks pretty stunning, and apparently has an outdoor terrace and abundant natural light.

Going first week of May and trying to justify spending $$$ at the Shangri-La over using points at the Park Hyatt. I like the location of the Park Hyatt as well and if I'm ever going to use my Hyatt points it will be at that property....
Any reason not to do it?

If you can stay for free in Paris, the Park Hyatt is a great hotel with a good location for walking around the center of the city.

Natural light is great, however don't expect too much regarding outdoor terrace. It is a few steps above the street level, with cars passing by but you still cannot be seen from outside.
It depends on what you want to do. For first visit or shopping addicts I would choose the Park Hyatt. I love the fireplace lounge, the terrace (last winter they served raclette in a small chalet), les Orchides, etc. The location is perfect. For a more romantic stay and to enjoy the pool & spa I would prefer the Shangri-La.

To me it is probably the best hotel pool in Paris. It is really beautiful.
