A sense of strong disappointment felt as a tourist caused by some combination of culture shock and the failure of the visiting destination to meet one’s own preconceived expectations. It can result in several psychiatric symptoms such as acute delusional states, anxiety, depression, derealization, the feeling of experiencing prejudice, and more.
The term originates from Japanese tourists experiencing this phenomenon while visiting Paris, France, but in modern times has been used to describe feelings expressed by people complaining online that any given tourist destination was not what they expected.

“I’m not sure what he expected. It sounds like Paris syndrome.”

An intense feeling of sexual longing suffered when one is not with the object of one's affections, very often felt whilst in the city of Paris. The symptoms include developing spontaneous erections in the manner of a 15 year old.

A sort of sick disease, when a person finds themselves waking up in a different bed everyday. May include temptations to throw away all property that is not pink. People affected may spend all their worldly lifetime savings on things such as breast implants, ass implants, pink poodles, and big pink bags to carry the poodles around in.
'Visiting' jail may seem like an honourable goal or accomplishment to such people, as well as at least one lesbian relationship in life. Also the ability to sing like a cat being strangled, and the confidence to share this 'gift' with the world. The diseased also find it compulsory to be a slut, and a porn item of some sort.

The Paris Hilton syndrome refers to the gleeful pleasure that some people get when some essentially harmless prominent or attractive person experiences humiliation; as was the case when the Hilton heiress and model Paris Hilton was outed in the widely-disseminated and infamous sex video. It is essentially one form of schadenfreude.
Meg and Candy enjoyed the fall from grace of pop princess Britney Spears; another manifestation of the Paris Hilton syndrome.
