If you're in the US Reed Art & Imaging [0] is one of the best photo printing companies in the United States. They're (I think) the only commercial studio licensed to use the true Diasec process in the US. Diasec is what most museums prefer for their photo prints, just as a reference of quality.
I've also used White Wall [1] in Germany with similar results. They use basically the same process, but an unlicensed version. Bumblejax [2] in Seattle is also great.
The other thing you can look for is local camera stores that still develop film. Chances are they'll have a high quality printer and paper. Giclée printing (basically very high quality inkjet) is what's most popular right now and supposedly is the most durable, but I personally prefer chromogenic (C-type) prints which is where they use lasers to expose photo-sensitive paper. There aren't many places doing C-type prints anymore, so that's generally a mark of quality.
