SHANGRI-LA, PARIS
With 100 rooms and suites, three restaurants, two of which are Michelin-starred, one Bar and four historical events and reception rooms, Shangri-La Hotel, Paris cultivates a warm and authentic ambiance, drawing the best from the two cultures: the Asian art of hospitality and the French art of living. Originally built in 1896 as the home of French imperial Prince Roland Bonaparte, the most historic areas of the former Palais Iéna were listed in 2009 with French institution Monuments Historiques. Today, the iconic building once again welcomes Parisians and world travelers within its walls, 114 years after the prince first opened the doors of his residential palace. South-facing and bathed in natural light, 40 percent of the rooms and 60 percent of the suites feature a private balcony. Authenticity and residential comfort are guiding forces behind Pierre-Yves Rochon’s design throughout the hotel.
Location
Shangri-La Hotel Paris is centrally located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, just minutes from the Place des Etats-Unis, the Place d’Iéna and the Place du Trocadero, on the Chaillot Hill. The Triangle d’Or, the Champs Elysées, and a myriad of luxury boutiques and museums are also just a stone’s throw away.
Fun Facts
A discovery took place upon renovating the dropped ceiling of a conference room, revealing a magnificent glass and steel structure embedded in the rooftop, which had been covered over by the building’s former corporate residents. It is now the rooftop of the hotel’s main restaurant La Bauhinia.
