Steeped in history and grandeur, the Shangri-La Paris occupies a unique position in the city's luxury landscape. This isn't just a modern build; it's the meticulously restored former home of Prince Roland Bonaparte, holding the prestigious French "Palace" distinction and being classified as a Historical Monument. Located in the elegant 16th arrondissement, the hotel offers a commanding presence with some of the most direct and breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower and the River Seine from its rooms and suites, seamlessly marrying European architectural splendor with the warm, attentive service synonymous with its Asian heritage.
The hotel's 100 rooms and suites are a study in refined elegance, designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon in a distinct French-meets-Asian style. A calming Rococo color scheme and an abundance of natural light define the spaces, many of which feature connecting options for families or groups. The accommodations range from serene courtyard-view rooms to spectacular suites that make the iconic Parisian landmark the centerpiece of your stay.
For the ultimate Parisian experience, the Eiffel View rooms and suites are unparalleled. Waking up to the sight of the Iron Lady from your bed or private terrace is an experience in itself. The crown jewels are the signature suites, including the historic L’Appartement Prince Bonaparte, which was the prince's actual private residence and retains its Monument Historique status with 5-meter-high ceilings and period details.
Culinary Excellence: From Michelin Stars to Chic Bars
Shangri-La Paris is a formidable destination for gastronomy, housing two exceptional restaurants and stylish bars. Shang Palace is a landmark in itself, holding the distinction of being the first and only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in France from 2011 to 2024. Executive Chef Tony Xu leads guests on a journey of haute Chinese gastronomy, reimagining traditional dishes with modern flair and premium ingredients.
Beneath a stunning 19th-century glass cupola, La Bauhinia offers all-day dining with French and international cuisine. It's the setting for the hotel's gourmet breakfast, weekend tea time, and an iconic Sunday brunch.
For a pre-dinner cocktail or a nightcap, Le Bar Botaniste is a hidden gem. This intimate, discreet bar draws inspiration from Prince Roland Bonaparte's passion for botany and was named one of Forbes Travel Guide's 58 Best Hotel Star Bars.
