Shangri-La Paris

Your Parisian Residence, where lifetime memories are crafted.

Parisian Luxury In The Shadow Of The Eiffel Tower. 

This graceful Parisian Grande Dame is set within a palace which once belonged to Napoleon's great nephew (Prince Roland Bonaparte), so there is a distinctly majestic air to the place. Sumptuous highlights include: Eiffel Tower views from beds and bathtubs, the largest hotel pool in the city, and France's only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant.

The Shangri-La's position close to the Eiffel Tower places it at the heart of Paris' action and affords its guests the most magnificent views. Head to the Trocadéro for more postcard-perfect Eiffel vistas, if those at the hotel aren't enough. The property is also within easy walking distance of some of the city's best museums, making it the perfect base for art lovers. Museums nearby include the Palais de Tokyo, the Modern Museum of Art (MAM), Musée Guimet, and the Musée du quai Branly. The Musée d’Orsay and Petit and Grand Palais are also a short walk or bus ride east along the river.

Roland Bonaparte's palace could be considered among some of the city's top architectural highlights. The graceful property was built in 1896 andwas inscribed as a French Historical Monument in 2009. Pass through the angular limestone façade to find interiors that brim with marble, gilded mirrors, and sweeping staircases you won’t be able to stop snapping. With all the gold and grandeur, public spaces appear as if they could belong to Château de Versailles. A renowned botanist, Roland Bonaparte's fascination with plants and flowers inspired all the cocktails at the bar, and other tell-tale signs of his passion are scattered throughout the hotel, such as the exuberantly patterned carpets, woven with floral motifs. In the bedrooms, the décor is somewhat tamer, leaving the views center stage.

The 100 rooms come in a muted palette of beige, cream, and brown, and some have powder blue walls and carpets. All are extremely comfortable with the views of grand Parisian buildings in the vicinity. If your budget allows it, request one of five rooms that come with a terrace from which to admire the Eiffel Tower as you've never seen it before. Bathrooms are spacious, and some have tubs as well as separate, walk-in showers. All are stocked with plenty of products and amenities, including miniature slippers and bathrobes for children.

The hotel features two restaurants: La Bauhinia, a culinary journey that blends French classics with creations inspired by Asian flavors, and Shang Palace, a journey of discovery into haute Chinese gastronomy enhanced by modern inspirations, crafted by the talented Chef Tony Xu. After your experience, head to the Bar Botaniste for savory cocktails in Western Paris’ best-kept secret.
