As you arrive at Shangri-La Hotel, Paris, its elegant façade brings to mind its legacy as the former home of Napoleon Bonaparte’s grandnephew, Prince Roland Bonaparte. Attentive staff and a pleasantly discreet check-in ensure that you receive the royal treatment right from the start.
Grand Staircase fit for royalty
In your room, commanding views of the Eiffel Tower and the River Seine
hold you transfixed. The old-world elegance of the room, lovingly adorned with
the fine work of craftsmen, is mirrored in the city that lies just below.
Here in the heart of Paris, the legendary Arc de Triomphe and Jardin des Tuileries, just around the
corner, wait for your attention, as do the exclusive fashion designers on Avenue
Montaigne and Avenue George V.
For now, you’re in the
mood for a light meal and La Bauhinia is the just place for it. The exquisite
glass cupola and Murano chandelier reflect the elegance of the meals prepared
here. With such a promising introduction, you look forward to savouring the Cantonese cuisine at the renowned Shang
Palace, the very first in Europe, and which earned 1 Michelin star in the Michelin Guide 2012.
Your hunger sated and your spirit invigorated, it’s time to immerse
yourself in the City of Lights. The Pink Lady, Le Bar’s signature cocktail, is
just the pick-me-up to start you off. Embark on a culinary voyage at L’Abeille, the hotel’s French gastronomic restaurant, 2 stars in the Michelin Guide 2012, to finish off your day.
After a night like
that, you’re reluctant to leave. The city has left you enamoured. And it all
began at the majestic Shangri-La Hotel, Paris.
