With 81 rooms and suites, three restaurants, one Bar and four events and reception rooms, Shangri-La Hotel, Paris cultivates a warm and authentic ambience, drawing the best from two cultures: the Asian art of hospitality and the French art of living. Today, the palace at 10 avenue d’Iéna has once again become an address for Paris’ chic and cultured set, just as it was more than a century ago. Nestled in the refined, residential 16th arrondissement between the Place des Etats-Unis, Place d’Iéna and the iconic Trocadero high on Chaillot Hill, the hotel is located across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. The area has one of the highest concentrations of museums in Europe. Just steps away, the renowned Guimet Museum offers Paris’ most extensive permanent collection of Asian art and oriental exhibits. Art lovers will enjoy the treasures of the Palais Galliera, Palais de Tokyo, Museum of Man, Museum of Modern Art and the Marmottan Monet Museum, all within walking distance. Passing through the original iron gates, guests arrive in a small, protected courtyard under the restored glass porte cochère. Two Ming Dynasty inspired vases flank the entryway and set the tone from the outset for Asia-meets-Paris elegance. Shangri-La Hotel, Paris offers 81 rooms including 27 suites. As with the rest of the hotel, Richard Martinet directed the architectural renovations and Pierre-Yves Rochon designed the interior style – at times “Empire,” at times “Luxury minimalist,” at times a stunning mix of both. South-facing and bathed in natural light, 40 per cent of the rooms and 60 per cent of the suites feature a breathtaking, direct view of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine. The majority of rooms and suites are large enough and equipped to entertain friends, family or business partners. Nearly half of the rooms and suites feature a private balcony. |
