The Shangri-La Hotel, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, has been awarded the prestigious title of "Distinction Palace" after 4 years of operation . The members of the Atout France jury were won over by the soul, history and cachet of this beautiful Parisian townhouse, built in 1896 by Prince Roland Bonaparte, the Emperor's grand-nephew.
Aristocracy and the upper middle class, men of letters and scientists of the time, all gathered in this majestic setting around the Bonaparte family. Completely renovated and sublimated by Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts from 2006 to 2010, the Prince's residence, now listed as a Monument Historique, once again welcomes the world's greats.
This Parisian palace offers an incomparable combination of Asian hospitality and French art de vivre. It has become a must-see in Paris. It has many assets, and not the least. Most of its 101 rooms and suites offer breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower and Paris's greatest monuments.
Its three restaurants are among the capital's top gourmet addresses, along with L'Abeille, a French gourmet restaurant run by double Michelin-starred Chef Philippe Labbé, Shang Palace, France's only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant, and La Bauhinia, which offers French and Asian cuisine.
Its spa is a veritable haven of peace in the heart of Paris, with treatment rooms, a 16-meter pool bathed in natural light and a state-of-the-art fitness area. Not to mention its historic salons, all with natural daylight and a total surface area of 550m², reminiscent of the finest receptions held by the Parisian elite at the end of the 19th century.
It's therefore almost natural that the Shangri-La Hotel should join the closed circle of Parisian palaces!
