Hotel Shangri-La Paris (Paris, France)

The 5-star Shangri-La is located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, in walking distance of the Metro station Iéna and only a few metres from the Trocadero and the Aquarium of Paris. The Eiffel Tower is just a short walk over the bridge from the hotel, and you can stroll down the Champs-Elysees or explore the glamorous luxury boutiques on Avenue George V on foot from here. The hotel's nineteenth century building hides in a lush garden and once was the home of a nephew of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The Shangri-La's interior boasts 54 rooms and 27 suites decorated by interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. Some are decorated in a minimalist style, others in the style of the Empire, mixing European Empire elegance and Asian aesthetics. BVLGARI White Tea toiletries, bathrooms with a view, silk-threaded wallpaper, the very latest technology and enough space to invite friends around are as much standard at the Shangri-La as free wireless Internet and custom-made furnishings. You can have your meals under the large glass cupola of La Bauhinia; the gourmet restaurant l'Abeille serves traditional French cuisine, and Michelin stared Chinese food can be enjoyed at the Shangri-La Hotel's Shang Palace.
