Shangri-La Paris

Presentation

A palace set in the former residence of Prince Roland Bonaparte, between Avenue d'Iéna and the Trocadéro

Behind a majestic façade lined with coats of arms and sculpted lions, the Shangri-La Paris unfolds like a page of history. The establishment occupies the former residence of Prince Roland Bonaparte, the grand-nephew of Napoleon, carefully transformed into an exceptional palace. Nestled between Avenue d'Iéna and the gardens of the Trocadéro, it brings together imperial heritage and Asian serenity. Inside, the décor speaks for itself: a vestibule paved with rare marble leads to an elegant rotunda crowned by a celestial dome, while mouldings enhanced with gold leaf and dressed-stone columns extend the grandeur of a bygone era, within carefully integrated contemporary comfort. Day to day, the team anticipates your needs with gentleness and precision, without excessive formality or any intrusion upon your privacy.

Empire-style rooms with views over the Seine or the neighbouring avenues

From the moment you enter your room, the unique character of the setting reveals itself. The generous proportions, the nobility of the materials and the delicate tones inspired by the Empire style lend the whole a refined harmony. Whether it opens onto the neighbouring avenues or onto the Seine, your room becomes a space of calm and light, designed for your rest as much as for your contemplation.

Suites with a private terrace and a view of the Eiffel Tower, up to the panoramic Shangri-La Suite

For those seeking the exceptional, certain suites reveal a private terrace from which to admire the Eiffel Tower in all its majesty. True Parisian apartments, they feature independent living rooms, dressing rooms, heated marble bathrooms and, in some cases, a butler's kitchen. Perched on the top floor, the Shangri-La Suite unveils a panoramic view of Paris that few addresses can rival.

The Chi spa and the fitness centre set up in the palace's former stables

To unwind, Chi, The Spa welcomes you to a haven of tranquillity nestled within the palace's former stables. The indoor pool, bathed in light and extended by a planted terrace, creates a peaceful atmosphere, while the treatments, delivered with organic products of French origin, draw on a holistic philosophy founded on the balance of body and mind. Open throughout the day, the fitness centre lets you maintain your sporting routine thanks to high-end equipment — treadmills, bicycles, weight machines — in a bright and soothing setting, with the possibility of personalised guidance to suit your wishes.

Restaurants, bar and reception rooms: La Bauhinia, the Michelin-starred Shang Palace and the Bar Botaniste

The culinary journey of the Shangri-La Paris is worth a lengthy stop in its own right. Beneath the glass roof of La Bauhinia, a cuisine of manifold inspirations is savoured in a décor of celadon taffeta, orchids and wrought iron, where plays of light and subtle fragrances suspend time. To explore the great traditions of Cantonese gastronomy, the Shang Palace receives you in a hushed atmosphere, amid carved woodwork and delicate light fixtures; led by a chef who is a master in the art of cooking techniques and spices, this address is the only one of its kind to be awarded a Michelin star in France. In the evening, the Bar Botaniste charms with its powdery tones, its references to botany and its original creations made with rare herbs, in tribute to Prince Bonaparte's taste for the natural sciences; the space extends into listed salons, perfect for enjoying a tea, a cocktail or a glass of wine by a crackling fireplace. Listed as Historic Monuments, the reception rooms offer, finally, a spectacular setting for private events and give access to the famous Terrasse Eiffel, from which the view of the monument is revealed in all its splendour.
