Paris opening for super deluxe hotel

Linda The Shangri-La Hotels Paris will open in the French capital’s 16th district on 17 December 2010.  The hotel is the award winning brand’s first property in Europe.

Built in 1896 as the private home of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte’s grandnephew, Prince Roland Bonaparte, the Shangri-La Paris is likely to bring a tasteful balance between the group’s signature style of hospitality and French lifestyle.

The restored landmark retains its residential heritage offering 81 rooms including 27 suites, making it the most intimate of all Shangri-La Hotels worldwide.  The accommodation includes three Signature Suites highlighted by La Suite Imperiale which originally housed the Prince’s private apartment, and the penthouse La Suite Panoramique with 100 square metres of outdoor deck facing the Eiffel tower.  The French gourmet restaurant L’Abeille and the city’s first authentic gourmet Cantonese restaurant, Shang Palace, will open in early 2011.

The 16th arrondissement on the right bank of the River Seine is one of the city’s premier residential districts yet within a short walking distance from the capital’s main attractions, shopping areas and parks. www.shangri-la.com
