Imagine waking up to the sparkling Eiffel Tower and the picturesque Seine right outside your window. That’s the magic you’ll experience at Shangri-La Paris. The hotel’s location is unbeatable, especially during the upcoming Olympic Games, with several venues just a short walk away.

Indulge in Parisian Luxury
The Shangri-La Paris offers 100 exquisitely appointed rooms and suites, ranging from cozy superior rooms to the magnificent La Suite Shangri-La with its sprawling terrace overlooking the Eiffel Tower. I personally stayed in an Eiffel View Room, where I spent hours taking photos of the breathtaking vista and enjoying my breakfast with the Eiffel Tower as my backdrop. The room itself was a haven of comfort, featuring a plush king-size bed, a luxurious marble bathroom with a deep soaking tub, and Guerlain toiletries. For a truly royal experience, explore the historic L’Appartement Prince Bonaparte, a suite fit for a king or queen, with its gilded crown moldings and grand living area.
A Culinary Journey
Shangri-La Paris takes your taste buds on a journey with its world-class dining options. Shang Palace, the hotel’s Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant, is a must-try for its authentic Cantonese cuisine. La Bauhinia, the all-day dining restaurant, will tempt you with its delectable dishes, including the famous profiteroles that will leave you dreaming of their rich, buttery flavor. For a unique cocktail experience, visit La Bar Botaniste, inspired by Roland Bonaparte’s love for botany and travel. Enjoy their carefully crafted cocktails, like the Beskan, a refreshing blend of rose pisco, pistachio orgeat, and sumac syrup. And of course, don’t miss the exceptional room service breakfast, featuring perfectly cooked eggs, fresh croissants, and a fruit salad that will delight your senses.
Relax and Rejuvenate
Shangri-La Paris offers the ultimate in relaxation and rejuvenation. Escape to the serene spa and fitness center, where you’ll discover a beautiful swimming pool nestled in the former stables of the royal residence. The pool faces a wall of windows overlooking lush greenery, creating a tranquil oasis away from the bustling city streets. The Health Club has all the equipment you need to stay active during your vacation, if you choose.
Experience a Fusion of Cultures
Chi, The Spa, embodies the hotel’s French-Asian fusion philosophy. Named after “qi,” a traditional Chinese concept of “vital energy,” the spa offers a wide range of treatments, from intensive Hydrafacials and microneedling to massages inspired by traditional Chinese medicine. After a long flight, a spa treatment is the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate. I recommend the 45-minute Lift and Glow facial, which helped me combat jetlag and reduce puffiness. And for a stylish souvenir, pick up a tube of Le Rouge Français x Shangri-La Paris chic red lipstick, a universally flattering shade that I wore throughout my trip.
