Guests universally worship the views and the 'Palace' status service, often calling it a once-in-a-lifetime splurge.
Shangri-La Paris
$1,400-3,500+ / öö
Broneeri, kui You want the absolute best Eiffel Tower view in Paris and don't care what it costs.
Miks inimesed seda armastävad
- Unrivaled, in-your-face views of the Eiffel Tower from 50% of the rooms
- Housed in the former palace of Prince Roland Bonaparte (Napoleon’s grand-nephew)
- The pool is located in the prince's former stables and is bathed in natural light
Kiire kokkuvõte: It's a legitimate palace with a price tag to match, but the dining scene has lost a bit of its sparkle recently.
Vaadanud @gregkiep: I stayed in this room for a weekend getaway and I'm still dreaming about that balcony. Sipping champagne with the Eiffel Tower so close I could touch it was magical. If you want a romantic splurge, this is absolutely the place to book.

Reality check
Some recent guests felt the 'nickel and diming' (e.g., €13 for a machine coffee) was insulting given the room rate.
- You are planning a proposal or honeymoon and need a 'money shot' view
- You appreciate Empire-style decor and Napoleonic history
- You want a pool that actually feels like a sanctuary, not a basement
