Shangri-La Paris
$1,400-3,500+ / нощ
Запазете го, ако You want the absolute best Eiffel Tower view in Paris and don't care what it costs.
Защо хората я обичат
- 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
Бързо резюме: It's a legitimate palace with a price tag to match, but the dining scene has lost a bit of its sparkle recently.
Преглеждано от @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

- The 'Bamboo' panda mascot amenities for kids are a huge hit if you're traveling with little ones.
Какво да пакувате
- Swimsuit (the pool is a highlight, not an afterthought)
- Dressier clothes for dinner (the vibe is old-money formal)
- A high-quality camera/lens for the balcony photos

The 'Bar Botaniste' serves rare botanical spirits; ask the bartender for a custom creation based on your mood.
- ✨
You can access the garden directly from some ground-floor rooms, but you lose the view.

Walk to the nearby Musée Guimet for an incredible Asian art collection (fitting, given the hotel's brand).
5 неща, които трябва да знаете преди да отидете
💡The 'Napoleonic Bee' symbols are everywhere in the decor because the original owner was Napoleon's grand-nephew.
💡The pool area used to be the stables, which explains the high ceilings and stone arches.

💡The 'Shang Palace' restaurant is the only Chinese restaurant in France that *held* a Michelin star for years (until 2025).
