Only a short walk from Champs Elysees near the Arc de Triomphe stands a monumental Beaux-Arts style building, home to The Peninsula Paris. Seeped in history, the hotel, known as Hotel Majestic when its doors opened in 1908, has housed artists like Picasso, Stravinsky, Proust, served as the UNESCO headquarters, and even as the site where the League of Nations was conceived.
The Peninsula Paris officially opened in 2014, after the facade was restored with an extensive effort led by artisans and stonemasons. Since then, the hotel has transformed the storied building into an all encompassing abode for the chic Parisian and travelers alike. With over 200 guestrooms, 6 dining options including what was one of the first rooftop gardens in the city, and a luxurious spa, the hotel group maintains all of its opulence in its Parisian location.
To stay at The Peninsula Paris is to submerge oneself in la Belle Époque: crystal chandeliers, opulent suites with private gardens and a cozy lounge fit with a grand piano. If called upon, your chauffeur might arrive in a 1934 Rolls Royce Phantom II, one of many owned by the luxury hotel chain. For a bite with a view of the Eiffel Tower, guests can visit La Terasse Kléber, an alfresco café along Avenue Kléber and enjoy international dishes underneath one of the largest covered terraces in the City of Light. For live music and afternoon tea, Le Lobby’s lavish dining room and soaring ceilings transport guests to the 20th century. For a detox, the spa offers a range of personalized treatments, steam rooms and saunas. The Peninsula Paris is more than a luxury hotel. It offers unbeatable service and an equally glamorous and historic experience.
