Book the Shangri La Paris with VIP Benefits

Shangri La Paris stands at 10 Avenue d'Iena in the 16th arrondissement, inside the former residence of Prince Roland Bonaparte. The hotel looks toward the Eiffel Tower and the River Seine, with some of the most recognizable views in Paris. It has Palace distinction, Monument Historique status, and the atmosphere of a private mansion adapted into a refined city hotel.

The address gives the hotel a rare position. It sits close to Trocadero, the Seine, the Guimet Museum, Palais de Tokyo, Avenue Montaigne, and the Champs-Elysees. Guests can walk to landmark views, museums, gardens, and luxury shopping, then return to a quieter setting on the western side of the city. The hotel feels grand, but its scale stays intimate compared with many palace hotels.

Rooms & Suites

Shangri La Paris has 100 rooms and suites. That number gives the hotel a more private rhythm than its grand architecture might suggest. Rooms and suites vary in layout because the building began as a historic residence, not a standard hotel block. Some rooms look toward the garden or city, while many of the most sought-after categories frame the Eiffel Tower and the Seine.

The interiors mix French classical detail with Asian touches. Expect high ceilings, soft tones, silk accents, marble bathrooms, fine woodwork, and a sense of calm formality. Some rooms have balconies or terraces, which make the Paris view feel even closer. The best suites add larger living areas, stronger landmark views, and a more residential mood.

The former private residence gives the room experience its character. Guests are not simply staying in a new tower with a famous view. They are inside a building shaped by 19th-century Paris, science, art, and imperial history. This gives the rooms a sense of depth that suits the city and the address.

Avenue d'Iena Location

The hotel sits in one of Paris's most elegant districts. Trocadero is close, which makes Eiffel Tower views easy to reach on foot. The River Seine is nearby, giving guests a natural route toward the Right Bank, the Left Bank, museums, and bridges. The Guimet Museum and Palais de Tokyo add cultural depth close to the hotel.

The location is also useful for shopping and dining. Avenue Montaigne, the Champs-Elysees, and the Golden Triangle are within easy reach by car or a longer walk. Guests can spend the day around art, fashion, architecture, and river views, then return to a hotel that feels quiet and composed. In Paris, that contrast is valuable.

Restaurants & Bar

Shangri La Paris has two restaurants and one bar. La Bauhinia sits beneath a glass cupola and brings a bright, elegant setting for breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner. It is the most flexible dining room in the hotel, with a mood that works for both relaxed meals and special moments. The room itself is part of the experience, with light, height, and a sense of ceremony.

Shang Palace is the hotel's Chinese restaurant and one of the most distinctive dining spaces in Paris. It brings Cantonese cooking to a palace setting, with refined service and a clear connection to the Shangri La heritage. The restaurant gives the hotel a dining identity that is different from many Parisian palace hotels.

Le Bar Botaniste links back to Prince Roland Bonaparte's interest in botany. The bar has a more intimate mood, with cocktails, rare spirits, and a design that feels tied to the history of the house. It works well before dinner, after a concert or museum visit, or as a quiet evening pause without leaving the hotel.

Spa, Pool & Wellness

The wellness area is an important part of Shangri La Paris. Chi, The Spa brings treatment rooms, calm interiors, and a more private side to the stay. The indoor pool is especially memorable because it sits in the former stables, filled with natural light and a quieter rhythm than the city outside. It gives the hotel a rare wellness setting for central Paris.

The pool, spa, and fitness spaces are useful after long walks, museum days, shopping, or business meetings. Paris can be physically demanding, even when the pace feels elegant. Having a calm wellness area inside the hotel allows guests to reset without crossing the city again.

History & Architecture

The building was created for Prince Roland Bonaparte, a scholar, geographer, and botanist. Its grand staircase, reception rooms, stonework, and historic details reflect the ambition of a private Parisian residence from the late 19th century. Today, those historic spaces help define the hotel. They give events, dinners, and arrivals a sense of occasion.

Monument Historique status means the building is part of France's protected architectural heritage. For guests, this keeps the hotel from feeling generic. The spaces carry traces of the original house, from carved details to grand salons. Modern comfort is present, but it sits inside a structure with its own story.

Events, Families & City Stays

Shangri La Paris works well for celebrations, private dinners, family stays, and Paris city breaks. The historic salons give weddings, receptions, and meetings a strong setting. Families get useful room size, a calm location, and easy access to landmark walks. Couples often choose the hotel for views, dining, and the sense of staying in a Parisian residence.

The hotel also suits guests who want a quieter side of Paris. The 16th arrondissement is elegant and residential in tone, yet close to major sights. This helps the hotel avoid the constant rush found in more crowded districts. Guests can still reach the Louvre, Saint-Germain, Opera, or the Marais by car or metro, but return to a more composed base.

Paris Base

Shangri La Paris is best for travelers who want historic architecture, Eiffel Tower views, a refined 16th arrondissement address, 100 rooms and suites, two restaurants, one bar, spa facilities, and an indoor pool. It suits landmark-focused trips, romantic stays, cultural weekends, family visits, and private celebrations.

The hotel is best understood as a restored Paris residence with palace-level service and one of the city's clearest landmark outlooks. It combines Prince Roland Bonaparte's former home, Monument Historique status, views of the Eiffel Tower and Seine, French elegance, Chinese dining, and a calm wellness setting. For guests who want Paris with history, views, and intimacy, Shangri La Paris remains a defining choice.
