History

In 1896, No. 10 Avenue d’Iéna’s “Palais d’Iéna” was the home of Prince Roland Bonaparte and the meeting place of Paris’ aristocracy and bourgeoisie. 115 years later, restored by prominent architect Richard Martinet, this chic address once again welcomes the great people of the world as Shangri-La Hotel, Paris — the first Shangri-La Hotel to open in Europe. Listed as a Historical Monument since 2009, this exquisite hotel is a unique blend of Asian hospitality and French art de vivre.
