The Suite
This isn't just a hotel suite; L'Appartement Prince Bonaparte holds official 'Monument Historique' status. It occupies the second floor, which was once the private residence of Prince Roland Bonaparte. The architecture is a striking example of the Directoire style, defined by its scale. Look up: the ceilings are five meters high, featuring original crown moldings and gilt detailing. Underfoot, you'll find classic Versailles-style parquet floors, complemented by period artwork throughout the residence.
The spacious living room and separate dining area are designed for entertaining, easily seating up to eight guests. Guests can step onto the balconies for a direct view down Avenue d'Iéna and across to the Guimet Museum. The single bedroom reflects the former resident's royal pedigree. The design favors shades of blue and gold, highlighted by a central crystal chandelier. Details include a draped fabric headboard and velvet curtains framing the floor-to-ceiling windows, which are tied back with handmade tassels.
The Hotel
Originally the home of Prince Roland Bonaparte, the Shangri-La Hotel, Paris, is a palatial retreat blending regal history with Asian hospitality. Its prime location in the 16th arrondissement, overlooking the Seine, means that guests can enjoy some of the city’s best views of the River Seine and Eiffel Tower from the comfort of their gorgeously designed rooms. Interiors showcase ornate moldings, silk wall coverings and marble-clad bathrooms, reflecting the grandeur of its 19th-century heritage. Dining includes the Michelin-starred Shang Palace, serving authentic Cantonese cuisine, and La Bauhinia, where French-Asian fusion dishes are presented in a stunning glass-domed setting.
