Food54 mentions · 4 filmed
- “Soon an enormous platter of fresh baguette and pastries was brought, and while I only sampled the Pain au Chocolat, it was fantastic: warm dark chocolate in a more generous amount than is typical, with layers of flaky pastry.” 26
- “No other spot even comes close: so many amazing restaurants, such an incredible spa, so many personalized touches, and a perfect location all in one.” 14
- “Several dining and drinking options include a rooftop restaurant with beautiful panoramic views over the city, a sumptuous lobby bar with outdoor terrace, and a lavish Cantonese restaurant.” 30
- “From our stunning burrata appetizer to their famous "cloud" dessert, nothing disappointed and everything excited. This is now my #1 spot for a romantic meal in Paris.” 14
- “Morning unfolds with breakfast served beneath crystal chandeliers, a symphony of flaky via noiseries, seasonal delicacies, and champagne selections.” On camera191:24
- “forever believe they did it just for me. This meant they moved breakfast to L'Oiseau Blanc, which provided excellent views of the Eiffel Tower all whilst stuffing my face with the nicest French toast ever created (sorry, Amanzoe, your crown is null and void).” 1
- “For Chinese guests there's Restaurant Lili on the site of the original restaurant in the Hotel Majestic, with an excellent Cantonese menu.” 5
- “The swimming pool offers calm and space, rather than any monumental flourishes, and the rooftop restaurant, L'Oiseau Blanc, is chic and discreet, though the three-quarter-size replica of its namesake biplane, suspended next to the glassed-in dining room, is excitingly not.” 29
- “On the sixth floor is the stunning L'Oiseau Blanc, a beautiful rooftop restaurant and bar that offers modern gastronomy.” 21
- “ur friends experience their turn down was exceptional they put everything in a wrapped little bow and she left her glasses on the side nightstand before going to dinner and they actually put a little peninsula cloth for her glasses underneath her glasses which is just a super elegant touch” 12
- “And the breakfast offerings I sampled were high quality, with my only criticism that I had to remind them about my yogurt, which took a long time to arrive.” 26
- “While I would have preferred the first option, I was impressed of how beautiful it was to sit on the terrace overlooking Avenue Kleber, enjoying the first sun rays of the day and being served a truly outstanding American breakfast.” 9
- “The Peninsula Paris has several pricey dining and drinking venues, including LiLi restaurant serving Cantonese cuisine, the rooftop L'Oiseau Blanc restaurant, bar, and terrace with beautiful panoramic views over the city that serves traditional French meals, as well as the opulent Lobbyrestaurant and Kleber Bar.” 30
- “The food in L'Oiseau Blanc is produce-led, accomplished and even fun (a chocolate-and-raspberry dish shaped like a plane's nose with propellers - wheee!); drinks on its terrace give diners a taste of the views enjoyed by guests who take the suites with rooftop gardens.” 29
- “L'Oiseau Blanc is the resort's signature rooftop dining destination - the contemporary French fine dining restaurant on the property's substantial rooftop with the unobstructed Eiffel Tower view, among the most distinctive single rooftop dining venues in Paris.” 25
- “The Lobby restaurant serves French and international cuisine and is as an idyllic spot for traditional afternoon tea (live music is performed during the daily ritual).” 21
- “Now it's the hotel's main restaurant hosting breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon tea AND a very special brunch buffet on weekends. While this is easily one of the priciest brunch buffets I've ever seen, it's also one of the most worthwhile.” 14
- “Whilst staying at La Reserve in October, I had a very enjoyable dinner at Lili, so went for lunch this time. It's basically a version of Hakassan, if Hakassan offered anything even resembling service. The food was once again excellent and I would be surprised if it were not to win a Michelin star.” 1
- “Le Lobby is also where the hotel serves their renowned afternoon tea, which we had the pleasure of experiencing and highly recommend. It is a memorable and delicious experience of expertly prepared sweet and savoury bites paired with your coffee or tea, whilst admiring the high ceilings with their extravagant mouldings and paintings of the Belle Epoque era.” 3
- “highlight was a rose praline encrusted brioche, that would have been at home as a dessert in upscale restaurants.” 26
- “ry mood and moment. Our mornings began at LiLi, where a beautifully arranged stand of freshly baked breads and pastries awaited at our table amid the lavish Asian-inspired decor.” 31
- “-Basic service failures including forgotten breakfast orders, broken Nespresso machines requiring multiple complaints, room service theft allegations, and €50 charges for bringing outside food to rooms” 27
- “It was a privilege to enjoy daily breakfast here during our stay. Each morning, as you come down Le Lobby, you're shown to your seats, which have already been set up with croissants and pain au chocolat on a silver platter, before choosing between a Continental, English or Chinese breakfast.” 3
- “Standouts include LiLi, serving Cantonese cuisine (including a range of dim sum); the sixth-floor L'Oiseau Blanc, an indoor/outdoor French restaurant themed around the early days of aviation with two Michelin stars; and Le Bar Kleber, where original 1908 oak paneling, oversized mirrors, and terrace views set a sexy scene for cocktails.” 15
- “Six restaurants and bars, including a rooftop venue with great views” 30
- “our fifth category is dining dining rate four and a half stars so our friends have had the opportunity to have breakfast and drinks at the hotel and it's been overall amazing” On camera125:37
- “The dedicated LiLi is the Cantonese fine dining destination - the substantial regional Cantonese culinary identity that the Peninsula brand's Hong Kong heritage specifically supports (essentially unique in the Paris luxury hotel market), among the most carefully calibrated Cantonese fine dining venues in Paris.” 25
- “The coffee was great as the juice and the highlight was the signature apple cake that was so soft and tasty.” 9
- “Loiseau Blanc was great too! Though they made a fuss when we didn't finish the pigeon. Multiple people kept asking us what was wrong. We couldn't finish the testing menu.” 23
- “This two-Michelin-star restaurant offers both a tasting menu and à la carte options showcasing wonderfully inventive flavors that honor French tradition while pushing the culinary envelope.” 31
- “Early reviews of The Peninsula Paris' food were also underwhelming, yet since the new F&B Director joined, it is now one of its highlights.” 1
- “The freshness, quality and portion sizes were all precise and dare I say perfect. If there was one meal I would have to consume for the rest of my days on Earth this may well be it.” 2
- “While I knew that the Peninsula has the most amazing rooftop restaurant in entire Paris, I needed the typical Parisian vibes I always get when in Saint Germain de Pres, it's not the chicest area for nothing.” 9
- “L'Oiseau Blanc is the signature rooftop dining destination - the contemporary French fine dining restaurant on the property's rooftop with an unobstructed Eiffel Tower view, among the most distinctive single rooftop dining venues in Paris.” 25
- “When you're famished, previous visitors recommend returning to the hotel for Cantonese-style bites at LiLi or traditional Parisian meals with an Eiffel Tower view at L'Oiseau Blanc.” 10
- “Then for dinner in Le Lobby, one of the waitresses was rude when we wanted to order room service menu, which we decided on as there was no way you could realistically order it to the room.” 1
- “Today, the rooftop restaurant L'Oiseau Blanc not only has incredible views of the Eiffel Tower, fabulous cuisine and a great wine list but it is a dedicated to French aviation.” 7
- “+Sunday brunch receives exceptional praise with lobster rolls, foie gras ravioli, wide dumpling selection, BBQ section, and 'amazing cheese trolley'” 27
- “While the rooms and the food are unparalleled, the spa is one of the standouts of the hotel.” 20
- “The restaurant itself offers stellar views of the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre and other notable Parisian landmarks.” 21
- “Serving up truly authentic gourmet Cantonese cuisine, including dimsums, barbeque pork, fried rice, black pepper beef, and sweet and sour shrimp, it was like visiting Hong Kong and eating at a fine Cantonese restaurant. As a local Hong Kong person, I couldn't fault the dishes here - they are exceptional and anyone who is a guest at The Peninsula should really experience their lunch or dinner menu.” 3
- “The hard product was impeccable, the food was good, the service was hit or miss.” 23
- “in the restaurant luo blon with a star in the Michelin guide and located on the sixth and last floor of the hotel the executive chef David Biz and his team offer for lunch or dinner an unparalleled gastronomic Journey over the rooftops of Paris one-on-one with the Majestic Iron Lady” On camera111:06
- “The Culinary score of ly produced by Chef Dicky 2 is like the decor a tasty mix of Chinese and French inspiration” On camera111:26
- “Headed by Michelin-starred Chef Tang Chi Keung, Lili serves some truly memorable dishes (the eggplant is a must order!). The flavors in each dish were masterful and the cocktails equally as delicious.” 14
- “The variety of the cuisine and dining experiences, combined with exceptional service will please all ages and interests.” 18
- “Amazing! We enjoyed an amazing dinner at LiLi where they serve authentic Cantonese cuisine in a spectacular setting inspired by the Chinese opera. This was one of our favorite dining experiences in Paris.” 18
- “The most exciting part? It also has a rooftop restaurant that gives you a 360 view of the city from above. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience.” 22
- “Luxed-up Cantonese and Szechuan food is served in LiLi, at charming booths and round tables in a gorgeously theatrical setting, with oversized blue silk tassels, a giant opera headdress installation and green marble columns.” 29
- “There are four restaurants, the most spectacular of which is the rooftop L'Oiseau Blanc, named after the plane used for a plucky attempt at an Atlantic crossing in 1927, with a replica of it dangling outside.” 5
- “Le Lobby supports heritage-lobby all-day dining including the celebrated Peninsula afternoon tea (among the most refined hotel afternoon-tea programmes in Paris).” 25
- “Forever being a sucker for a chocolate dessert the Emotion chocolat seemed an obvious choice. It was also a choice I did not regret.” 2
- “At any such French luxury hotel, you'd expect that the food and beverage would be stupendous. And the Peninsula Paris goes the distance to exceed that expectation.” 4
- “Dinner in Le Lobby was wonderful as well.” 1
Bathroom12 mentions
- “A huge highlight for me was the elegant bathroom, with its dual his and hers sinks and gorgeous marble soaking tub:” 26
- “In addition to the main bedroom there is a generous walk-in closet and a stunning marble-cladded bathroom replete with a bathtub, shower, Japanese toilets, TV and digital radio system.” 3
- “One of my favorite parts of the suite was the bathroom, with its stylish white and black marble and symmetry.” 13
- “The bathrooms offered a deep soaking tub lined in more marble and a rain shower, both of which did wonders for my tired feet and stretched mind at the end of long show days.” 20
- “Bath products were by Oscar de la Renta, which seemed a little surprising for me; I would have expected either something French, such as L'Occitane, or perhaps Aesop, a popular Australian brand in Asia.” 26
- “It's not often that a bathroom makes my list of highlights, but this one was a curving, marble-clad showstopper. I spent a full hour luxuriating in the soaking tub, which is so deep it feels like you could swim in it.” 31
- “A big marble bathtub, double sinks, electronic Toto-toilet as well as a massive walk-in shower - I was not missing one thing. They also provided plenty of guests products and I really loved my first time with Oscar de la Renta toiletries.” 9
- “Bath products are by Oscar de la Renta, as at other Peninsula hotels. I do wish the hotel would choose a less dated and fusty brand, ideally something more natural such as Aesops or Bamford.” 13
- “The bathroom is also faultless and a work of art, but I would not choose a hotel based on how nice my surroundings are when nature calls.” 1
- “I opened the heavy doors and was welcomed by a stunning bathroom, and I would also say it is one of the most impressive I have seen.” 9
- “The double sinks are across from each other rather than side by side. There was a large rain shower; the shower head, temperature and pressure were great, although the water did leak out slightly when opening the shower door, a potential hazard given how slippery marble is when wet.” 13
- “And the loo is Japanese, which means the seat is heated, which is decadent, and there are buttons for a kind of bidet function, with water squirted at your bits from a choice of two angles with, oh joy, an oscillating function.” 5
Room36 mentions · 5 filmed
- “I don't know what was the most impressive part of the room and I would not mind saying the walk-in wardrobe which was definitely bigger than some Parisian hotel rooms I bet.” 9
- “The lush hotel features 200 rooms, (some of the largest in the city), and 34 well-appointed suites, some with access to a private rooftop terrace.” 21
- “I was traveling solo, so the Junior Suite was so spacious and beautifully appointed it made me wish my husband and son were there to enjoy it with me.” 26
- “Our suite was phenomenal and included a spacious master bedroom, completely separate living room with desk, large walk in closet, and a fantastic bathroom.” 18
- “During my early December visit, the chic white and black decor was complemented by red floral arrangements, Christmas trees and shimmering glass ornaments that resembled snow flakes in the lobby.” 26
- “L'Oiseau Blanc on the top floor is not to be missed, with its highly rated French cuisine and stunning views of the Eiffel tower and beyond. The restaurant's summer terrace with an outdoor bar is one of the most incredible in Paris, and guests have priority access to this amazing space.” 18
- “our third category is rooms rooms were at 5 stars it is absolutely stunning today we're in a junior suite at the peninsula but even the deluxe rooms are beautiful” On camera122:18
- “The Peninsula Paris has my favorite luxury hotel rooms in Paris right now: spacious, chic, and incredibly comfortable, with all the modern conveniences one would want, such as electronically controlled temperature, lights and shades, in-room movie selections, Japanese washlet, Nespresso machine and tea kettle, and serene swimming pool in the Spa.” 26
- “But the real pièce de resistance in the room was the closet-a walk-in the size of a small New York City studio apartment featuring a full vanity. My clothes and I couldn't have been happier.” 20
- “And it has a famous neighbour in the rich, 16th arrondissement - the Arc du Triomphe. We struggled to leave our elegant suite... even when some of Paris' most must-see sites were right on the doorstep.” 4
- “After I arrived, I was given a brief overview of the hotel and led to my room-a spacious suite decorated with a seating area and Juliette balconies that looked over Avenue Kléber.” 20
- “From the massive walk-in closet (a must when you have two women sharing a room!), to the soft beds you'll melt into, to the incredible range of amenities and little luxuries you'll find everywhere, these rooms will downright pamper you. Touchscreen controls and ALL.” 14
- “Sweet Suite: The Rooftop Garden Suite. Not the biggest but the one with the most romantic terrace imaginable! Breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower and perfect Paris rooftops this is one space you will never want to leave.” 7
- “Our suite was phenomenal and included a spacious master bedroom, completely separate living room with desk, large walk in closet, and a fantastic bathroom. The modern traditional decor is rich and warm.” 18
- “Even the TV doesn't come out fully from the wall, so you're struggling to watch TV from bed properly.” 1
- “The Suite was also a great layout for a family with ample bedroom space and a separate living area where a sofa bed can be set up each evening.” 3
- “Diners can choose to eat inside the restaurant or outside on the large picturesque terrace.” 21
- “The Culinary score of ly produced by Chef Dicky 2 is like the decor a tasty mix of Chinese and French inspiration” On camera111:26
- “The view of the Eiffel Tower from L'Oiseau Blanc is simply spectacular, and the adjacent rooftop terrace, open seasonally, ranks among the best vantage points in all of Paris to watch the tower come alive with its sparkling lights every hour on the hour after sunset.” 31
- “It's the little things that help elevate the rooms from luxurious to uber-luxurious: the Nespresso machines, minibars stocked with free soft drinks, phones with free long-distance calling, and vases of roses.” 30
- “this is just slightly larger it's got a beautiful balcony that looks over an absolutely stunning avenue” On camera122:27
- “The modern traditional decor is rich and warm. We also toured the Rooftop Garden Suite, and it might be the best value in Paris when it comes to the quality of the suite and the views that it provides. Amazing!” 18
- “I loved how the hotel was decked out for Christmas, with festive decor and even a Christmas market by the entrance.” 26
- “A sedate, residential décor is complimented by lots of techie touches, from interactive bedside control panels and in-room tablets pre-loaded with info, to printer/fax/scanner/copier hybrids for any work needs.” 15
- “The setting was nothing short of palatial, you could be forgiven for thinking you had taken a Parisian wrong turn and ended up in the long room at Versailles.” 2
- “Rooms, which are some of the largest in Paris, feature elegant decor in neutral tones and a bounty of high-tech details, including tablet-operated lights, temperature, and valet calls (though the controls may strike some as too complicated).” 30
- “The Deluxe Rooms - at approximately 40 sq m, with the heritage-and-contemporary palette and the dedicated street-or-courtyard orientation - are the property's standard accommodation, and they meaningfully exceed the typical Paris palace-hotel entry-level room standard.” 25
- “the thing i do also love in this room is the lighting they've got beautiful led lighting that's highlighting the ceilings they have really nice accents there are little amps that are all throughout the room” On camera123:07
- “The 200-room property is run with equal doses of familial hospitality and exacting precision.” 17
- “Another nice aspect was having a small balcony off of the living room, from which we could view Avenue Kleber and, on our right, the Arc de Triomphe:” 13
- “The room is simply not inspiring. It is not somewhere you would want to spend a long period of time in; some is down to the feeling from the decor, but mostly it's the lack of light coming in. It's far too dark to give the warmth of La Reserve Paris or The Connaught.” 1
- “Every room is void of light switches, but instead has a touch screen panel that has all the available controls. On the first night at 2am, all of these were lit up in the bedroom. As the night light controls are right beside the bed, it was like having a torch shining in your face, so we called down for an engineer to come up.” 1
- “While I would have preferred the first option, I was impressed of how beautiful it was to sit on the terrace overlooking Avenue Kleber, enjoying the first sun rays of the day and being served a truly outstanding American breakfast.” 9
- “Each meticulously designed guest room whispers indulgence through handcrafted furnishings, sumptuous fabrics, and state-of-the-art technology discreetly woven into every detail.” On camera190:27
- “The bedroom had a king bed, and I liked that there was ceiling lighting, not just lamps.” 13
- “Inside, a calm, modern suite was at our disposal, immaculately decorated in light champagne-monochrome colour tones and neutral decor.” 4
Service34 mentions · 4 filmed
- “After a warm welcome and swift check-in, I was on the way to my Junior Suite.” 26
- “-Rooftop bar hostess repeatedly described as rude and unprofessional - turning away guests arbitrarily, claiming weather issues when sunny, with empty cleaned tables visible while guests wait” 27
- “For those craving efficiency, Express Check-in ensures your arrival is as seamless as the free Wi-Fi connectivity that keeps you effortlessly tethered to the world beyond before departing.” 19
- “the bellman came running over and tried to untie me but the wind was blowing so his scarf was in his face but it was it was this really dramatic experience but he was just so nice and he was like right there for us” On camera124:07
- “The highlight of the whole welcome experience was the arrival of the amazingly friendly Guest Relations Manager Geoffrey who more felt like a private Asisstant rather than a hotel staff member.” 9
- “I also appreciated the walk-in dressing room, complete with a built-in nail dryer (a Peninsula signature) and a valet door that allows staff to return clothes from cleaning or hang shopping purchases without disturbing guests.” 31
- “Great hard product. Service was overly attentive.” 23
- “when we talk to our friends their check-in experience was amazing they took them up to the room showed them a full tour of how the technology and the room worked and all of the great amenities inside the room” On camera121:38
- “The staff rolls out the red carpet for children as much as their parents, welcoming young guests with thoughtful touches, and the Peninsula Academy programming includes family-friendly activities like a culinary lesson with the hotel's pastry chef and a family portrait session at the renowned Studio Harcourt nearby.” 31
- “+Specific outstanding staff members repeatedly praised: Adama (terrace/rooftop server), Antoine (rooftop bartender), Etienne (bartender and Lili restaurant server), Adriano (bartender), Arvin (bar server), and Rana (guest relations)” 27
- “our fourth category is service service we rate five stars the peninsula brand is known for exceptional service and this property is no different” On camera123:45
- “Our check-in experience went smoothly and was made all the more welcoming by the Peninsula team who each embody the Peninsula spirit - warm and inviting with a hint of far eastern flair.” 3
- “The staff are friendly and helpful, and the hotel is conveniently located.” 32
- “All of the staff at the spa; the doormen, all the restaurant staff (excluding that one lady), the room service and nice touches of housekeeping going overboard with even the dental kits being restocked daily.” 1
- “The hard product was impeccable, the food was good, the service was hit or miss.” 23
- “Huge leather Art Deco headboards frame plush beds decked out in sumptuous linens.” 30
- “Location and service are terrible and there was construction right outside the property when I stayed there.” 23
- “The pool even has lifeguards, who were so friendly and handsome that I started to question my sexuality.” 1
- “-Restaurant service issues with wrong orders delivered multiple times, staff with limited English comprehension, and requests for tips even after poor service” 27
- “The flavors in each dish were masterful and the cocktails equally as delicious. We especially appreciated that Lili offers MANY options for vegetarians. And the staff were only too happy to help make accommodations to any of the dishes we wanted to try.” 14
- “The service here is beyond luxurious. Every need and want you could have is addressed almost instantly, and usually by a staff member who is not only smiling but genuinely interested in whether you're having the best possible stay.” 14
- “The service from the doormen, to the front desk team, to the concierge team, and across all of the restaurants and bars was impeccable.” 18
- “Service was good, although not quite as thorough as last time. Housekeeping missed some litter on the half bathroom floor that was leftover from a prior guest, and there were some delays in getting back to us on inquiries.” 13
- “Walking into the marbled lobby with its arched ceiling and black and gold finishes on the front desk, you're greeted by touches of thoughtful modern art, like a hanging sculpture, and a lovely, attentive staff.” 20
- “Impeccable service and thoughtful details make this worth a splurge.” 15
- “There were times where it felt rather cold, such as the front desk having no desire to temporarily look after our bugs and sending us off to concierge instead, only for the doorman to realise their mistake and luckily intervene.” 1
- “It reopened in 2014 after a four-year, multi-million dollar restoration, and the historic property offers guests opulent interiors and a high level of service made possible by the 600 staff members.” 30
- “The rooms are big and high tech, the pool is the largest of any hotel in the city and the concierge desk is one fabulous resource. They helped me plan a perfect Valentine's Day for John, book train tickets on my laptop and gave me a list of places to try on my next visit.” 7
- “The service at The Peninsula Paris is exceptional. The staff pride themselves on being unobtrusive yet always available, and on providing impeccable service for every guest.” 32
- “If you ask yourself why I rated the Peninsula with 10 points out of 10, I have to admit that there was not even one thing that I missed or did not found to be good. It was a flawless stay that has been tailored to a very personal one thanks to Guest Relations Manager Geoffrey.” 9
- “The variety of the cuisine and dining experiences, combined with exceptional service will please all ages and interests.” 18
- “The Suite Katara and the Peninsula Suite are among the largest and most elaborately appointed suites in the Paris luxury market, with the substantial private terraces, the dedicated heritage architectural detail, and the dedicated 24-hour butler service.” 25
- “yes we also did have the opportunity to see housekeeping live because we came up to the room while they were going through and they were extremely detailed even though we were in the room they went through everything thoroughly and left the room almost immaculate from how we came in to when they left it was just outstanding they even hung up my jacket” On camera125:19
- “Luckily I know to double check everything anyone ever does, as I also asked the concierge to print Disneyland tickets and they simply printed off the email I sent them, that in big, bold writing said "do not print this email, as it is not a ticket".” 1

- “Everything about the Peninsula is clean, crisp, modern, luxurious, and so perfect. We absolutely loved the location with its easy access to the popular sites and amazing shopping.” 18
- “The Peninsula Paris occupies a substantial Haussmann-era heritage building on Avenue Kléber - among the most architecturally significant streets of the 16th arrondissement, approximately 5 minutes' walk from the Arc de Triomphe and the Place de l'Étoile. The position produces several specific advantages over the alternative Parisian palace hotels.” 25
- “The Peninsula Paris is located in the 16tharrondissement on the tree-lined Avenue Kleber, within walking distance to several sights and many shops and restaurants.” 30
- “Nicely situated at 19 Avenue Kléber, the Peninsula Paris is a stone's throw to the Arc du Triompe and located near all the happenings of Paris.” 8
- “The 16th arrondissement is quiet and largely residential, and I love that it feels local yet is just a few minutes' walk from the Arc de Triomphe (and a slightly longer but still easy stroll from the Eiffel Tower).” 31
- “The location of the hotel simply cannot be beat, with the Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Élysées and some of the world's best shopping all within close walking distance.” 21
- “The Peninsula Paris has one of the best locations in all of Paris. You are STEPS away from the Arc de Triomphe, close to the shopping on the Champs-Élysées, and just over a mile away from the Eiffel Tower.” 14
- “Location and service are terrible and there was construction right outside the property when I stayed there.” 23
- “The Peninsula Paris is located in Avenue Kleber, one of the most prestigious avenues in Paris. It is well placed for experiencing the finer things that the city has to offer.” 22
- “+Prime location one block from Arc de Triomphe, walking distance to Champs-Élysées but quiet enough to avoid tourist chaos” 27
- “our first category is location location we rate five stars it's really hard to go wrong when you're literally a block from the arctic trio yeah it's such a central location they're right in the middle of everything” On camera120:34
Bed & Sleep4 mentions · 1 filmed
- “The vast king bed was upgraded with the best linen in cool grey - I would already say it's a signature thing here at the Peninsula Paris.” 9
- “and if you're familiar with the peninsula brand the bedding is so comfortable all i want to do is jump into our friend's bed right now which i probably don't think they'd appreciate” On camera122:58
- “The King bed was extremely comfortable, with a pillowtop mattress and super soft cotton sateen sheets.” 26
- “Having slept in the most heavenly way, my colleague and me were ready to explore what this palace has to offer for breakfast.” 9
Value7 mentions
- “The hotel's restaurants are pricey, but the service is excellent, and the food is worth the price tag.” 32
- “They have given you this massive wardrobe area, but at the expensive of the living room being practical. The entire living room feels like it was added on as an after thought, with the sofa being so tiny that your pet hamster would struggle for space, and the lack of a dining room table meaning you'll have to eat all your meals stood up or from a bowl they presumably” 1
- “A Parisian hotel that is finally worth the room rates of 1k dollars.” 9
- “If there's anything I learnt from this experience it is thus: Rolls Royces are expensive and, maybe, just maybe - ok, definitely - , not worth the price. They could have also improved the experience by offering drinks within the car that were on my stay list.” 1
- “When you're famished, previous visitors recommend returning to the hotel for Cantonese-style bites at LiLi or traditional Parisian meals with an Eiffel Tower view at L'Oiseau Blanc. However, recent patrons cautioned that the dishes served on-site are pricey.” 10
- “The only disappointment I felt was L'Oiseau Blanc, where the only thing worthy of the large price tag (albeit tiny for Paris) was the dessert and the view of the Eiffel Tower. It offers excellent produce, but bland and boring food.” 1
- “Breakfast is offered in the Peninsula Paris Lobby. It would be a rather pricey affair, as even the Continental Breakfast is EUR 42 per person, while a full American Breakfast that includes eggs is EUR 53 per person.” 26
View3 mentions · 1 filmed
- “With a stellar view of the Eiffel Tower (though not as great as the view from L'Oiseau Blanc) and a stunning open-air bar with killer cocktails, I could easily spend every night at this rooftop.” 14
- “open since August 1st 2014 the iconic house Manan building has raised the standards in terms of design luxury and comfort to achieve the highest level of Excellence all this with 200 luxurious rooms including 86 Suites five of which have private rooftop gardens and a panoramic view of the most emblematic monuments of the city of light” On camera110:30
- “The space itself is perfection. Perched atop the Peninsula Paris rooftop with a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower... what's not to love?” 14
Noise2 mentions
- “Our Grand Premier Room was an oasis amid the traffic and bustle below; as soon as we closed the French doors that led to a petite balcony overlooking Avenue Kléber, all traces of street noise dropped away.” 31
- “After finally getting to sleep, I was woken up at 6am every day from the dustbin truck turning up to remove all the waste. This was loud. Not like hearing a mouse fart, but seriously loud like they let loose some monkeys into my room that started smashing all the china.” 1
