The Peninsula Paris to dazzle the capital on August 1, 2014
The Peninsula Paris will make a grand entrance onto the Parisian scene on August 1. The opening marks the European debut of The Peninsula Hotels group, and sets new standards in design, luxury and comfort.
As the 14th hotel in Katar Hospitality’s 26-strong portfolio, The Peninsula Paris is set to become the most emblematic. Located not far from the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Elysées in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, the establishment has been completely renovated to become a sumptuous Parisian palace.
The historic architecture of the hotel, built in 1908, required a colossal investment by Katara Hospitality and The Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels.
France’s finest craftsmen worked for four consecutive years to renovate this exceptional place. Through meticulous research and work, the French heritage has re-emerged, sublimated by the combination of the contemporary and the ancient. The architectural restoration of the building was led by Richard Martinet of Affine Architecture & Interior Design, and the interior design by Henry Leung of Chhada Siembieda & Associates Ltd.
Romanticism, elegance and French art de vivre come together here.
French tradition meets Asian refinement in a perfectly balanced combination, where the best of both cultures come together to form an exceptional whole.
From the Avenue Kléber facade, you can see the first chic, uncluttered terrace, dotted with plants. The entrance opens onto the Empire-style lobby, renovated in the colors of yesteryear. Strolling along a white marble parterre, the corridors are adorned with moldings and crystal sconces.
Two restaurants with different universes will delight the taste buds of aesthetes.
Located on the ground floor, Lili is an Asian restaurant serving gourmet Cantonese cuisine. The chromatic palette evolves around dark wood, creamy beige and violet, sprinkled with blue.
L’Oiseau Blanc is the hotel’s second restaurant. Majestically situated on the building’s 7th floor, it will offer traditional French cuisine with a modern twist, in addition to a view of Paris. Rooted in French heritage, the name and design of the restaurant refers to the plane “L’Oiseau Blancs” which, piloted by a French aviator, attempted to fly from Paris to New York.
The hotel’s rooms and suites are a showcase of Asian refinement. High-tech, modern and comfortable, the rooms are among the most personalized in the world.
Artworks, bars, conference rooms, boutiques or cigar smoking rooms are just some of the surprisingly charming spaces you’ll be able to discover on August 1, 2014.
A place where luxury and modernity reign supreme, The Peninsula Paris promises to become one of the world’s finest palaces, if not already the most beautiful establishment in Paris.
The Peninsula Paris, 19 Avenue de Kléber, 75116 Paris.
