The Peninsula Paris has created a distinct niche for itself among the most luxurious destinations in Paris—the hotel has recently been awarded the grand “Palace “distinction. Located within walking distance of Champs Elysees and some of the most famous monuments, museums and luxury boutiques, The Peninsula Paris has achieved the distinction within two years of its opening. A joint venture property between Katara Hospitality and The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels Limited (HSH), this hotel is actually a grand restoration of the legendary Hausmann building, with 200 rooms including 34 suites— five of which come with a private garden space that offers a mesmerizing view of iconic Parisian monuments. Bestowed by the French Tourism Development Agency, ATOUT France, the “Palace” status was created in November 2010 to reward hotel excellence and to assist in promoting the French way of life on the international stage. ATOUT France is the official agency in charge of developing tourism and awarding the “Palace distinction”, above the 5-star ranking, to hotels with exceptional characteristics. The Peninsula Paris is the latest to join this hallowed list that includes names such as the Four Seasons Hotel George V and Hôtel Le Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme. The Peninsula Paris has earlier received awards for it’s lavish in house Spa which was voted Best French Hotel Spa in the 2015 World Spa Awards and Best European Spa in the 2015 Villegiature Awards.
