As you arrive at Shangri-La Hotel, situated in the heart of Paris,  its elegant façade brings to mind its legacy as the former home of Napoleon Bonaparte’s grandnephew, Prince Roland Bonaparte. Shangri-La Hotel offers 81 rooms including 27 suites.  As with the rest of the hotel, Richard Martinet directed the architectural renovations and Pierre-Yves Rochon designed the interior style – at times “Empire,” at times “Luxury minimalist,” at times a stunning mix of both. Rooms have commanding views of the Eiffel Tower and the River Seine hold you transfixed.
