"Christmas at Shangri-La Paris unfolds beneath the grand glass dome of La Bauhinia restaurant, where gilded tradition meets modern grace. The Parisian Festive Escape offer pairs a stay with a sumptuous holiday dinner — or afternoon tea, should you wish to linger longer in the glow of the chandeliers. Chefs Simon Havage and Timothy Lam elevate the season with festive menus that blend French elegance and Asian warmth, while at Shang Palace , Chef Tony Xu’s holiday dishes bring refined Chinese artistry to the table. The sweetest magic comes from Pastry Chef Timothy Lam, in his Vanilla Flower Yule Log. For seasonal cocktails, head to Le Bar Botaniste, where winter botanicals and candlelit ambiance frame one of the most elegant holiday cocktail experiences in Paris." - Ty Gaskins

"During my stay in the former home of Prince Roland Bonaparte, I experienced the five-star Shangri-La Paris, which overlooks the Eiffel Tower and the River Seine in the 16th arrondissement and offers guests a glimpse into royal history and unparalleled city views; it also houses a top-notch dining scene, notably Shang Palace, the hotel's Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant." - Alexa Rockwell

"Housed in a private mansion built before the Eiffel Tower, the hotel offers spectacular proximity to the Iron Lady—about 40% of rooms and 60% of suites have direct views, with some suites even offering private wraparound terraces to take in the vista." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Shangri‑La Paris was an important step in my career where my desserts gained visibility, and I’m particularly proud to see Timothy Lam, my former sous‑chef, take over there — a recognition of his talent and commitment." - Nicola Leigh Stewart

"Housed in the former residence of Prince Roland Bonaparte, I found the Shangri-La Paris a sumptuous blend of Belle Époque romance and contemporary indulgence: the 100-room property (opened 2010) features crystal chandeliers, ornate fireplaces, painted frescoes, acres of marble, and a sun-dappled spa pool about 56 feet long. Many rooms and suites offer Eiffel Tower glimpses, while the terrace of the Suite Chaillot promises an unforgettable tête-à-tête with the monument; the hotel’s garden invites a relaxed meal (lobster tortellini at La Bauhinia). Culinary highlights include Shang Palace, the first Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in France, where chef Tony Xu balances Chengdu roots with fine French ingredients such as Bresse poultry for creative dishes like lo hei." - Mary Winston Nicklin, Lindsey Tramuta
