PARISIAN SUPER-LUXE

SRT’s Giles is back from a luxurious weekend in Paris, and frankly we are all more than a little envious. He reports that the Shangri-La Paris not only meets but beats expectations with it’s style, glamour and location. Whether you fly or take the train, this is a very easy short break that somehow seems to get overlooked.

The Shangri-La Paris is the former home of Prince Roland Bonaparte, gracefully restored as a Parisian palace. Its position gives breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower and is home to France’s only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant. After seeing the sights, relax by the beautiful indoor pool bathed in natural daylight thanks to enormous glass windows, located in what was once Prince Roland Bonaparte’s stables.

While in Paris, Giles sought out a few new restaurants off the usual tourist trail. Les Enfants Perdus, Cafe Charlot, Hotel du Nord and Buvette Gastrotheque. And re-visited the old favourite La Coupole, the brasserie famous for Fruits de Mer and hosting film stars and poets since 1927. He says it was just as good as ever!
