Reviews from Google“Our stay was absolutely incredible! The hotel itself is stunning, and our room had the most breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, it truly felt like we had the best spot in all of Paris. Waking up to that view every morning and seeing the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night was something our family will never forget. The concierge team went above and beyond for us throughout our entire stay. They were amazing, incredibly attentive, and always so accommodating to our family. They even had the cutest special touches for the kids, which made them feel so welcome and made our stay even more memorable. From the beautiful hotel and unforgettable views to the exceptional service, everything exceeded our expectations. It was such a special part of our time in Paris, and we would absolutely stay here again!”
“We went a special meal and we were amazed how beautiful the food was. Absolutely superb. Could not fault the service. We had ordered the steak and while we were waiting we had the most beautiful bread and because they felt the main meal was taking slightly longer than they expected (it really wasn't). They brought us the most georgous salmon dish while we waited. It was superb. They even gave us an extra desert of macarons with a thin chocolate slab with "Happy Anniversary" written on. Superb!!”
“I loved staying at this hotel! Alexandre, the host made sure to be attentive to every detail so I felt welcomed. As I walked in it was like stepping back in time into a historic mansion while at the same time feeling that every little detail had been thought out for the best guest experience. The food was excellent at all the options that I tried and the Botaniste bar is not to be missed! I will definitely be back!”
“Our stay here was the highlight of our trip to Paris. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcomed. The champagne upon arrival was a lovely touch, and our children were absolutely thrilled to pick a toy from the treasure box. The property is stunning, full of history, and impeccably maintained. We stayed in a Junior Suite, which provided plenty of space and privacy for our family. The on-site dining and bars were also excellent. What stood out most was the staff. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel special throughout our stay. I highly recommend staying here and would gladly return on our next visit to Paris.”
“We had a wonderful stay at Shangri-La Paris (15–17 May 2026 Room 412). Despite an early arrival, our room was ready at check-in — a small but much-appreciated gesture. The same front desk agent assisted us throughout, from check-in to check-out, and was consistently helpful, friendly, and attentive. We regret not catching his name, but his exceptional service truly made our stay memorable. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Shangri-La Paris to anyone seeking a warm and attentive hospitality experience.”
