Hong Kong’s luxury chain brought a spectacular hotel to Paris. Contemporary urban furniture, state-of-the-art technology and the 360° view from the panorama terrace redefine 21st century luxury. The generous lobby with its stucco elements and a chandelier made of 800 crystal glass leaves is another huge attraction.
Historic relevance is key at the Peninsula: in 1928 George Gershwin composed ‘An American in Paris’ here, in 1973 Secretaries-of-State Henry Kissinger (US) and Le Doc Tho (Vietnam) signed the famous ‘Parisian Treaty’ here.
