The Peninsula Paris

Wow what a place to stay, from the moment we arrived until being waved off in the taxi this place was truly exceptional, the best hotel we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in some nice places. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary here for 3 nights, and were met in reception by the Hotel Manager Sebastian, who was very charming. We had a surprise upgrade which was an amazing surprise, to a suite. Wow wow wow, this rarely happens in life I nearly cried. The room was just flawless, and beyond special, a huge lounge area, with a little terrace, 2 toilets, 2 sets of bathrobes, separate bedroom and walk in dressing room, an absolutely enormous circular bathroom. Everything is touch button, touch curtains, iPads everywhere for any request you have and as a master control for everything. The most beautiful linen, fluffy towels and 2 bathrobes each, one for the spa and one for the room. 2 mini fridges, built in coffee machine so no need to keep filling with water. Some lovely touches, a handwritten card to welcome us and noting our special occasion. The bar on the ground floor too, so nice, great attentive waiters, particularly Adamo and Francisco, really lovely fun guys but very professional too. We ate one night in Lily, that was stunning too with great food. Seriously we did not want to leave. I did spend a lot of time looking for the perfect hotel, and had chopped and changed a bit, given this was such a special weekend for us, and this went far beyond anything I could have imagined. Thank you to Sebastian and team, we are converted to the Peninsula chain and we cannot wait to return

I truly loved my stay at this palace! We came here to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and it was the perfect setting for such a special occasion. The building is absolutely magnificent and steeped in history, which makes the experience even more exceptional. The staff’s attention to detail and genuine care made our stay truly memorable. The location is perfect as well. This palace has become, without a doubt, a Parisian home in my heart.

I visited The Peninsula in Paris on a Friday night with high expectations, given its reputation and luxurious setting. Unfortunately, the experience was far from what I expected. I ordered a Caesar salad, which was extremely overpriced for what it was. The biggest issue was the taste — it had a very strong fish sauce flavor that was overpowering and honestly unpleasant. It completely ruined the dish. For a place of this standard, I expected much better quality and attention to detail. Paying such a high price for something so disappointing felt like a waste. I would not recommend this dish, and I left feeling let down. Definitely not worth the money in my opinion.

My partner and I spent two wonderful nights at The Peninsula Paris this March, and the experience was exceptional from beginning to end. We arrived in Paris by Eurostar and were warmly welcomed right from the station. From that moment until our departure two days later, every detail of our stay felt seamless and thoughtful. The teams at reception were incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to help with genuine warmth. The housekeeping team also deserves special recognition for the care they put into the room and the lovely little surprises and thoughtful touches throughout our stay, which made the experience feel truly special. Breakfast in the lobby restaurant was absolutely fantastic, with a beautiful setting and a delicious selection to start the day. Another highlight of our visit was the Sunday brunch, which we will remember for a long time. The atmosphere, the quality of the food and the overall experience made it one of the most memorable moments of our trip. This stay will remain a very special memory for us, and we cannot wait to return to The Peninsula Paris on our next visit to the city.

So, what do you do when your husband wants luxury and your college kid wants nothing to do with stuffy hotels when staying in Paris?! I finally found the answer. And, it may surprise you. It did me. This past January, when all the holiday crowds left, we experienced our most favorite trip to Paris thus far at the Peninsula. The Concierge was the best we have experienced (and we travel a lot), finding that last minute table at the best restaurants. Rooms are perfect sized. And the bar and restaurant? Amazing vibe and perfect cocktails. Lots of locals and that should say it all. Thank you Peninsula Paris!
