The Peninsula Paris: 1908 Haussmannian palace on Avenue Kléber with Two-Michelin-Starred L’Oiseau Blanc, 20m pool, and French spa

Reigning with immortal 1908 Belle Époque Haussmannian architectural majesty and French grand palace nobility along prestigious Avenue Kléber in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris, Île-de-France, France (just steps from the Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Élysées, and Place de l’Étoile, 30 minutes from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport), The Peninsula Paris opened within the landmark 1908 Hotel Majestic building (where George Gershwin composed An American in Paris in 1928 and the Paris Peace Accords were signed in 1973). Officially awarded the coveted French Palace Distinction and celebrating consecutive Forbes Five-Star ratings, the 200-room luxury palace underwent a monumental six-year restoration by France’s finest master artisans (restoring 40,000 pieces of gold leaf). Centered around world-famous Chef David Bizet’s acclaimed Two-Michelin-Starred rooftop dining institution L’Oiseau Blanc (celebrating aviation with a 75-percent scale model of the 1927 biplane), a magnificent 20-metre subterranean heated indoor freshwater swimming pool, and the palatial 1,800-square-metre Forbes Five-Star Peninsula Spa by Biologique Recherche, this property is the City of Light’s ultimate grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Parisian aristocratic glamour and Avenue Kléber historic splendour: liveried Peninsula pageboys in white pillbox hats greet guests beneath the monumental carved stone portico on Avenue Kléber before entering the soaring restored Belle Époque lobby salon with 20-foot gilded ceilings, Lasvit crystal Dancing Leaves installation, and chilled Champagne or signature Peninsula Afternoon Tea with warm artisanal canapés. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Paris haute couture, art, and aviation pursuits: walking two minutes to the Arc de Triomphe and luxury flagships of the Champs-Élysées (steps away), private guided VIP tours through the masterpieces of the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay (10 minutes away), private VIP shopping consultations arranged with Avenue Montaigne fashion houses (5 minutes away), swimming across the 20-metre subterranean heated pool, indulging in Cha Ling and Biologique Recherche therapies at the 1,800 sq m Forbes Five-Star Spa, sipping rare Cognacs in the historic wood-paneled Bar Kléber, and reserving a rooftop table for dinner framing the Eiffel Tower at Two-Michelin-Starred L’Oiseau Blanc.

Palace living balances active Paris cultural discovery with serene subterranean sanctuary wellness: The Peninsula Spa spans 1,800 square metres featuring 8 private luxury treatment suites with thermal hydrotherapy showers, steam rooms, saunas, a 20-metre heated indoor pool, and therapies combining French cellular cosmetics by Biologique Recherche and Cha Ling. Dining is an extraordinary French-Cantonese culinary summit: Two-Michelin-Starred aviation gastronomy at L’Oiseau Blanc by Chef David Bizet (celebrated for blue lobster, Saint-Pierre, pigeon, and sommelier Grand Crus), authentic Cantonese at LiLi, traditional afternoon tea in Le Lobby, cocktails at Bar Kléber, and 24-hour in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 200 rooms and luxury executive suites styled by Chhada Siembieda in warm cream boiserie, bespoke French silks, deep freestanding marble soaking bathtubs with embedded TV mirrors, private walk-in dressing rooms, and large French windows or private rooftop garden terraces framing the Eiffel Tower ranging from 50 to 318 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom Peninsula botanical amenities.
