The Peninsula Paris received the coveted Palace status, bestowed by Atout France, the French tourism agency. The property joins a top tier of high-ranking luxury Parisian hotels. The prize is awarded to 5-star hotels in the city defined by exemplary features. “We are absolutely delighted to receive this prestigious distinction,” said Katja Henke, general manager, The Peninsula Paris. “I wish to acknowledge the role played in this success by the hotel’s staff, who work every day to meet the highly demanding service standards for which The Peninsula Hotels group is known around the world. We will continue to work hard to ensure that this tradition of service excellence is maintained.” The Peninsula Paris is the first European Peninsula property, after its opening Aug. 1, 2014. After extensive renovations, the hotel offers 200 guestrooms and 34 suites. Five suites offer private rooftop gardens with views of top Parisian landmarks. The guestrooms are some of the largest in the city and some of the best in the world in regards to in-room technology. The property offers three dining options: Le Lobby, Lili restaurant and L’Oiseau Blanc. The award-winning Peninsula Spa at The Peninsula Paris occupies 19,000 square feet. Through Sept. 30, guests can help the hotel celebrate the new honor with the Peninsula Palace promotion, which includes complimentary Champagne and 30 additional minutes added to every 60-minute spa treatment.
