The Shangri-La Paris offers something no modern ballroom can reproduce: the reception rooms of a princely residence of the late nineteenth century, with salons that can be combined into a single reception suite. Its event spaces are measured in hundreds rather than thousands of guests, which suits evenings where the setting and the service matter more than the size of the audience.
Gala dinners of up to 280 guests and receptions of up to 500 in the Salons Historiques, board meetings and private dinners in the individual salons, and presentations or conferences of up to about 260 people in the Salon Roland Bonaparte, which benefits from daylight. It is a natural choice for luxury brands and for executive events hosting international guests.
Because the historic salons are listed, decoration, rigging and staging must respect the protection of the interiors: submit plans early and expect restrictions on fixing elements to walls or ceilings. The Salon Roland Bonaparte, lower but daylit, is better suited to projection and technical set-ups than the historic rooms.
Other palace ballrooms, such as the Salon Opéra of the InterContinental Paris Le Grand, are compared in our guide to Paris hotels with event space, and seated evening capacities in our guide to gala dinner venues.
The combined Salons Historiques hold up to 500 guests at a reception and 280 at a banquet, and the Salon Roland Bonaparte up to 300 at a reception and 200 at a banquet, according to the hotel’s website.
It was built in 1896 as the home of Prince Roland Bonaparte, and its most historic areas are listed as a historic monument.
By metro to Iéna (line 9), a few minutes on foot. The hotel is about 45 minutes from Charles de Gaulle and 30 minutes from Orly.
