The Peninsula Paris combines a restored Belle Époque interior with a contemporary level of service and a rooftop terrace a few steps from the Arc de Triomphe. Its event spaces are sized for the high end of corporate hospitality: executive dinners, presentations and receptions rather than large conventions.

Which events it suits

Executive dinners of up to 132 guests and presentations of up to 180 in the Etoile Ballroom, intimate dinners in the Rotunda, board meetings in the mezzanine rooms, and cocktail receptions of up to 150 guests on the L’Oiseau Blanc rooftop terrace, six floors above the avenue Kléber.

Planning notes

The meeting rooms on the mezzanine have a ceiling height of 2.35 metres, well suited to working sessions but not to staging, whereas the Etoile Ballroom and the Gershwin salon offer more height. Day packages require a minimum number of participants, so check the conditions if your group is small.
