The Peninsula Paris

1908 landmark by the Arc de Triomphe, with a rooftop restaurant

Address: 19 Avenue Kléber, 75116 Paris

The former Hôtel Majestic, opened in 1908, reopened in 2014 as Peninsula's Paris flagship after a major restoration. It fills a whole Haussmann block, and rooms use grey and cream lacquered furniture. The top floor holds the two-Michelin-star L'Oiseau Blanc, with the Eiffel Tower straight ahead. The Arc de Triomphe is a short walk away.
