Hotel The Peninsula Paris

This century-old building is full of history and was once The Majestic, another #luxuryhotel.

Many famous guests lodged in the drawing rooms – think Picasso, Stravinsky, Marcel Proust and George Gershwin, who wrote ‘An American in #Paris’ here in 1928.

The site was later Unesco’s headquarters until 1958, before being turned into the International Conference Centre, where the treaty which ended the Vietnam War was signed. Pass an imposing pair of lions as you enter the white stone building, before descending into an grandiose main hall: think Versailles-style ceilings, with an enormous Lasvit chandelier – then even more handmade crystal glass, sophisticated mouldings, marble and woodwork.

Possibly the most beautiful #luxury #hotel in #Paris.
