In December 2012, Shangri-La Hotel, Paris
opened its Health Club, solely dedicated to the
well-being of its guests. Located in what were once
Prince Roland Bonaparte’s stables, the swimming
pool is bathed in natural daylight thanks to
enormous glass windows, as is the fitness room.
Two spacious and elegant treatment rooms offer a
selection of facial and body treatments by CARITA,
KOS PARIS and THÉMAÉ.
Wining and Dining
Shangri-La Hotel, Paris has elevated the fine
dining experience in Paris with three exquisite
restaurants —La Bauhinia, L’Abeille and Shang Palace.
La Bauhinia takes its name from the iconic flower
that graces the Hong Kong flag. Seating is on the
ground floor as well as a mezzanine level in the heart
of the hotel beneath the magnificent 1930s-era,
Eiffel-inspired steel and glass cupola, making La
Bauhinia the social hub of the hotel. The airy and
luminous lounge restaurant seats 80, and has an
extensive menu spanning Western and Oriental
classic dishes focusing on authentic, traditional
favorites. Guests can also treat themselves to La
Bauhinia’s five-star brunch during the weekends, and
enjoy Pastry Chef François Perret’s afternoon tea
every day of the week.
The one-Michelin star L’Abeille, under the
direction of Executive Chef Christophe Moret, is an
enchanting French restaurant delighting diners with
dishes that are composed like a pitch-perfect musical
scale. The restaurant offers highly creative modern
variations on classic French recipes. L’Abeille’s plush
interior is adorned in tones of silver, grey and taupe,
lending a truly luxurious ambience to the space.
Unique details such as taffeta curtains, inspired 19th-
century motifs by Lelièvre, bespoke porcelain and a
smoked crystal chandelier designed by Pierre-Yves
Rochon himself provides the finishing touches for
this intimate, 40-seat restaurant.
Awarded one star in the Michelin Guide,
Shangri-La Hotel, Paris’ Shang Palace is the
epicenter of fine traditional Chinese/Cantonese-
inspired dishes. Shang Palace opened its doors as
the first Chinese fine dining restaurant of this
caliber in France. The chef and his brigade of four
Hong Kong chefs assure its authentic culinary style.
The team consists of four masters: Wok, BBQ,
Chopper and Dim Sum. Likewise its ambience and
décor has been designed by a Hong Kong-based
interior decorator.
