Shangri-La Paris occupies the former private mansion of Prince Roland Bonaparte, built in 1896 in the city's 16th arrondissement. Its stone façade, wrought-iron gates, and courtyard entrance still carry the character of a private residence rather than a hotel.
Just steps from the Trocadéro, many of its rooms and terraces open onto direct views of the Eiffel Tower, a rare vantage point for wedding photography in Paris.
Why choose Shangri-La Paris for a wedding in the heart of Paris
Where is Shangri-La Paris located and why it matters for a wedding
Shangri-La Paris appeals to couples who want the intimacy of a private mansion with the scale and service of a grand palace hotel. Its Shang Palace, La Bauhinia winter garden, and L'Abeille, its Michelin-starred restaurant, offer a range of settings for every part of the celebration.
The hotel's rooftop terrace, in the style of L'Oiseau Blanc, is particularly sought after for its unobstructed views of the Eiffel Tower, a favorite for both ceremonies and evening portraits.
Shangri-La Paris is located at 10 Avenue d'Iéna, in the 16th arrondissement, directly across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower and a short walk from the Trocadéro gardens.
This position places couples and their guests within walking distance of some of Paris's most photographed landmarks, while offering the calm of a residential neighborhood rather than a busy tourist district.
The hotel's own gardens, courtyard, and rooftop provide everything needed for photography on site, with the Trocadéro and Pont de Iéna just minutes away for additional portraits.
