The Peninsula

PARIS From the vast private rooftop garden of the Katara Suite it’s impossible to forget where you are, with such historic landmarks as the Arc de Triomphe, the eiffel Tower and notre Dame peppering the view. The Peninsula has its own intriguing history. As the Majestic hotel, it was where george gershwin wrote An American in Paris in 1928, and in 1973 it was the location for the signing of the Paris Peace Accords, marking the end of us involvement in the Vietnam War. The attention to detail in the 2,000sqft suite, which has the option of adding a second bedroom, is befitting of the world’s most romantic city. The understated art deco vibe is punctuated by pieces of modern art and there’s a striking red sculpture by nathalie Decoster on the balcony. Creams, greys and blacks make up the soothing palette, and giant windows flood the rooms with that special Parisian light. The suite’s chauffeurdriven Mini Cooper—dressed in Peninsula green, of course—is on hand for outings to the chicest boutiques, bars and restaurants. paris.peninsula.com
