2 Best Hotels in Challiot and Ternes, Paris

Displaying French elegance at its best, this impressively restored 19th-century mansion gazing across the Seine at the Eiffel Tower was once the stately home of Prince Roland Bonaparte, grandnephew of the emperor himself, and his gilded private apartments have been transformed into \"L'Appartement Prince Bonaparte. Many of the luxurious historical details were carefully restored or faithfully re-created for the property's transformation in 2010 into the first Shangri-La hotel in Europe. This hotel is now a classic, with half of the rooms smack-dab in front of the Eiffel Tower, and nearly two-thirds with their own balconies. All have ultraglamorous French and Asian touches and the latest technological amenities. Marble bathrooms have deep soaking bathtubs, heated floors, Guerlain toiletries, and TV screens embedded in the mirrors. Two highly rated restaurants (including one with a stunning atrium), a 24/7 fitness room, Paris's most beautiful indoor hotel pool (with an outdoor terrace), and a soothing wellness center with therapeutic facials, massages, and body treatments make it hard to ever leave.
