About Shangri-La Paris
Prince Roland Bonaparte’s 1896 mansion on the Avenue d’Iéna, turned into a hotel in 2010 and the only palace in Paris where the reception rooms look straight at the Eiffel Tower across the river.
Three of them, the Grand Salon, the Salle à Manger and the Salon de Famille, are listed as Monuments Historiques and connect to a private terrace with that view.
There are 100 rooms and suites, 31 of them facing the tower, so a wedding party can stay in the building.
The hotel quotes seated dinners up to 500, but its own advice is to keep a wedding near 100, and that is right: the listed rooms are the reason to be here and they are not vast.

Did not stay for the night a but went here for their offering, "A table with a view". We were offered a beautiful table in a suite with a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower. Food and service by our host was great. Unforgetable experience.

Questions about the venue
How many guests can Shangri-La Paris seat?+
The hotel quotes seated dinners of up to 500 across its spaces, but recommends weddings of up to about 100 so the celebration stays in the listed reception rooms with the Eiffel Tower view rather than spilling into larger, plainer space.
Do the wedding rooms actually face the Eiffel Tower?+
Yes. The Grand Salon, Salle à Manger and Salon de Famille are all listed Monuments Historiques and share a private terrace looking across the Seine at the tower. Thirty-one of the guest rooms face it too.
What does a wedding at Shangri-La Paris cost?+
The hotel quotes each event and publishes no rate card. Paris palace hotels bill catering well above €250 a head before drinks, and rooms run from about €1,200 a night in season. Every figure on this page is an estimate.
Can we hold a legal ceremony at the hotel?+
No. A legally binding marriage in France takes place at a mairie, and the 16th arrondissement town hall is minutes away. Couples marry there and hold the symbolic ceremony and reception in the hotel’s salons.
Is a Paris hotel wedding easier for guests than a château?+
Usually. Guests sleep in the building, walk down to the ceremony, and go straight up afterwards, which removes the coach schedule that dominates a château weekend. It costs more per head, and it gives you no garden.
