Additionally, this haute five-star hotel is celebrating the Paris 2024 Olympic Games this summer by inviting guests to explore a miniature Paris in its lobby. From Friday 28 June, the Palace visitors will be immersed in an authentic and romantic Parisian atmosphere in the heart of the hotel lobby, the main meeting and traffic area. This space, which will be transformed into a veritable fan zone for the start of the events, will evoke the iconic landmarks of the French capital with elements such as the Morris column, cobblestones, and bridges. Guests will be able to immerse themselves in this unique atmosphere while watching live coverage of the sporting events on a giant screen, starting on Friday 26 July.

The recreated world is resolutely Parisian and artistic, paying homage to the city’s history and the major sporting events it has hosted in the past. Sporting posters inspired by the 1920s and 30s will adorn the pillars, a reminder of the last major sporting event held in Paris in 1924.
