George Gershwin, An American in Paris, The new Peninsula Hotel - where he wrote it, is now yours to stay at..


The Peninsula  Hotel is a painstaking renovation of the old Hotel Majestic, a Belle Epoque beauty that opened in 1908 (George Gershwin stayed for several weeks while composing An American in Paris ).

Weeks after opening, The Peninsula is already having a major impact on the world’s expectations of what a Paris luxury hotel could or should be. And the 16th-arrondissement hotel is especially admired locally as one of the most extravagant examples of historic preservation the city has seen in many years–a quarry in the Loire was reopened to supply the fish-tail slates for the hotel’s roof, the wood paneling in the bar was restored by a team of ebenistes who usually work in museums.

All in All, its a WOW Hotel..................
