The Peninsula Paris

If you are looking for a date with French history, The Peninsula Paris is the place to be. The hotel is housed in a 153-year-old building that first shot to fame as the Palais de Castille to exiled Queen Isabella of Spain in 1868. It was later converted into an extravagant hotel, Hotel Majestic, in 1908. The building also served as a military hospital during World War I, housed the Ministry of Defense during World War II, and was then converted into the German Military High Command in France at the time of occupation. Afterwards, it served as the first UNESCO headquarters in 1946. It was reopened in its present avatar as the Peninsula Paris in 2014. Every bit of this sprawling building that houses 200 rooms and 34 suites carries a stamp of key historic events.
