Paris Peninsula OMG fantastic !!!

I just checked into Paris Peninsula. No fewer than 3 house phones within eyesight that have free international VOIP. But they have more phones in the dressing makeup room and bath. The bathroom has spa features including spa bathtub that has a button so no one disturbs and knocks on your door and large TV and more remote controls. I just raised the widow awnings via one of two touch pads. Curtains lights etcetera all via touch pad. This is a tech luxury dream. Thank you assistant manger Geoffrey

Unfortunately, the gadgets seem to be providing better service than the staff.

They have the same phone, bathroom set ups at most of the Pen's outside of the U.S. It is not unique to Paris.

A short visit was enough for me to know that I would not stay there. Dark and uninspired decor even in large suites and average service. There are so many places in Paris offering a much more interesting experience!

Thinking more 'emotional burst of joy' meets 'let me tell my FT friends' --> which is the best we can hope for with a luxury hotel I s'pose

Paris Peninsula OMG

The service is beyond great and I have stayed at other Peninsulas around the world. The Paris location equivalent is the equivalency of combining a Tesla with a Rolls Royce or technology and classic luxury. Oh....found even more phones in my room which is not a suite. I am a paying customer who departed another5* that did not provide a room with a proper bath which is a requirement for the Mrs.

PHV has Totos and a bunch of phones. I love technology and would gladly share your excitement but there's gotta be something more to it than controlling shades/lights/DND from the phone bedside and/or a remote, no?

I love Peninsula almost everywhere, but unfortunately the Paris property does not appeal to me. Simply bringing their bathroom design, technology, and room design to Paris is not sufficent to get me to try it anytime soon, especially considering the other options in Paris. The property is also too large.
