Last night I attended a party for the opening of the French office of Linkedin, the business networking site, that you probably all know. I went there because I like the Linkedin people, but also because I wanted to see the famous Shangri-La hotel in Paris, where the event took place. The hotel opened last December and it is located in the former house of Prince Roland Bonaparte (Napoleon Bonaparte's grandnephew). Needless to say, the place is absolutely stunning! Did I mention it also has a breathtaking view on the Eiffel Tower?!
I would love to see this place. The site makes it look amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt IS amazing Buzzgirl!
ReplyDeleteOh Eric...you and your 'boring' life.
ReplyDeleteAnother day, another party huh?!!

This is a great shot, Eric—complete with chic (and no doubt well-heeled) guests. You probably have to pass some kind of fashion test before they let you stay there. Too bad—I'd love to be let inside, even for a few minutes! :~}
ReplyDeleteFashion test? No problem. Didn't you see yesterday's post?
ReplyDelete(Sorry, mon ami, I couldn't resist.)
Did you know that if you subscribe to Linkedin, it gives them access to your database? When I discovered this I unsubscribed.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was Holly Golightly in this picture. (Or at least, an Audrey Hepburn copy.)
ReplyDeleteI always knew Shangri-La was in Paris. This hotel does look quite elegant, but I'm not surprised. Jeff..."fashion test.":-) Wren, I agree with you. I immediately thought of Audrey, too.
ReplyDeleteEric, I hope you photographed the breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, and that we can see it in a post someday.
ReplyDeleteStill enjoying all your photos and comments each day.
A wonderfully elegant spot for a PDP Pajama Party!!!
ReplyDeleteJust clicked on to the hotel website, selected the duplex terrace suite with fabulous views of ET (the tower not the man- you can have too much of a good thing you know). Venue for this year's picnic/ pyjama party sorted.
ReplyDeleteAll that needs to be done now is to go out and buy a winning lottery ticket.
wow... it sounds like a wonderful place...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely party! (And to see both Shangri-La and the Eiffel Tower in one night!! *Sigh*) Sounds like you had an amazing time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place complete with beautiful people! Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteDamn it Beau Gosse! You mentioned the 'P' word! Got into awful trouble yesterday! I am saying absolutely nothing!

Eric,
ReplyDeleteLinkedin is a super site for professionals. If you are interested, watch out for their IPO. It's due to come out sometime this year. Do your own research, it might be something to invest in.
