Starting Friday, June 28, visitors to the Palace will find themselves immersed in a romantic Parisian atmosphere right in the heart of the hotel’s bustling lobby. This central area will transform into an authentic fan zone, complete with iconic French elements such as the Morris column, cobblestones, and bridges, evoking the landmarks of Paris. Guests can enjoy this unique setting while watching live coverage of the sporting events on a giant screen, beginning Friday, July 26.
The design pays homage to Paris with a resolutely artistic touch, reflecting the city’s rich history and its legacy of hosting major sporting events. Vintage-inspired posters from the 1920s and 30s will decorate the pillars, a nod to the significant sporting event held in Paris in 1924.
The lobby’s transformation will conclude on Sunday, August 11, when it will return to its original state, marking the end of this special experience.
