With the Roland-Garros French Open in full swing (pun intended), Paris is buzzing with the energy of world-class tennis, high fashion, and unrivalled luxury stays.

Against this backdrop, an exclusive collaboration between Lacoste — one of France’s most iconic fashion houses — and Shangri-La Paris has opened. The collaboration is levelling up the designer cafe trend tenfold.

In France, the word "palace" doesn't necessarily refer to a castle or a grand residence, but carries significant weight in the world of hospitality. The prestigious "Palace" designation, granted by Atout France, the national tourism agency, is reserved for an elite selection of five-star hotels that set the benchmark for unparalleled luxury and exceptional service.
