JUST IN: Serena Williams SHAMES Paris Restaurant for chasing away her and her kids away during 2024 Olympics – and the five-star hotel replies: “You are not…” See more
Serena Williams has called out a luxury hotel in Paris for allegedly denying entry to her and her children. The tennis legend has been in the French capital since late July, participating at the Olympics’ opening ceremony as a torch bearer and taking in all the games with her family.
On Monday evening, Williams took to Twitter to recount an anecdote that seemingly happened at the Peninsula hotel in Paris.
Serena Williams has called out a five-star hotel in Paris for denying her family access to a rooftop restaurant despite it being completely empty.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner took to X to publicly complain about the treatment she received at The Peninsula Hotel on Monday, sharing her annoyance at the way in which her visit went down.
Yikes,’ Williams wrote. ‘@peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first.’
Williams also shared a snap of the sign on the hotel, so that her followers could know which establishment she was talking about.
The Peninsula Hotel later expressed regret for turning down Williams, sharing on X: ‘Dear Mrs. Williams, Please accept our deepest apologies for the disappointment you encountered tonight.
Unfortunately, our rooftop bar was indeed fully booked and the only unoccupied tables you saw belonged to our gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved.
‘We have always been honored to welcome you and will always be to welcome you again. The Peninsula Paris.’
Williams’ fans were quick to rip the hotel for rejecting the tennis legend as one X user asked: ‘How does one get denied when they are Serena Williams…… lol’
Glad you didn’t have to waste money there,’ another fan pointed out.
‘You’re better off not going, their food is subpar — I’ve unfortunately had to pay for it quite a few times,’ someone else said.
Williams has attended several Olympic disciplines with her six-year-old daughter, Olympia, and her family in Paris.
She was also among several high-profile names to be part of the Games’ opening ceremony on July 26.
