SHANGRI-LA
To buy Paris mansion, convert into hotel

(AFX) - Shangri-La Asia is spending 92 mln euros, or 865.63 mln hkd to buy a Paris mansion and convert it into a hotel, the Standard reported, citing Shangri-La.

The report said the 110-year old building, within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower, was designed and owned by Prince Roland Bonaparte, a grand nephew of French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte.

Shangri-La plans to complete the conversion by late 2008, making it the French capital's first luxury hotel fully owned and operated by an Asian hotel group, the report said.

The seven-story building will include 140 deluxe guestrooms and suites ranging in size from 40 to 160 square meters.
