The Peninsula Paris Rooftop Terrace 2026, the sky-high bar with exceptional views.

We headed up to the 6th floor of the Peninsula Paris to rediscover L'Heure Dorée, and the panorama speaks for itself: the capital unfurls as far as the eye can see, from the Eiffel Tower to the Sacré-Cœur. This rooftop tucked away in the 16th arrondissement, near Avenue Kléber, is back this summer for 2026 with a redesigned setting and a shareable summer menu.

What does the L'Heure Dorée rooftop at the Peninsula Paris have to offer?

Nestled like a hanging garden between sky and city, this rooftop at the palace on Avenue Kléber plays the luminous pause. On the sixth floor, you rise above the buzz, with one of Paris’s most stunning panoramas as your backdrop.

The décor is getting a fresh look for 2026. Roche Bobois–designed furniture is dressed in solar yellow hues, crafted to catch the glow of twilight. On the ambiance front, the Bon Entendeur duo unveils its exclusive playlist, “Belle Époque,” setting the tempo from late afternoon.

Which cocktails and bites to sample at L'Heure Dorée?

The menu is crafted by two-Michelin-starred chef David Bizet and pastry chef Anne Coruble, in a sharing-friendly, seasonal, and playfully nostalgic spirit. The small plates go hand in hand with two signature cocktails, to be discovered as the evening unfolds:

• The Parisian Breeze, bright and exotic, blending coconut, vanilla, lime and pineapple notes, served with a Bellota ham puff pastry brioche and peach-tomato chutney, or a flame-kissed lobster roll with an American-style sauce, confit tomato and tarragon.
  
  
• The Amber Sky, deeper and silkier, leaning into the warmth of amaretto and coffee, echoed by a milk bread bun filled with dulce de leche and Tahitian vanilla, or Anne Coruble’s signature cookie (crunchy cereals, melting gianduja and peanut ice cream).

We love the delicate balance between comforting flavors and a genuine touch of elegance.

How to make the most of the Peninsula Paris rooftop in 2026?

The rooftop at L'Heure Dorée is open daily, weather permitting, from 5:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. (last order at 12:30 a.m.). Small sharing plates are available from 6:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Access is without reservations, with a capacity of 50 seated and 20 standing, so it’s best to arrive early to snag a good spot as the light changes.

The meeting takes place inside The Peninsula Paris, 19 Avenue Kléber in the 16th arrondissement, just steps from Place de l'Étoile and the Trocadéro. All the details and the menu are available on the Peninsula’s official site. Worth noting, the venue is accessible to guests with reduced mobility.

Our take? It’s a beautiful find for anyone after a sunset with feet on the rooftops of Paris, whether with a loved one, friends, or for a chic afterwork (casual chic attire appreciated). People come here for the view and the moment suspended in time more than for a quick bite.

Craving a longer climb? We’re also popping by to try the restaurant l'Oiseau Blanc, the fine-dining tables that share the same roof.
