Avenue Kléber was designed as part of Baron Haussmann's rebuilding plan for Paris, originally named l'avenue du Roi de Rome in tribute to Napoleon I's son.

The 16th arrondissement is one of Paris's most exclusive residential and commercial areas. The hotel's location on avenue Kléber places guests near major Parisian landmarks and the city's cultural institutions.
The Peninsula Paris building was designed by architect Armand Sibien, with construction beginning in 1906 and opening in December 1908 as the Hotel Majestic.
