Windo Bar, the celestial balcony of the Paris Etoile Hyatt Regency

Impossible to miss its curbs in the Parisian landscape, since 1974. Bordering Porte Maillot, at the doors of the capital's 17th arrondissement, the Paris Etoile Hyatt Regency overlooks the Palais des Congrès. Amongst the highest skyscrapers in France, this 4 star hotel offers more than 1000 rooms. A record! And after a 2 year renovation, its bar on the 34th floor has reopened its doors.

The Paris Etoile Hyatt Regency features a high-end balcony

At 140 meters of altitude, the Windo Bar was redesigned by New York architect George Wong. Low-key, luminous, contemporary and comfortable, the new design draws its inspiration from a private interior garden, and its entrance is highlighted by an imposing sculpture. Its bay windows invite us to discover the most handsome monuments—cocktail in hand, while enjoing the scintillating Eiffel tower.
