Serena Williams faced a notable incident at the Peninsula Paris, where she was reportedly turned away due to the hotel's existing reservations. The Peninsula Paris addressed the situation on social media, explaining that their rooftop bar was fully booked and that the only unoccupied tables were part of their gourmet restaurant, L’Oiseau Blanc, which was also fully reserved.
The hotel stated, "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."
