Tennis icon Serena Williams recently took to social media to express her disappointment with The Peninsula Hotel in Paris after her family was denied access to a rooftop restaurant, despite it being empty. The 42-year-old athlete publicly called out the establishment, highlighting the incident and sharing her frustration over the treatment she received.
In a post directed at The Peninsula Hotel, Williams shared her experience, stating, “Yikes. @peninsulaparis I’ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in an empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first.” She made sure to include a clear identifier of the hotel in question to avoid any confusion.
Fans of Williams joined in criticizing the hotel for rejecting the 23-time Grand Slam champion, with one commenter questioning, “Who doesn’t make room for a queen?” Despite this incident, Williams has been actively engaged in the Paris Games, participating in various events such as the Olympic torch-lighting handoff alongside other sports legends.
While enjoying the tennis competitions, Williams was also spotted at a match featuring Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz at the Court Philippe-Chatrier. Efforts to obtain a response from The Peninsula Paris regarding the incident have been made, but as of now, no official statement has been provided.
