A five-star Paris hotel recently made headlines after denying access to its rooftop bar to tennis legend Serena Williams. The incident occurred when Williams, accompanied by another woman and a stroller, attempted to dine at the hotel's rooftop restaurant. A staff member, who reportedly did not recognize Williams, informed her that all tables were reserved and advised her to wait in the bar area until a table became available.
Williams took to social media to express her disappointment, questioning the hotel's decision to deny her entry, especially with her children in tow. The hotel later clarified that the rooftop bar was fully booked, and the unoccupied tables belonged to their gourmet restaurant, which was also fully reserved.
