A luxury Parisian hotel was forced to apologize to Serena Williams and her family after the retired American tennis player was reportedly denied entry to the hotel\u2019s rooftop restaurant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYikes @peninsulaparis I\u2019ve been denied access to rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first,\u201d Williams wrote on X<\/a> Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams, 42, has been in Paris with her husband Alexis Ohanian, and their two daughters Olympia, 6, and Adira, 10 months, since the start of the 2024 Olympics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four-time Olympic gold medalist was involved in this year\u2019s Olympic torch relay as the torch made its way from the Seine to the Olympic Cauldron. During her segment, she was joined by Rafael Nadal, Carl Lewis, and Nadia Com\u0103neci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following more than a week of games, Williams attempted to dine at the rooftop restaurant of the Peninsula Paris, a five-star hotel whose restaurant offers a view of the Eiffel Tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when she arrived, Williams claimed she and her family were denied entry despite what she called an \u201cempty restaurant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As many fans reached out to show their support, so did the Peninsula Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDear 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\u2019Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved,\u201d the hotel\u2019s response<\/a> read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have always been honored to welcome you and will always be to welcome you again,\u201d they concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Williams has yet to reply, many are unsure how to take the hotel\u2019s response. Some insisted \u201cyou make a table for her!\u201d while others believed \u201cshe owes your team the apology.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
