A Sunkissed breath of authenticity: Canopy by Hilton Paris Trocadéro

September 2, 2022

Nestled in Paris amongst the spirited streets of Trocadero, Canopy by Hilton Trocadéro seeks to reflect the vibrant surroundings of its local neighbourhood – and it does exactly that.

Part of the vibe 

When staying at this hotel, you’re never far from either the hustle of authentic Parisian culture or the quiet relaxation of French romance. Situated a stone’s throw from the excitement of the Jardins du Trocadéro, I was in the hue of life of the Trocadéro neighbourhood. In the other direction, the hotel is close to the Place du Mexico where a more peaceful setting can be enjoyed away from the crowds of tourists. It was this enchanting duality of the Canopy by Hilton Paris Trocadéro that left me feeling as if I was a local resident for the duration of my stay.

this for inspo!

Excellence in Design

Making its French debut, Hilton’s Canopy Hotel collection utilized the expert architect Jean- Philippe Nuel to cultivate the design of the Trocadéro hotel. Boasting 7 floors, the hotel blends luxurious French aesthetics with Art Deco elements to produce breathtaking interior and exterior designs. On entry, I immediately felt the warmth created by the combination of orange and red colouring which are complimented by attractive lighting designs.

I had arrived at a French hotel, yet I felt at home.

 

A personal touch

Not only was I struck by the Trocadéro’s beauty, but amongst the spacious, open-plan lobby lies a transfer refuge where guests can relax and use facilities before and after checkout.

When checking in I was yet to realize, that the personalised experience was only just getting started. After the extremely hospitable welcome from the Hilton staff, it was time to find my room.

Inside my room, an authentic, wooden oak finish provided a warming touch to the homely atmosphere of the interior design. The modern feel of my bedroom created a safe yet vibrant feel and I instantly knew that a good night’s sleep was not far away. Of the hotel’s 123 rooms, just a quarter offer brilliant views of the Eiffel tower and from my balcony, I had these enchanting sights.

The next morning, I had a delicious waffle delivered to my room for breakfast and I enjoyed eating it in the serenity of the bedroom before I started the day. The Trocadéro offers breakfast included for your stay and the mouth-watering a la carte options make sure no guests leave the hotel with empty stomachs.

Local cuisine in the open air

To satisfy an appetite, the L’Espirit Nouveau restaurant within the hotel is an elegant dining location to experience a range of local dishes and wines – but a hidden gem upstairs steals the show…

Hotel terraces often have a lot, but the rooftop terrace at the Canopy by Hilton Paris Trocadéro had it all. With a capacity of 90 guests, the terrace offered a fresh, outdoor space to enjoy bites and cocktails while still under the illumination of the Eiffel Tower. Maintaining the aesthetic design of the rest of the hotel, the terrace did not compromise on comfort.

Offering a combination of cosy deckchairs and more formal high tables, the Trocadéro’s

terrace is well suited to any occasion.

Here, I enjoyed blends of mint and tropical fruit cocktails as I soaked up the sun and planned the next day’s adventure. I also ate from a menu of classic French cuisine and home favourites, where all ingredients are supplied locally. These dishes were incredibly authentic and opened a doorway into the flavours of local culture via my tastebuds.

A goodbye (for now…)

When checking out of the Canopy by Hilton Paris Trocadéro, it felt like saying goodbye to a friend. This hotel is bursting with character and offers a warm refuge to stay in the centre of a colourful French community – I look forward to my next visit.

Surrey Spice Trail: 5 stops. 5 moods. 1 delicious + local adventure. 🌶️ 

The Surrey Spice Trail is a curated collection of restaurants that highlight the bold, diverse, and evolving food culture in Surrey.

1️⃣ @GupshupSocialLounge is the fun extrovert. Loud, playful, and full of Indo-fusion snacks.

2️⃣ @CloveTheArtOfDining is the artistic perfectionist. French-plated finesse, global flavours, and standout cocktails.

3️⃣ @MaharajaHospitality is timeless glam. Elevated North Indian classics, warm lighting, and hotel-lobby elegance.

4️⃣ @TokyoMithaiwala.ca is the soft girl with an edge. Desi-style high tea, mithai parfaits, and a holiday thandai.

5️⃣ @64_Sweets is the reliable one. No-fuss, all flavour, and always hits the spot.

Bonus 6️⃣ @WeAreCivicHotel is the calm after the spice. This is where I stayed, unwound, and watched the city glow from floor-to-ceiling windows.

I love how the Surrey Spice Trail is all about eating local, supporting independent kitchens, and exploring everything from fusion street food to elegant fine dining.

Save this for your next food crawl and tag your crew to plan it with you.

Civic called and said stay elevated.
A weekend @WeAreCivicHotel, Autograph Collection gave luxury, location, and a little main character energy. Between the floor-to-ceiling windows, brunch in bed, and front-row views of the @letshearitbc festival, this wasn’t just a stay—it was a whole vibe. Bonus points for enough hangers, a supportive desk chair (my back said thank you), and room service that actually slaps. Surrey, I see you.

Adding ‘cake decorator’ to my resume after this. 🎂👩‍🍳 Had the sweetest time at @thesweetspot.xxo’s cake decorating class at Yew Street Food Hall—and let me tell you, my cake got a serious glow-up! ✨ Chef Amanda is a total pro—so patient, so creative, and her cakes? Next level. If you’re in Kamloops and need custom cakes or sugar cookies, she’s your go-to. 🍰💖

Oh, and while I was there, I finally tried Taco Alley at @yewstreetfoodhall—taco ‘bout a masterpiece. 🌮🔥

Finally, a spot in Kamloops that gets it.🔥 @maaza.kitchen 

I was invited to the grand opening of Maaza Indian Kitchen & Bar last weekend, and let’s just say—this place understood the assignment. The bold North Indian flavors, the Indo-Chinese heat, and the vibe? All on point.

The food was a full experience. The Veggie Manchurian was crispy, saucy, and packed with flavor. The Chilli Chicken brought the perfect kick, and the Chicken Kebabs were smoky, juicy, and unreal. But the real scene-stealer? The Lamb Sizzler Platter—steaming, sizzling, and demanding all the attention.🔥

And the best part? Maaza is about to become even more of a vibe with live music on Saturdays. Kamloops, we needed this.
