A member of staff at a five-star Paris hotel reported claimed that Serena Williams was 'unrecognisable', after the tennis star claimed she and her kids were refused entry to a rooftop restaurant.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner took to X to publicly complain about the treatment she received at The Peninsula Hotel on Monday, sharing her annoyance at the way in which her visit went down.

Sharing a snap of the hotel, she wrote alongside it: 'Yikes. @peninsulaparis I've been denied access to rooftop to eat in a empty restaurant of nicer places but never with my kids. Always a first.'


The hotel hit back in a post on X, claiming that the only unoccupied tables she saw belonged to their gourmet restaurant, L'Oiseau Blanc, which they said was fully booked.

A member of staff at the hotel's rooftop restaurant, Maxime Mannevy, has reportedly claimed that Williams looked 'unrecognisable', according to her colleague who was working at the time.
