This week Serena Williams called out the Peninsula luxury hotel in Paris after they refused to seat her in their 'empty' restaurant [click here if you missed that].
Now the Peninsula is claiming the host on duty at the time did not recognize the tennis icon...
From Variety
A staffer at the Peninsula’s rooftop restaurant, Maxime Mannevy, told Variety that Williams showed up to the premises with another woman and a stroller and looked “unrecognizable.”
“When she came there were only two tables available and they had been reserved by clients of the hotel,” said Mannevy, who shares that she was not working when Williams visited the restaurant. “My colleague didn’t recognize her and feels terrible, but he told her what he would have told any other client, which is to wait downstairs in the bar for a table to become available. That was absolutely nothing personal.”
Representatives for Williams were not immediately available for comment.
