Celine Dion’s Paris residency has just finished its sold-out first run, and new data shows the legendary singer
didn’t just bring the hits to the city — she brought big business, too.
According to Billboard, the first leg of the superstar singer’s residency, titled Celine Dion Paris, wrapped with more than $125 million in tickets sold across her 16 shows in September and October. Dion sold out every date of her residency at Plenitude Arena in Paris, which marked her return to the stage after a much-publicized battle with Stiff Person Syndrome in 2022. Over the five weeks, reps for the singer say more than 500,000 tickets were sold — more than any artist in the history of the arena.
But it wasn’t just ticket sales that saw a boon. Booking website Hotels.com says it saw a 49% increase in searches for accommodations in Paris corresponding to Dion’s tour dates, compared to the same time last year. Searches from Dion’s native Canada were up 20%, followed by searches from the U.S., which increased 15% over 2025.
Marriott, meantime, welcomed Dion fans to the city with a number of activations and special stays. While the hotel chain didn’t reveal exact numbers, they say they also saw a surge in interest for their Paris properties. “[Dion’s] residency, combined with our Marriott Bonvoy partnership, inspired many members to take an extra trip to Paris this year,” says Peggy Roe, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Marriott International. “We had the pleasure of delighting our customers with access to their passions, and our hotels benefited, too.”
As the official hotel partner of Celine Dion Paris, Marriott Bonvoy allowed members to bid or redeem points for everything from concert tickets to Dion-themed hotel stays in the city. Marriott property Le Meridien Paris Arc de Triomphe, for example, offered a “Paris, I’m Ready” suite, inspired by Dion’s Eiffel Tower video announcing the show. The suite paid homage to the singer and the city, with Instagram-worthy photo walls, concert artwork, and even a microphone and speaker for a pre- or post-show karaoke session.
Part backstage dressing room and part Parisian sanctuary, Marriott says the room is “the ultimate pre-show retreat,” with guests able to “immerse themselves in a world of elegance, music and Parisian sophistication before stepping out into one of the city’s most exciting cultural moments.” It’s the ideal space for a girls night out (or fans night out) experience to top off your Celine-inspired stay.
CELINE-INSPIRED STAY
Paris, I'm Ready Suite
You can book the “Paris, I’m Ready” suite at the Le Meridien Paris Arc de Triomphe online now with prices starting from €659. This is a limited-time activation tied to Dion’s string of shows, so we recommend booking ahead to ensure availability.
Marriott also offers rooms at two properties directly across from Plenitude Arena if you’re looking to book a place to stay when Dion returns next year. The singer has confirmed an additional 10 dates scheduled for 2027, beginning in May (find tickets here).
EDITOR'S PICK
Renaissance Paris La Defense Hotel
The Renaissance Paris La Defense is just steps from the arena, but the modern, industrial-style property offers a calming, spacious reprieve from the crowds and noise below. And if you do want to be closer to the action, the outdoor courtyard is filled with performers and buskers belting Dion songs on concert nights.
ALSO CONSIDER
citizenM Paris La Defense
The citizenM Paris La Defense, meantime, offers a colorful and eclectic stay, whether you’re desiring work or play. Marriott’s citizenM brand is known for their art-filled spaces that encourage communal hangs and co-working. Modern touches abound like cozy nooks with plenty of outlets and lush indoor-outdoor spaces for drinks and networking. The citizenM Paris La Defense is just a few blocks away from Plenitude Arena, with metro and train lines to the city just minutes away.
Marriott had rolled out its popular 1-Point Drop moments for Dion’s first run of shows, allowing Bonvoy Members to bid on packages with just one point. Similar to say, a coveted sneaker release, the 1-Point Drop experiences were available on a first-come, first-served basis, to the first Bonvoy members to claim them after they were released online. Marriott has not yet revealed whether more 1-Point Drops will be available for Dion’s new string of concert dates.
For now, members can bid on “Marriott Bonvoy Moments” with their points for premium tickets to see the singer next year, along with stays at the hotel chain’s portfolio of properties across Paris. Current packages start at just 20,000 Bonvoy points as of this writing.
A sample package right now includes a pair of “Salon Premium” tickets to see Dion in May with hospitality access and reserved first-level seating, plus a one-night stay at Renaissance Paris Nobel Tour Eiffel Hotel, located in the city’s 16th Arrondissement near the Eiffel Tower. Similar to any auction, Bonvoy members can bid on the experiences using their points (rather than cash) and the highest bidder at the close of the auction wins the package.
Marriott Bonvoy is free to join, and the hotel loyalty program lets you earn points on Uber rides, Starbucks purchases and everyday dining, in addition to hotel stays.
As for the singer herself? Dion spent her time in Paris staying at the Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris in the city’s eighth arrondissement, drawing crowds of onlookers each night as she departed for her shows.
DION-APPROVED STAY
Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris
In addition to Dion, the tony hotel has welcomed A-listers from Michael Jackson to Madonna over the years. The Royal Monceau is beloved for being a peaceful sanctuary in the heart of the action without skimping on all the luxury amenities and touches you’d expect from a five-star stay. The hotel is also a hub for Paris’ art and fashion scene, with Philippe Starck-designed interiors and an in-house art gallery that’s become a destination for collectors and visitors alike.
Le Royal Monceau is set to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2028. After closing for renovations in 2008, the property reopened under the Raffles brand in October 2010.
Dion, meantime, was recently spotted back in her adopted hometown of Las Vegas this month, attending one of Metallica’s shows at the Sphere.
“This beautiful adventure finishes tonight,” Dion said at her last performance in Paris for 2026. “But we’ll meet again next May. In the meantime, believe in yourselves and hold on to your dreams.”
