Serena Williams enjoyed a family day out with her daughter Olympia at the Jumping Individual Final on day eleven of the Olympic Games on Tuesday The former tennis champion, 42, sported a pair of chunky sunglasses and styled her blonde locks into loose curls The outing comes after Serena called out a five-star hotel in Paris for denying her family access to a rooftop restaurant despite it being completely empty. 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. 'Yikes,' Serena wrote.
'@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.' Serena also shared a snap of the sign on the hotel, so that her followers could know which establishment she was talking about.
The Peninsula Hotel later expressed regret for turning down Serena, sharing on X: 'Dear 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'Oiseau Blanc, which was fully reserved.
'We have always been honored to welcome you and will always be to welcome you again. The Peninsula Paris.' Serena's fans were quick to rip the hotel for rejecting the tennis legend as one X user asked: 'How does one get denied when they are Serena Williams.
