Le Bristol Paris

Paris' elegant, luxurious palace
VERIFIED LUXURY
The storied Le Bristol Paris has a long and illustrious past. Situated in the heart of Paris’ fashion district on Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Le Bristol became a dedicated hotel in 1925 and served as the American embassy during World War II. Since its opening, the Parisian hotel counts legends such as Charlie Chaplin, Rita Hayworth, Josephine Baker and Sophia Loren as its guests.

But Le Bristol also continues to evolve by adding one-of-a-kind amenities. Fine-dining restaurant Epicure and brasserie 114 Faubourg draw crowds. Spa Le Bristol by La Prairie features eight treatment rooms across three floors. A yacht-like pool affords views of the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre and le Sacré-Coeur. Resident cat Socrate charms guests. And it has some silver-screen sparkle — its luxurious Panoramic Suite served as a backdrop for Woody Allen’s 2011 film Midnight in Paris

Our Inspector's Highlights
  • Situated on the right bank of the River Seine in the 8th arrondissement, Le Bristol is in one of Paris’ most well-known districts thanks to the Arc de Triomphe, Grand Palais and Champs-Élysées. The Paris hotel also has some very esteemed neighbors. Élysée Palace, the French president’s official residence; the Embassy of the United Kingdom; as well as the residences of both the Canadian and American ambassadors to France, all are found along Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
  • Each luxurious accommodation is spacious, especially by Parisian standards. At 325 square feet, even the lowest category Superior Room offers plenty of space.
  • The jewel in the crown of Le Bristol’s restaurants is Epicure, a gastronomic delight. Heralded chef Arnaud Faye puts modern touches on French classics using seasonally harvested, plant-based ingredients.
  • Escape the buzz of the streets in the beautiful tucked-away English-style garden courtyard. The 13,000-square-foot green oasis — the largest palace garden in Paris — features flowers and blossoming orange trees.
  • Head to the sixth floor for the distinctive pool designed by architect Ceasar Pinnau in the 1980s. Surrounded by a wood deck, the indoor pool resembles a 1920s luxury yacht cruising along the Côte d’Azur with a mural of passengers milling around the ship’s bow in the front with Cap d’Antibes and sister property Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in the distance. A painted sail covers the ceiling.

The Rooms
  • Le Bristol’s 190 rooms and suites are classically French with Louis XV- or Louis XVI-style furniture.
  • All of the mirrors, prints and paintings seen throughout are originals, which contribute to the home-like atmosphere of the luxury hotel.
  • The colorful fabrics created by luxury brands such as Manuel Canovas, Pierre Frey, Rubelli, Nobilis and Bernard Thorp punctuate the neutral-colored walls and carpets.
  • Large windows not only provide views of the courtyard or the famed Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, but also allow a maximum amount of sunlight, giving each room a bright and open feeling.
  • Classic, white-marble bathrooms feature a separate tub and shower, double sinks and Hermès toiletries.
The Restaurants
  • Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, fine-dining Epicure is a gastronomic delight that exudes a comfortable elegance with bay windows that open up to the lovely French-style garden.
  • 114 Faubourg is a popular local destination. This two-story dahlia-filled brasserie offers a fun and inviting atmosphere combined with contemporary French food that you can watch being made in the first-floor open kitchen.
  • Café Antonia is a more casual alternative to the other restaurants in the Paris hotel. A variety of starters, entrées, drinks and even tea time can be enjoyed at the café or in the 13,000-square-foot renovated garden during summer days.
  • Mingle with a stylish crowd at Le Bar du Bristol Thursday through Saturday evenings, when a DJ spins in the glamorous hot spot.
