The Jewel of the Oetker Collection
Since 1925, Hôtel Le Bristol Paris has been celebrated for its definition of luxury and service of the highest order. Created in the grand Parisian style, Le Bristol was the first hotel in France to receive the title of “palace”, and was voted Best Hotel in the World by the Gallivanter’s Guide. In 2018, Le Bristol not only made the Condé Nast Traveller’s Gold List, but it was also singled out in the Editors’ Picks. It also won first place in Fordor’s Best awards, beating out all nine other Palace Hotels in Paris.
Located at 112 rue du Faubourg Sainthonoré, in close proximity to the Avenue des Champs-élysées, and in the heart of the fashion, design, and art district, Le Bristol is a palace hotel of unparalleled elegance.
Le Bristol defines luxury by embracing the new, the rare, and the wonderful. Created with true craftsmanship, its 190 spacious rooms and suites are appointed in authentic 18th-century style with every conceivable modern comfort. The emphasis is very much on tradition, rather than on being contemporary chic, made clear by the old-style door keys rather than modern key cards.
Behind the precious fabrics, works of art, and splendid furniture, this palace in the heart of Paris also offers its guest the opportunity to help the greater good. Each room has a ‘Giving Bag’ which guests are encouraged to use in donating clothes, bags, books or shoes. The Red Cross are sent any donated tights which they turn into bandages. The hotel is also a patron of many charities including ‘Imagine for Margo’, an organisation dedicated to fighting childhood cancer.
Spacious and light, all the rooms and suites display a multitude of refined details, from the entranceway to the bathroom. Measuring more than 40 m², the rooms at Le Bristol are among the most spacious in Paris. Under high ceilings with tall windows, the rooms are flooded with daylight. The detailed inlay of antique rosewood furniture, and the precise rendering of characters in an antique engraving, speak of attention to detail as much as it does to exceptional craftsmanship. When evening falls, heavy silk curtains create an intimate atmosphere for the gentlest invitation to sleep.
The Grand Suites, ranging from the 55 m² Junior Suites to the 250 m² Prestige Elysée Suites, create the perfect balance between lavishness and homeliness. Each suite is a luxurious setting that typifies Parisian elegance. Rooms are generous yet intimate, spacious yet warm. Designed like real apartments, coupled with exceptional service, the suites are guaranteed to make even the most seasoned of travellers feel right at home.
The Signature Suites, with the Royal Suites being nothing less than 300 m² luxury apartments, are fit for royalty as it captures the epitome of Parisian luxury, with delicate fabrics and refined furniture that create an atmosphere that balances opulence and warmth. Views from the ornate ironwork balconies, which overlook the prestigious Rue du Faubourg Sainthonoré, are as romantic as they are unique in Paris.
Adorned with Louis XV and Louis Xviperiod furniture, antique prints, and precious silks, these apartments evoke the refinement of a private 18th-century town house. In addition to sitting rooms decorated with antique woodwork by Féau and Canovas damask linens, the Royal Suites include a dining area that accommodates up to 12 guests to enjoy Chef Eric Frechon’s gastronomic cuisine. The bathroom, all in light Carrara marble with a separate shower and twin basins, conceals the delightful secret of a private steam room.
Le Bristol Paris is a leading bastion of gastronomy, holding no less than four Michelin stars. The jewel in the hotel’s crown is Epicure, the three-michelin star restaurant overseen by the long serving Chef Eric Frechon. It is one of the best restaurants in the world, and a favourite of the Paris elite. Epicure is a temple of gastronomy with Chef Eric Frechon as its guru, who matches terroir and handpicked ingredients with astonishing effect.
