Hôtel Le Bristol Review

The historic Bristol ranks among Paris's most exclusive hotels and has numerous accolades to prove it—and it's even hit the big screen, featured in Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. Some of the spacious and elegant rooms have authentic Louis XV and Louis XVI furniture, embroidered silk fabrics, and marble bathrooms; others have a more relaxed classical 19th-century style. The public salons are stocked with old-master paintings and sculptures, sumptuous carpets and tapestries, gilded chandeliers, and fine antique furnishings. The newly redecorated haute cuisine Epicure restaurant run by 3-star Michelin chef Eric Frechon has a beautiful outdoor courtyard terrace to enjoy in warmer weather. A gourmet brasserie de luxe with contemporary floral décor offers a chic alternative. Sip an after-hours martini in the sophisticated but extremely friendly Le Jardin Français lobby bar that buzzes with a discreet wealthy crowd. Exclusive Swiss La Prairie products are featured in the stunning spa opened in 2011 with a hair salon, 8 treatment rooms (including couple's cabins), and children's area. Book a generously-sized suite for a special occasion and the ultimate 5-star luxury experience is guaranteed.
