Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Le Bristol

112 rue du Faubourg St-Honoré, Paris, Île-de-France, 75008, France Fodor's Choice

The historic Bristol ranks among Paris's most exclusive hotels and has numerous accolades to prove it, as does its Michelin-starred restaurant. 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 19th-century style. The public salons are stocked with old-master paintings and sculptures, sumptuous Oriental carpets and tapestries, gilded chandeliers, and fine antiques. The award-winning Épicure—one of Paris's great hotel restaurants—has a beautiful outdoor courtyard terrace to enjoy in warmer weather. Exclusive Swiss La Prairie products are used in the eight treatment rooms of the stunning spa, featuring private outdoor terraces and gourmet snacks.
