A Palace Hotel on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré
Le Bristol Paris is not merely a hotel; it is a Parisian institution. Since 1925, this Oetker Collection palace hotel has occupied a prime stretch of the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, within walking distance of the Élysée Palace, Place de la Concorde, and the Champs-Élysées. It is the Paris that films are made about.
The 190 rooms and suites were redesigned in 2018 by architect Pierre-Yves Rochon, who restored the hotel's Louis XVI and Art Deco heritage while adding contemporary comfort. Each is unique, but all share the same commitment to French craftsmanship — period furniture, hand-woven silks, marble bathrooms, and views over either the courtyard garden or the Parisian rooftops.
Epicure and the Three-Star Kitchen
The hotel is home to Epicure, Chef Éric Frechon's three-Michelin-star restaurant, where the cuisine is a love letter to French gastronomy. The garden-side dining room, with its glass roof and lush greenery, feels less like a hotel restaurant than a private salon in the French countryside. For more casual moments, the 114 Faubourg offers brasserie-style dining, and the rooftop bar — Le Bristol's newest addition — offers the most exclusive sunset views in Paris.
The Art of Living
The hotel's 4,000-square-metre garden — rare in central Paris — is home to Fa-Raon, the hotel's resident cat, who greets guests in the lobby. The spa by La Prairie offers treatments in garden-facing cabins. And the rooftop pool, lined with mahogany and bathed in natural light, is one of the few true swimming pools in a Parisian palace hotel. To stay at Le Bristol is to understand why Paris remains the world's most romantic city.
