Take in the spectacular views from the indooor rooftop pool.
Pure joie de vivre in the heart of Paris.
50 Best, September 2024Don’t miss the trompe l’oeil–decorated swimming pool on the sixth floor, and make sure to pause to pet Socrate, Le Bristol’s most important permanent resident: its in-house cat.
Robb Report, July 2024Like a frosted cake, Le Bristol is creamy Art Deco on the outside, and decadent 18th-century within. It’s particularly fine in spring, when the window boxes of geraniums are in bloom and the large garden is redolent with the smell of magnolia. The pool is one of the few in Paris, and though small, it is beautiful, enclosed in glass and bathed in Parisian sunlight.
Guide Michelin, April 2024From quiet morning coffees in the garden to unforgettable Michelin-starred meals, a stay at Le Bristol is as much a part of the Paris experience as the city itself.
Conde Nast Traveller (UK), December 2019Typifying Parisian elegance, the suites at Le Bristol Paris are generous in both size and opulence... Each of these 18th-century townhouse apartments overlooks the hotels sprawling garden or the flower-filled interior courtyard.
Elite Traveler, April 2018The historic Bristol ranks among Paris's most exclusive hotels and has numerous accolades to prove it... The public salons are stocked with old-master paintings and sculptures, sumptuous Oriental carpets and tapestries, gilded chandeliers, and fine antiques.
Fodor's, April 2017Perhaps the mother of all luxury hotels, Le Bristol has quite the pedigree: The 19th-century building, with its antique furniture, Gobelins and Lille tapestries, and Old Master paintings, has played host to the likes of Grace Kelly and Orson Welles (and scores of discerning Traveler readers, of course).
Condé Nast Traveler (US), December 2016Le Bristol is both iconic and utterly defined by its destination. It is elegant and refined and very French, yet laidback in that uniquely Parisian way. And the service is the best in the city.
