Hotel Le Bristol Paris

The most well-mannered of the Paris grand hotels is the Bristol, named after an English lord and a bishop. It is also by far the most reserved. Rather appropriately, it's where Newland Archer stays in that final, heartbreaking scene in Wharton's Age of Innocence, when he goes to see Madame Olenska and, at the last minute, holds back. There is something about the Bristol that inspires romance and restraint.

The Bristol is creamy Art Deco on the outside, and decadent 18th century within. Go 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.

Filled with soft hues, refined woodwork and sumptuous fabrics, the spacious rooms and suites are further enhanced by 18th century furniture and original paintings, combined with ultra modern comfort such as air conditioning and high speed Internet connection. The terraces that adjoin some of the rooms and suites overlook the garden or other views of the most amazing sights of Paris. Generous white Carrara marble bathrooms with separate showers.

The Bristol’s restaurant, rated two Michelin stars, will allow you to discover Eric Frechon’s exceptional and innovative food, an unforgettable dining experience in one of the two elegant surroundings: the “Winter Restaurant” features the warmth of oak woodwork, while the “Summer Restaurant” faces the splendid French garden. The lobby bar proposes informal lunches and dinners, as well as afternoon tea; from May to September the clientele is served in the garden. Made of teak and glass, the swimming pool opens onto a vast solarium taking in all of Paris. A sauna, a fitness center equipped with the most updated machines, the Anne Sémonin spa and its personalized natural skin-care therapy are all offered by the hotel to complete its dedication to your well-being. Five air-conditioned conference rooms, overlooking exquisite French gardens, offer bilingual staff and are equipped with computer and fax facilities.
