Opened in 1925 in an eighteenth-century mansion, Le Bristol was one of the first Paris houses to receive the Palace distinction. It stands at 112 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, a short walk from the Élysée and the fashion houses.
Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré
The twelve-hundred-square-metre French garden, invisible from the street, is the largest of any Paris palace. The teak-lined sixth-floor pool looks over the rooftops and the basilica of Montmartre. Fa-Raon, the white and blue cat, is part of the staff.
Arriving by car
The Faubourg-Saint-Honoré is narrow and often blocked by ministry traffic. The valet takes over at the main entrance; for a group arrival or a lot of luggage, it is better to warn the concierge desk and agree on the exact drop-off time.
