The Bristol remains a bastion of understated parisian chic, where impeccable service and French elegance meet old world pedigree. The hotel founder, Hippolyte Jamet, had acquired the building in the 1920’s from the Castellane family, arbiters of taste in pre-war Paris. To this day the hotel retains the charm of a grand private residence. In fact the Bristol hotel is part of a portfolio of unique properties, including the legendary Eden Roc at the Cap d’Antibes.
Recently renovated, the Bristol boasts some of the most spacious accommodation in Paris, including top floor suites with spectacular terraces overlooking the summer garden. Located at the heart of the Faubourg St-Honoré district, where power meets glamour, the hotel is a stone throw from the presidential Elysée palace, and a short walk from the leading art galleries and the great names of French fashion.
The spacious yet discreet bar is favoured by the who’s who of French business and fashion. Ask Pascal Havel, the head barman, for a Potocki cocktail “Façon Bristol”.
