Classic Paris Hotel
By: Amanda
Reviewed on: 24 Oct 2017
Le Bristol is a classic hotel in Paris located near great shopping. We enjoyed the breakfast every morning looking out into their beautiful courtyard. It was raining in Paris during our stay so unfortunately we were unable to sit in the courtyard. We had a very large suite which was honestly larger than we needed but nonetheless amazing!

What an elegant yet cozy hotel. It was the perfect Parisian hotel. The breakfasts were delicious and sumptuous. My kids loved the resident cat. The staff was so warm and welcoming. The concierge team was incredibly helpful and assisted us in tickets to the Musee D'Orsay and the Catacombs. They also suggested a day trip to Versailles and while we didn't do it, they were able to arrange the whole day for us. The Spa was lovely and as a break from the sightseeing, we swam in the pool upstairs. What a great hotel!

It can be difficult for a hotel like Le Bristol to live up to its reputation, but it truly does. The care and consideration that our family received was unmatched and the hotel amenities (pool with great views of the city, Michelin started restaurants, world class spa, etc.) were outstanding. In any city other than Paris, I wouldn’t have wanted to leave the hotel at all — it’s that wonderful!

The Best in the World
By: A Fan
Reviewed on: 16 Jul 2019
We have been to Le Bristol many times. It is our home away from home in Paris. In our opinion (and we have traveled a lot) there is not a better hotel in the world. The staff, including the managing director Leah and her associate Jean Marie, manage to run a tight ship while at the same time being remarkably personable, available, and helpful. The concierges are the best as is the reception staff, all under the watchful eye of Eric Regnier. Epicure is a three star that is worth every penny, which a friendly, approachable, highly professional restaurant staff and outstanding food and wine. We can’t wait to go back to our favorite city in the world and stay at our favorite hotel in the world.

One of the best, if not the best, urban hotel I've ever stayed at. Amazing room, restaurants, bar, ad concierge service. I'm not going to look for any other luxury hotels in Paris ever again--this is the one for me. The prices at the courtyard bar/care were outrageous, though.

7 Nights, Paris and London, 5 Stars

Le Bristol came highly recommended by close friends and I pushed to book here. However, for the cost of the accommodations I don't think some rooms are worth the price. I went to the George V Hotel and The Ritz and the lobby areas are over the top beautiful- since I booked late, I didn't have all choices available. Next time would try a smaller boutique Sandi recommends or the George V or Ritz.

We absolutely loved our stay at Le Bristol. The location is ideal—within walking distance of everything wonderful Paris has to offer—yet it feels like its own serene world. The staff was exceptional: warm, intuitive, and always one step ahead, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them.
We were fortunate to be there during the hotel’s 100th anniversary, which made the experience even more special. The celebration added a layer of elegance and history that only Le Bristol could deliver.
The concierge team was truly world-class—their recommendations were thoughtful, nuanced, and always spot-on. And the food? Exquisite. While Paris is filled with culinary treasures, you could easily stay within the walls of Le Bristol and have an unforgettable dining experience every single day. We left feeling both spoiled and deeply grateful.
Tip: you have to go swimming at the Bristol, it's not to be missed!
