Beautiful old Paris hotel where we could see the Eiffel Tower from our room . They upgraded us to the Presidential Suite for our 50th Anniversary. They left a bottle of champagne and roses and rose petals. They even chauffeured around to our dinner reservations at night. The food was excellent and pricey as are the rooms. read more

Exquisite and luxurious. Having stayed in a Rochon-designed suite, the penthouse was one of the most spectacular suites I have ever stayed in. My husband, son and I spent nearly three fulfilling weeks here, and there were days I did not want to leave my suite! Cheery chintz fabrics, Persian rugs, antique mirrors, original paintings, and fine French regalia make this stay a luxurious yet understated experience. Steps from Élysée Palace, the gardens of the Palais-Royal, the splendid Comédie-Française building, Musée du Louvre (and its pyramid entrance designed by Chinese-American architect, I.M. Pei), it is a prime location for families. Alternatively, the Tuileries museums and the Musee d'Orsay are just a 20-minute walk away from the hotel towards the Champs-Élysées. Epicure, the 3-Michelin-star restaurant in the hotel, is wonderful (even for those who do not favor Western European cuisine); however, after leaving, I still craved a fresh, wholesome meal. I was most impressed by the stellar service, with polished servers calmly floating between tables, sizing up customers by their cultures and demeanors, and adjusting their service accordingly without being obsequious or condescending. Hotel service, pristine conditions of hotel rooms and property throughout, proximity to historical sites, and being in the 8th arrondissement make Le Bristol a top choice for a Paris hotel stay. This all being said, I seldom review hotels but found this one worthy of praise. read more

I have stayed at many luxury hotels in Paris. No doubt, Le Bristol (LB) is one of the finest in hospitality. When I watched Woody Allen's movie "Midnight in Paris", I immediately recognized that's Le Bristol. Not only the staff is always attentive, even the resident kittens are so friendly and cute. From the amazing staff to the true elegance of the décor, everything about LB is what I called the true "luxury"!! However Paris underground water system may due for some repair - soon. If you can, make sure get the room with retrofit shower. Rooms are decent size with extra large bathroom which that's very important to me. I don't recommend many hotels. However, LB is one hotel that I surely can come back to everytime I visit Paris!! No need for a novel of review here. Go take a trip to Paris and see for yourselves how they'd pamper you!! I love Le Bristol and I love Paris!! read more

this review is for epicure inside the hotel--- i found a piece of gray hair baked into the bread - yuck - but the waitstaff didn't apologize or acknowledged. they just took the bread away and the only thing that they did was bringing out a new loaf of bread. additionally, the older waitstaff belittled the younger black waitstaff in front of us; not sure why he was making rude comments to the younger staff in front of customers. we felt so uncomfortable! this behavior is extremely unprofessional and inappropriate. this is a 3 michelin star restaurant. after spending over €1000 (prix fixe €420 per person), you'd expect more from them. some dishes were incredible and the service was polite and great throughout the meal; however, i cannot overlook the two incidents during our visit. not sure if i would recommend this place as there are plenty of michelin restaurants in paris with incredible meals and services. read more

The hotel is undoubtedly nice. However do NOT come to their BAR. They are extremely rude and the experience will leave you flabbergasted. The BAR management needs customer service training. They will make you feel like you do not deserve to be there even when you are paying the extravagant fees to be their guest. It's not so much the money but if you plan on going there for a good time you will not have it. read more

Le Bristol is a extremely classy hotel. The service there is excellent. Every worker stops what they are doing to say hello to you. There is a beautiful kitten that roams the hotel, creating a friendly environment. The food at the hotel is also splendid. Although it is expensive, it is worth every penny. I recommend all to stay here!! read more

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Le Bristol over Christmas and would strongly recommend the hotel for anybody looking for an authentically Parisian experience. The property is centrally located (a block from the Presidential Palace), making it very easy to walk to all major attractions and neighborhoods. We booked through Amex and got upgraded from a Superior to a Deluxe room, which had a beautiful view of the courtyard, a walking closet, a dresser and a very large bathroom (with an amazing shower). The service was exceptional. Every night we got sweets as part of the turn-down service and on Christmas eve we received a snow globe as a gift from the staff. The food was also great, with the best breakfast spread I've ever had (the hotel makes its own flour daily and bakes the best croissants). I hope to get the chance to return in the summer so that I can enjoy the rooftop terrace and pool. read more

Amazing high tea. Absolutely beautiful tea service. The wait staff was amazingly attentive. All the food was great, and the atmosphere was stunning. The service was quite large, and although a little pricey I've been to more expensive high teas. Plus the second person is a cheaper price. Definitely worth it. Highly recommend. Dress nicely- sun dress or button down and slacks. Wait staff were in suits. read more

Le Bristol is a TripAdvisor Three Category Award Winner for Best Luxury Hotel, Top Hotel and Best Service in 2014, as well as being the #1 rated hotel in Paris. My wife and I have been very fortunate to stay at some very nice hotels and our favorite hotel was The Dorchester in London. For the last three years, the only other hotel that came somewhat came close to The Dorchester was the One & Only Palmilla Resort in Cabo, Mexico. I'm proud to say that the Hotel Le Bristol is now our #1 hotel for it's luxuriousness, elegance and service. Right when we walked in, we were in awe. We were immediately greeted by English speaking attendants, lucky for us. We then checked in with Marjorie Gomez and all she did was congratulate us on our 10 year anniversary and our birthdays, upgraded our room, and then left a handwritten note for us in our room! She was amazing! Le Bristol made our 10 year anniversary extra special with a bottle of champagne, an assortment of fine chocolates, rose pedals on our bed and around the bath tub, and hand written notes. Even the Le Bristol President and General Manager, Didier Le Calvez, wrote us a note wishing us a happy anniversary/birthday! http://www.lebristolparis.com/eng/about-le-bristol/our-team/ He's the guy at the top of the list! The Le Bristol Concierge Team was spectacular. They all spoke very good English and were always eager to provide assistance and answer any questions. I don't think there is anything this team can't achieve for their hotel guests. They helped us re-confirm our dinner reservation at their own 3 star Michelin restaurant, Epicure. (I should also mention that Constance was amazing as she worked with L'Astrance, another 3 star Michelin restaurant, on booking dinner reservations for us a month prior. Without Constance, I know we would have not gotten into L'Astrance.) Every member of the Concierge Team and the Le Bristol Team was warm, polite, and friendly. I actually wondered if the staff got daily bonuses for the number of times they smiled at their hotel guests! Our room was spacious and luxurious. Everything was authentic as reproductions of paintings, mirrors, prints are not allowed in the hotel. Our bath soap was made by Hermes and our shampoo was from the La Prairie Spa! The bed was divine as were the sheets. Le Bristol is also located near the Palais d'Elysee (home of the French president) and on a shopping street (rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore) parallel to the Champs-Elysees, which is two blocks away. Within walking distance were stores like Chopard, Ferragamo, Céline, Yves Saint-Laurent, Givenchy, Chloé, Christian Lacroix, Versace, Ungaro. To sum it up, Le Bristol is definitely pricey as we paid about $1,100 USD per night but it's well worth it. Le Jardin Français Restaurant: Caesar Salad: 45 euros or $57 USD Pumpkin Soup: 26 euros or $33 USD Pan-fried roasted beef filet: 68 euros or $85 USD Red Berries Dessert Platter: 33 euros or $41 USD Homemade Ice Cream: 24 euros or $30 USD Epicure Restaurant: 3 star Michelin Restaurant and requires reservations Chef Eric Frechon's Suggested Menu: 295 euros or $370 USD/person 1L of Evian Water: 12 euros or $15 USD Le Bristol is our new favorite hotel and we will be staying there the next time we are in Paris. Special thanks to the Le Bristol Team for making our 10 year anniversary so special! read more

Dreamy... My husband and I are still talking about our experience at le Bristol. We arrived in Paris jet lagged (of course) around breakfast time to this amazing palace. As we entered, we noticed a beautiful white fluffy kitty with flame point ears lounging on the newel post in the entry -- he added some serious glam! (A few days later, we saw some adults were chasing him and trying to keep him in captivity so they could pet him!) Once we were checked in, Jeremy and Geraldine whisked us away to the lovely neoclassical style sitting room for a few croissants, brioche, fresh juice and coffee to relax while our room was getting prepped. The sitting room was full of beautiful seating, colors and the high ceilings and the light just poured through the room - magnificent! They led us to our room. We opened the door and there among the Juliette balcony adorned with flowers and greenery was a view of the eiffle tower! There was a hand written note with sparking water and fresh figs beautifully displayed on a tray. The room was fairly large in comparison to other European hotels. There was a king size bed with a sofa, desk and vanity. The bathroom was huge with all white marble floors, dual sinks complete with a killer hair dyer, Hermes soap, toilet, bidet, shower and bath. They also had adapters for us to use. Now for the bar, just go- you must! It's a glamorous mix of beautiful tapestries, mirrors, upholstered wing chairs, sofas, fireplace- then there is someone spinning music but not in an obnoxious clubby way ...the perfect mix. We had champagne and they brought us dark and milk chocolates. The bathrooms down the hall have amazing recessed curved doors and are automatic. Cool The service here at the hotel was fabulous. What an amazing start to our trip. The only downside to staying here was that it made our other hotel accommodations on our European venture seem just average! J'adore tu le Bristol!! See you again on another special occasion!! read more

Please be aware that criminals are targeting their clients. My Parisian friend and I were knocked down and robbed after eating lunch in the cafe earlier this week. I was told later by someone else who lives there that this same criminal tried to rob him outside the hotel but he luckily escaped. After warning Mr. Brûlée in management, he said "spring brings tourists which brings crime". This really is a shame as I love(d) the place. read more

the most beautiful hotel in the world. staff is the sweetest and friendliest, management is so awesome and helpful and the entire 2 weeks there we felt like royalty. from the minute you pull up your breath is taken away. they make you feel pampered in ways no U.S. hotel has ever heard of. the suite was so amazing i almost never wanted to leave it. we had breakfast on our friends balcony looking at the Eifel tower. whatever you NEED or can desire they will do everything to go far above and beyond to make your stay better. The daytime manager is so sweet and nice. my little cousin got sick on the flight over and spent the first 2 days and nights sick in bed. the manager was so helpful and incredible my cousins mother couldnt stop thanking him. they made our entire stay so incredible and the suites and rooms are breathtaking. i cannot thank the staff enough. they made the whole stay feel like we were staying with close family who wanted nothing more than to make sure we were happy every second of the day. my father sent them a really nice letter to let them know how much we loved it there. unfortunately its ruined us for every other hotel in the world lol. read more

My second visit to Le Bristol was less magical than the first, if only slightly. There were a couple key differences unrelated to food. First, we weren't seated in the gorgeous summer dining room, but rather in a more confined space by the hotel lobby. I was a bit disappointed, but I will say it was a sumptuous room, decked out in carved wood, red brocade, and gold chandeliers. Second, there was a huge blip in the service. Matt and I had a 12:00 reservation and showed up on time. Le Bristol was not ready to open, and the hostess asked us to have a seat outside. We were seated at 12:20. There were no apologies, not even when we hinted at our discontent. This was stunning coming from a Michelin 3-star restaurant, and odd considering the rest of the service. Once we sat down, it was as impeccable as I remembered. I really liked our head waitress, a polished and smiling blond, and she was quite effusive when our plates were switched during one of our courses. In any case, there was a bright side to the mishap - we saw the Olsen twins in Le Bristol's lobby. The food was, once again, extraordinary. This time the €85 menu included four courses rather than three, with both cheese and dessert. With a few exceptions, the food was entirely different. We started again with the bacon shallot stick but a new trio of canapés. These were a cream of mushroom soup with parsley, a crispy goat cheese lollipop with roasted pineapple and black pepper, and tzatziki in a cucumber geleé. The soup was delightfully light and earthy, with just a hint of parsley in a thin green layer. The lollipop was tangy and sweet, and the strip of peppery pineapple echoed its play of flavors, with a savory zip from the pepper. The bubble of cucumber yielded to nutty sesame in a pleasing burst. Then came the epic bread basket, and soon after, our amuse bouche. This was fig roasted with mozzarella and balsamic vinegar, with crunchy nibs of fresh almond tucked under the oozy cheese. The fig was soft and sweet, and the combination of favors straightforward and well done. The appetizers were not as good as they were my first time, but they were still excellent. I had raw salmon and oysters marinated in lemon, with sesame oil, nori, and a thin spaghetti of cucumber. It was slippery and refreshing, with utterly fresh seafood, and the cucumber added nice coolness and texture. The better starter, though, was Matt's preserved duck foie gras with four spices, blackberry jam, green apple jelly, and brioche toasts. The spices - ginger, cinnamon, coriander, and pepper - were smoothly incorporated into the rich foie gras. The creamy foie was spot-on, and the layer of blackberry jam on top was the perfect foil for the fat and the subtle spices. Our entrees brought the bookends to our meal. Matt's John Dory was worse than anything else I've had at Le Bristol by several degrees. Sauteed then served with cream sauce and a ravioli of bacon, clams, and young onions, it was bland and the fish dense and grainy. The ravioli was pretty - instead of pasta, a thin sheet of clam was placed on top of a nest of bacon and greens. The clams were great, but the greens, which contained something like cabbage as well as onion, were stringy and a bit bitter. Now, though, for the best of the entrees I've tasted at Le Bristol - the spit-roasted wood pigeon. I'd never had pigeon before, and now when I see them on the street I get a little hungry. This was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The meat was beautiful and red, tender with the exact optimal amount of chew. It was masterful cooking, the pigeon enhanced by a delicious red onion almond compote and the pigeon's natural juices. Just exquisite. Not that I wanted my palate cleansed, but I enjoyed the refreshing mango sorbet with almond milk, orange blossom, lemon, and vanilla. Ditto the dessert that followed. There was a liquid nitrogen lychee snowball with an iced meringue perfumed with pear, rose, and lemon. It was frosty and delicate, with lovely flavors that tip-toed on the tongue. The chocolate dessert was richer, darker, an origami crane holding iced coconut milk and a hot chocolate elixir. The chocolate crane was paper-thin, and the lava within flowed with decadence. There was something like chocolate cake inside as well, and the coconut did well to temper the richness. Then came a cart of mignardises, from which we grabbed dark chocolate and orange, milk chocolate and nuts, marshmallow, nougatine, salted caramel, passionfruit caramel, puff pastry swirl, and raspberry ginger and salted butter caramel macarons. As last time, the caramel macaron was the show-stopping highlight. When it was over, we got Le Bristol gift bags with chocolates and mignardises inside. We took these home and I savored them, recalling our lunch. Dinner carries more food and a higher price tag, but I'm not even tempted. I don't buy that anything could far exceed Le Bristol's lunch experience. read more

We stayed at this hotel on our recent trip to Paris, the rooms, service and food were exceptional. Its the quintessential Parisian decor and style. You can walk to the best stores in Paris, Hermes, Prada etc. only a few blocks away. They have a house car for nearby dining after 7 which worked out well. They included internet and many other amenities in the price. The rooms were really spacious and had all the modern amenities, such as hairdryer, rain head shower, excellent bath and beauty products, minbar, safe etc they also feature a Le Prairie Spa. The front desk and bell staff were some of the best I have experienced and the house cat Cleopatra was a warm touch to welcome us back each day. read more

My wife and I stayed here for three nights on a quick anniversary/birthday trip to Paris. It is a fantastic hotel. The ambiance - including the hotel cat in the lobby - was outstanding. The staff, including the concierge, were attentive, helpful, accommodating, friendly. They took care of our tours to the Louvre and Versailles, car tours of the city, and dinner reservations. Great location. The restaurants - particularly epicure - are tremendous. Our room was great. Truly, there wasn't a single negative during our stay. We felt very welcome. When we come back to Paris, we will stay at Le Bristol. read more

We just arrived in Spain at the Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona (separate review written) after departing Le Bristol in Paris and boy what a let down. Le Bristol Hotel is what all luxury hotels should aspire to be. From their amazing staff (literally nothing is too much for their expertise) to the gastric experience that is Epicure or the bar with amazing champagne and tea cakes our stay was impeccable. Our room was beautiful (to be honest it wasn't ready but we were seated in a lovely area and served coffee/tea and yummy cookies while we waited (truly a minimal wait time) and they were very apologetic as well. Paris is an amazing city and the staff at the Bristol made getting around a pleasure. Great recommendations for restaurants and sight seeing. Cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. We are usually Four Seasons people and I'm very happy that we stepped out of our comfort zone and tried this incredibly elegant yet comfortable taste of Paris. We will absolutely return! read more

My husband and I went to Italy and Paris for our honeymoon. My husband chose Le Bristol and what an amazing decision on his part. With the help of Stephanie N, he booked a suite on the sixth floor overlooking the Eiffel tower. She helped out tremendously to make our honeymoon perfect. Our bathroom had a steam-room which was fabulous. The staff at this hotel was marvelous and they made us feel very welcomed. Valerie was the first face to greet us and show us to our room. She was warm, kind and very helpful. The housekeeping staff keeps the rooms immaculate. They were also very sweet and kind enough to take a picture of my husband and me overlooking the Eiffel tower. The place is beautiful and upscale, and their breakfast was delicious. I can't imagine going back to Paris and staying elsewhere. I plan to go back every year for my anniversary, and I will be staying at this amazing hotel. read more
