01Is it for you?

Is Le Bristol Paris right for your stay?

Why choose it
Its garden: trees and flowers inside the house, in the middle of the city. Add a pool on the sixth floor above the rooftops, and Épicure, Arnaud Faye's restaurant, under the same roof.
Who it suits
Couples who want a classic French house with a garden, and families: there is a children's play area on the sixth floor, and the hotel arranges babysitting.
What to consider
The pool is a small one, and the hotel's brasserie, 114 Faubourg, was listed as temporarily closed when we checked in October 2026.

02The hotel

The hotel and its rooms

Le Bristol Paris occupies the former town house of the Comte Jules de Castellane on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Hippolyte Jammet bought it to make the most luxurious hotel in Paris and named it after Frederick Hervey, the fourth Earl of Bristol, a great traveller; the Oetker family’s hotel company owns it today. The hotel later spread onto the site of a former convent, which gave it its garden, and into a neighbouring building on the Avenue Matignon.

Rooms and suites

The rooms run from the Superior rooms, made up for one guest, through the Deluxe rooms of 45 m² — some looking onto the garden, some with a balcony — to the Prestige rooms of 50 m². The Junior Suites are 55 m², again with garden-view versions, and the Deluxe and Prestige Junior Suites 75 m². The Deluxe Suites, 90 m², include suites over the garden, and at the top the Suite Panoramique runs to 160–200 m² and the Suite Penthouse to 200–350 m². From the Prestige rooms up, each takes three guests.

If a particular outlook, bed configuration or step-free access matters to you, tell us when you enquire and we will confirm it with the hotel for your dates before anything is booked.

On the practical side: the hotel has valet parking and a private underground car park; Orly is about 20 km away and Charles de Gaulle about 30 km, so we arrange a private transfer from either. Small dogs are welcome, with a welcome kit of their own.
