Le Bristol Paris

Discover the sumptuous elegance of the five-star hotel that has welcomed the crème de la crème in Paris for a century.

Located in the heart of Paris, Le Bristol palace hotel has pampered elite guests from around the world since 1925. This volume traces the history of the legendary hotel created by visionary entrepreneur Hippolyte Jammet and named after the Earl of Bristol—a renowned traveler during the Age of Enlightenment. Designed with a spirit of remarkable freedom, the hotel attracted Parisian high society in the Roaring Twenties and has continued ever since to welcome A-list guests from across the globe.

Today, it represents a distinctively French lifestyle, at the crossroads of the arts, and exudes timeless luxury through high-quality service, lavish rooms, and peaceful gardens that offer refuge from the bustling city. With a total of four Michelin stars, Le Bristol's restaurants embody French culinary excellence, serving up iconic drinks such as the Bristol Old Fashioned and recipes such as Onion Soup with Beef Consommé or Lemon Sorbet.

Combining history, architecture, interiors, gastronomy, and a taste for luxurious living, this bilingual English-French book—produced with silver-edged pages and vignette cover insert—celebrates this jewel on Paris's prestigious Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
