A very few hotels are rated amongst the best in the world and Le Bristol is easily in that rare and select group. Fabulous hotel with an amazing team across every department but a special thanks to Hélène in the concierge team who was an absolute star when my wife was ill. I wouldn’t wish her illness on anyone but if you were poorly anywhere then there is no finer place. It’s also absolutely superb when you are well too! Beautiful room overlooking the garden, meticulous attention to detail including a nespresso machine and kettle finished in matching cream leather. Overall, the hotel effortlessly manages to convey intimacy and care in a building with 100+ bedrooms. Fantastic.

Our entire stay was lovely from start to finish. We stayed for 3 nights in an Executive Room. Our room was ready when we arrived (which is always a plus), and they had pastries and chocolates waiting on us. (The L’Epicerie on the property is fabulous! Everything I tried was delicious.) Our bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was a nice size for 2 people. A lot of European hotel rooms feel tiny, and this room was a great size for a couple. It also had ample closet space. The concierge team kindly helped us with dinner reservations and it was so nice not having to worry about doing it ourselves. The American Breakfast at Cafe Antonia was wonderful. Every staff member we encountered was kind and courteous.

This was our fourth stay at Le Bristol in seven years and it truly feels like our Parisian home. What makes this hotel so special are the people who work in it. We stayed at the Four Seasons George V in the past and while it is excellent, it felt like a formal business hotel. Close friends, who in the past had stayed at the Ritz, recently stayed at Le Bristol and said there is a special intangible quality which elevates it above all the rest. We met the prior Hotel Manager seven years ago and while she now works in a different capacity, during subsequent visits she has stopped us in the hotel lobby or restaurant to chat and ask how we are. We have also repeatedly spoken to the new Hotel Manager and Head of Guest Relations during our stays. It’s no wonder that returning to Le Bristol feels like a family reunion. From the housekeeping staff to the front desk staff to the doormen - their warmth and friendliness make you happy to return. While we were at Le Bristol this Christmas, a friend sent an Instagram video showing a dazzling Christmas tree at the Ritz and asked if there was a tree like it at Le Bristol. What she didn’t realize is that this type of tree can be found at any department store or shopping mall, but this paled in comparison to what Le Bristol had to offer. In the lobby of the hotel was a beautiful, yet understated Christmas nativity scene designed and constructed by an Italian artist. In its simplicity, it depicted the true meaning of Christmas. At Le Bristol you get understated elegance and not ostentation. While we lived in Los Angeles, it was easy to get to Paris. Now, living in Hawaii, it is quite a bit harder with two long plane rides. Despite this, we plan on returning every year or two to visit our home away from home. Thank you, Le Bristol, for another very special stay.

Le Bristol has such a warm and personable staff. They go out of their way to make you feel very special and are happy to go the extra mile to make your stay memorable. About nine years ago, we had a romantic dinner at Epicure around Christmas and a picture was taken at the time. Before our recent visit, I forwarded the hotel the picture and requested sitting at the table to recreate that touching moment as a surprise to my wife. When we checked into our suite, on the dresser next to the bed was the picture of us, framed. So thoughtful! We loved our spacious suite so much and especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and late afternoon treats and surprises delivered each day. One sweet treat was a trio of different chocolate Olympic medal medallions to celebrate the games during our stay Le Bristol lovingly embraces you during your stay and you truly feel as if you are part of a large family while here. It definitely feels like our home away from home while in Paris.
