The Suite

Stepping into the Suite Impériale at Le Bristol Paris is more like entering a private art gallery than a hotel room. The suite was redesigned by George Condo, a longtime guest of the hotel, who brought in his own works and collaborated with master craftsmen to create a unique space. The suite blends American contemporary art and traditional French design, where De Gournay hand-painted wallpapers, custom Chinese lacquerware, and ornate marble fireplaces form a backdrop for Condo’s distinctive style.

The Suite Impériale can be arranged with one, two, or three bedrooms, depending on your needs. The space is home to a private kitchen, dining area, separate living room, and walk-in closets, as well as an in-suite hammam.

Staying here comes with a collection of VIP privileges. Guests can request early check-in, round-trip transfers, and a personal meet-and-greet upon arrival (excluding Gare du Nord). A dedicated Maître d’hôtel handles everything from unpacking to prioritised room service, while a 55-minute spa treatment for two at Spa Le Bristol by La Mer rounds out the experience. Additional perks include a VIP minibar, living-room breakfast, and a 24/7 dedicated WhatsApp line for any requests. In every detail, the Suite Impériale combines comfort, flexibility, and a close connection to both the city and the art within its walls.

The Hotel

The hotel itself is just as layered and distinctive. Opened in 1925, Le Bristol was France’s first ‘palace hotel’ and has remained a fixture of Parisian life ever since. It sits on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in the 8th arrondissement, a prime spot for shopping, dining, and cultural exploration. Nearby boutiques include Christian Lacroix, Givenchy, and Dolce & Gabbana, while the Jardin Français offers a quiet green space to escape the city streets.

Rooms and suites feel spacious and inviting, with tall windows letting in plenty of light and views over the garden or street. Suites often resemble traditional Parisian apartments, with separate living and dining areas, muted colour schemes, and antique Louis XV and XVI furniture. Some even frame the Eiffel Tower. Art is woven into the hotel’s identity: historical pieces like portraits of Marie-Antoinette sit alongside contemporary works by painters, sculptors, and cabinetmakers, giving the building a gallery-like feel.

Dining spans several Michelin-starred venues. Epicure, the three Michelin-star restaurant led by Chef Eric Frechon, serves contemporary French cuisine indoors or in the Jardin Français. 114 Faubourg is still fine dining but slightly more relaxed, with traditional dishes prepared in an open kitchen. Café Antonia offers pastries and afternoon tea by Laurent Jeannin and the Bar du Bristol focuses on cocktails with individual twists, created to order.

The hotel’s little secret for anyone in the know, every evening from Wednesday to Saturday, Bristol After Dark (BAD) takes over Le Bar du Bristol. The space is a playful nod to Studio 54 with cocktails and DJ sets spinning disco, ’80s, and pop tunes.

Wellness is also a major focus. Spa Le Bristol by La Mer covers three floors, with eight treatment rooms, a eucalyptus steam room, and Paris’s only authentic Russian Banya, complete with hammam and heated marble table. Guests can enjoy the rooftop swimming pool with city views or the indoor pool that opens onto garden terraces.

For guests traveling with pets, Le Bristol Paris stands out among Oetker Hotels for how effortlessly it welcomes four-legged family members. The palace has a long history of pampering furry guests, not least because it has been home for the past 11 years to one very special resident: Fa-Raon, a male Birman cat whose name nods to Ancient Egypt.
