Best fit
Travelers who want the most classically French palace in the city, the Oetker Collection register on Faubourg Saint-Honoré, and specifically its garden suites over the Place de la Concorde address.
Trade-off
Le Bristol sits on the Right Bank's Faubourg Saint-Honoré rather than directly on Place de la Concorde — travelers set on that exact square should book the Crillon instead.

The property and location

Le Bristol Paris, an Oetker Collection hotel, sits on Faubourg Saint-Honoré in the 8th arrondissement. Its roughly 1,200-square-metre courtyard garden is a rare amount of green space for a central-Paris palace, and upper-floor rooms and suites look out over Paris's rooftops toward the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre. The Faubourg Saint-Honoré address is distinct from the Place de la Concorde square where the Crillon sits — travelers set on that exact square should book there instead.

Rooms and suites

The hotel carries roughly 190 rooms and suites in total, furnished with period pieces from the Louis XV and Louis XVI eras and original artworks — among the largest room counts of any Paris palace hotel. Suites make up a substantial share of that total; the exact current split shifts with renovations and should be confirmed directly before booking a specific category.

Epicure and the dining program

Epicure, chef Eric Frechon's tasting-menu restaurant, has held three Michelin stars since 2009 and is open for breakfast (7:30-10:30am) and dinner (7:30-9:30pm). 114 Faubourg, a classic brasserie-style restaurant, has held one Michelin star since 2013. Between the two, Le Bristol carries four Michelin stars — one of the deepest single-hotel dining programs among the Paris palaces.
