Le Bristol Paris: A GløssPort Stay
Welcome to Le Bristol Paris, An Oetker Collection Gem
Le Bristol Paris
Some hotels make an impression. Le Bristol Paris makes you wonder if you should just move in.
First Impressions
Some hotels are simply a place to sleep, but Le Bristol Paris is an experience in itself. Step inside, and you are immediately engulfed in old-world glamour. Chandeliers glow, fresh flowers spill from every corner, and the scent of freshly baked buttery croissants lingers in the air. The staff greets you like an old friend, one who just so happens to have impeccable taste.
Since 1925, this legendary address has set the standard for Parisian luxury. Elegance here is effortless, and every detail feels like it has been perfected over the generations.
The Gløss Factor
At Le Bristol Paris, it is the kind of luxury that feels effortless. The service is flawless, the atmosphere is warm yet impossibly elegant, and somehow, everything from your morning croissant to the perfectly chilled coupe of champagne tastes better here. Even the resident hotel cat, Socrate, waltzes through the lobby with the confidence of someone who knows he lives at one of the best addresses in Paris because, let’s be honest, he does.
Our recommendation: Visit in December when Le Bristol transforms into a holiday dream. Twinkling lights, perfectly placed garlands, an enchanting Christmas tree garden, and just the right amount of Parisian sparkle make this time of year pure magic. After perusing the Christmas Markets, head back to the hotel, order a vin chaud at the bar, settle into a velvet armchair, and start a new holiday tradition.

Location, Location, Location
Sure, you could stay put in Le Bristol Paris forever, and honestly, we wouldn’t argue. But this is Paris, and the best of the city is right at your doorstep. From iconic landmarks to designer boutiques, everything you could possibly want is within easy reach.
Where: 112 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in the 8th Arrondissement, one of Paris’s most exclusive addresses
Step outside to: Chanel, Hermès, Goyard, and Yves Saint Laurent for the kind of shopping that turns into a full-day affair complete with several champagne breaks
A quick ride to: The Louvre, the Seine, and the Left Bank’s charming cafés for a perfect post-shopping pick-me-up
Best way to get here: Arrive at Charles de Gaulle or Orly and let GløssPort arrange a private transfer, because navigating Paris traffic should never be your problem.
If arriving on the Eurostar at Gare du Nord, taxis are generally the best option. Private transfers are available for those needing luggage assistance, but due to parking restrictions and higher costs, we recommend a cab if you can manage on your own.
Rooms & Suites
Le Bristol Paris has 190 spacious rooms and suites, which, if you know Paris, is no small luxury. The interiors may have been refreshed, but the soul of the hotel remains intact. Think Louis XVI-style furnishings, rich fabrics, and marble bathrooms that feel made for lingering. And the closets? Let’s just say they can handle even the most ambitious of shopping hauls and the needs of those who may not believe in packing light.
Expect high ceilings, antique furnishings, and the kind of attention to detail that makes every inch feel intentionally designed. Rooms are refined yet inviting, with plush seating areas, deep soaking tubs, and windows that frame postcard-worthy Parisian views.
GløssPort Recommends the Terrace Suite with Outdoor Spa. The private rooftop terrace with sweeping Montmartre views and outdoor Jacuzzi is practically an invitation to pop a bottle of champagne.

For those who appreciate more space and want to feel like they are stepping into their own Parisian apartment, we love Le Bristol’s Signature Suites. Grand fireplaces, gilded mirrors, and floor-to-ceiling windows set the scene, but the real luxury is never having to lift a finger.
Lounge by the fire with a good glass of wine, soak in the deep tub after a long day of sightseeing, and let room service deliver the perfect flaky croissants and chocolat chaud on charming porcelain dishes.
Perfectly Parisian.

Dining & Drinks
Mornings at Le Bristol Paris start just the way they should, slow and indulgent. Café Antonia is the place for perfectly brewed coffee, rich chocolat chaud, and the hotel’s legendary housemade pastries. By lunch time, it’s ideal for a champagne-fueled afternoon where you’re likely to linger longer than you’d planned.
For a sunny escape, Le Jardin Français offers alfresco dining in the gorgeous courtyard where rosé flows and the desserts are almost too pretty to eat. Afternoon tea here is an event in itself, best enjoyed with a glass of something bubbly.
114 Faubourg is a one-Michelin-star brasserie where fine dining feels effortless. The menu is refined yet approachable, and the hardest part is narrowing down what to order.
When the occasion calls for three Michelin stars, Epicure delivers. Chef Éric Frechon’s haute cuisine is nothing short of unforgettable.
As night falls, Le Bar du Bristol serves up expertly crafted cocktails in a setting that is just the right amount of intimate. Order a martini or trust the bartender to create something unexpected.
Don’t Miss Le Bristol After Dark. This lounge is where the night gets interesting. It feels sultry, exclusive, and is exactly where you want to be when midnight in Paris rolls around.
Spa & Wellness
A stay at Le Bristol Paris is not complete without a visit to Spa Le Bristol by La Prairie, where relaxation is basically an art form.
After a long-haul flight and an early morning arrival, a massage was the perfect way to settle into Paris. The service was impeccable, with the team ensuring our bags were waiting in our rooms the moment they were ready. We never even had to step out of our robes or back down to the lobby.
The indoor pool is a showstopper, perched on the sixth floor with a maritime-inspired design that makes it feel more like a vintage yacht than a hotel. Step onto the sun deck for views of the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, and Sacré-Cœur, or warm up in the sauna before taking a dip.
The spa’s signature facials and indulgent massages make every visit feel like a reset. Whether you are recovering from jet lag, in need of deep relaxation, or just want an excuse to stay wrapped in the hotel’s plush robes a little longer, this is exactly where you want to be.
For those who prefer movement over massages, the fitness center is fully equipped for a pre-breakfast or post-flight workout.
Service & Atmosphere
Some hotels have great service, then there is Le Bristol Paris, where everything feels effortless in the best possible way. From the moment we arrived, things just happened. Our bags disappeared the second we stepped through the door, check-in was seamless, and when our room was ready, a basket of fresh fruit, housemade macarons, a box of chocolates, and a handwritten welcome note were waiting for us.
GløssPort’s Warm Welcome- the tastiest treats!
The staff here has mastered the art of being everywhere and nowhere all at once. The doormen, concierge, and housekeeping team all seem to know your name, your preferences, and exactly how to make you feel at home. The concierge does not just book reservations, they secure the best table in the house. Housekeeping resets everything so perfectly that you almost feel guilty for enjoying breakfast in bed. Almost.
Room service is the kind that makes you reconsider ever dining out. Every tray arrives artfully arranged, the coffee stays hot, and somehow, even a simple croissant and jam feels like a Michelin-starred experience.
And just when we thought the hospitality could not get any better, we were sent off on our train to Cannes with a to-go box of the most perfect pastries. Because at Le Bristol, the experience does not end at checkout. It’s the kind that makes you wonder why you ever stay anywhere else.
