Le Bristol suits couples who want dinner at Epicure, which has 3 Michelin stars, and a garden-facing balcony: one night starts at €1,500 in February 2027 for 2 adults, the lowest price any seller showed on Google. Anyone who wants the pool without a room should look elsewhere: it is for residents.

The façade of Le Bristol Paris on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré
  1. The balcony over the garden

    I would ask for a Deluxe Room with balcony: 45 m² over the garden, with a private balcony for morning coffee or an aperitif, a marble bathroom with bathtub and separate shower, and interconnecting rooms on request.

  2. The weeks that cost less

    In the calendar read on 13 October 2026, every night from 2 to 25 February 2027 stayed between €1,500 and €1,539 for 2 adults. The dearest single night was 20 October 2026, at €4,091.

  3. On top of the rate

    On its autumn and winter offer the hotel adds city tax of €15.93 per adult per night. Valet parking in the private underground car park costs €55 a night, for resident guests only.

  4. Breakfast at Epicure

    Epicure opens for breakfast too, every day from 7.30am to 10.30am and for hotel guests only; breakfast can also be served in the comfort of the room.

What Le Bristol is

Opened in April 1925, Le Bristol belongs to Oetker Hotels and holds official Palace distinction. Its current FAQ counts 188 rooms and suites, including 100 suites, against Forbes’s lingering figure of 190. The 1,200 m² garden gives the Faubourg Saint-Honoré address a quieter interior setting.

Epicure has 3 Michelin stars and serves lunch and dinner Tuesday–Saturday. Its 6 and 8-course menus cost €360 and €490 when read on 1 October 2026. Café Antonia takes the day from breakfast to tea; Le Bar du Bristol opens 5pm–1am. 114 Faubourg explicitly remains temporarily closed until further notice.

The indoor rooftop pool opens 6.30am–10.30pm, with water maintained at 28°C. It is for residents. A non-resident treatment at Spa Le Bristol by La Mer does not establish a pool pass; Bristol Society Fitness Club members have separate gym access.

The Google Hotels calendar read on 1 October for 2 adults showed €2,108 on 8 October 2026, €2,096 on 16 November and €1,795 on 15 December. Room category and inclusions remain unknown. The official autumn offer starts at €1,690 with American breakfast; wellness starts at €2,490 with breakfasts and two 55-minute massages. Both are subject to availability and supplemental tourist tax.

A badge is an experience travellers look for, that is really here and that few hotels in the guide have.

  1. Location

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests write of a central base for seeing Paris, on the Faubourg Saint-Honoré with its boutiques.

  2. Room

    9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests remember the rooms for their elegant furnishings, their space and the comfort of the beds.

The scores come from 500 Google reviews with text, left from 2 July 2023 to 29 September 2026. The sample includes stays and restaurant, bar or spa visits reviewed on the same Google listing; it is not restricted to overnight stays. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Paris: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 1 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

The hotels we weigh it against in Paris:

  • The Peninsula Paris
  • Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris
  • Hôtel de Crillon
  • Shangri-La Paris

Price: for two on the night of 12 February 2027, from €1,500 (seen on Google Hotels on 13 October 2026).

A visitor writing on 23 May 2026 instead describes lukewarm coffee and having to ask for water.

The pool is exclusively for residents. Non-residents may book spa treatments, which does not establish access to a public pool day pass. The gym is open to hotel guests and Bristol Society Fitness Club members, 6.30am–10.30pm, with 24-hour access on request. A generic sentence in the spa menu limits pool and fitness to residents; a later clause and the dedicated fitness page explicitly admit club members to the gym.
