Le Bristol Paris, icon of timeless glamour in the heart of Paris, will reopen its doors to a fabulous new chapter in a remarkable history…a history written like a dream. This precious rebirth gives life to a unique new spirit at Le Bristol, bringing a contemporary vision to its rooms and suites with designs that speak the language of discrete elegance, telling a story of timeless sophistication. These majestic refurbishments are the capstone marking the completion of Le Bristol Paris’ multi-phase renewal.

For the new room and suite designs, Le Bristol Paris consulted Countess Bergit Douglas and the
creative team at her architectural firm, MM Design. The traditional artisanry of Colefax & Fowler,
Briatte, Farrow & Ball, Maison Taillardat and Loro Piana are displayed in tasteful touches throughout.

Le Bristol’s star-studded cast of rooms and suites will soon be joined by a new member: the Lumière Suite. Located on the hotel’s 5th floor with a view over Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré, the suite is  designed in the spirit of an elegant Parisian apartment with a library corridor between the drawing room and bedroom, and large bow windows to invite an abundance of light. Soft tonalities of aqua, jade and coral bring a warm and contemporary feel to this brand new pied-à-terre that is conceived to be a tranquil harbour for the Paris bound.

The beloved Paris Suite has been infused with the beauty of embroidered draperies at the French
doors, creating a sumptuous and regal threshold between the resplendent quietude of the interior and the stylish runway that is Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré. The richness of the wood parquet — the same as is seen in the Palais de Versailles — and the ornate luxury of a rug made from silk give reason to look down and admire the poetry beneath one’s feet.

In the majestic Elysée Suite, a walk-in closet illuminated by natural light offers a veritable stage for
showcasing the day’s purchases from the famous boutiques in Paris’ most exclusive shopping district.

In the expansive drawing room, walls painted in soft hues are outlined by limed oak moulding for a
light, contemporary finish and a gentle atmosphere in which to relax after an afternoon’s treatment at Spa Le Bristol by La Prairie. A private bar now graces the living space for in-suite entertaining that will rival any evening out in the City of Light—an exclusive prelude to dinner at Epicure.

The Panoramic Suite, famously captured in the Academy Award winning film, Midnight in Paris, is
preserved in the same design as seen on the silver screen. Now boasting a plush new sofa, it beckons the jet-lagged to curl up with a great book and a glass of rosé Champagne. Suite 1925, a tribute to perennial diva Josephine Baker, is enlivened by original portraits of the beloved entertainer, taken right here at Le Bristol Paris. One imagines dancing the Charleston through this charming, mansard-roofed suite.

A voyage spent in love’s embrace has one quintessential destination: Le Bristol’s Honeymoon Suite.
Here, the cinematic view over Paris offers a pure dose of romance. The Terrace Suite, with its private
outdoor spa, channels all of the serenity of a wellness retreat into this rooftop haven, where the warm sun and soft perfume of roses soothe both body and mind with their gentle essence. And in the majestic Penthouse Suite, one is elegantly cut off from the world — but not of its riches — in 350- square-metres of lavish living space.
