Le Bristol Paris — a century of hushed diplomacy
Founded in 1925 by Hippolyte Jammet in an 18th-century private mansion, Le Bristol Paris has established itself as the preferred address of executives, diplomats and heads of state. Its immediate proximity to the Élysée Palace (300 meters) has made it the official palace for state visits and ministerial missions.
Acquired in 1978 by the German Oetker Collection family (Brenners Park-Baden-Baden, L'Apogée Courchevel, Eden Rock-Saint Barths), Le Bristol cultivates a French art of living that prioritises absolute discretion over ostentation. Its Haussmann facade on Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 190 rooms and suites, boat-shaped rooftop swimming pool with panoramic view over Paris rooftops, and 1,200 sqm secret garden form a unique setting.
Le Bristol houses Epicure, three-Michelin-star gastronomic restaurant by chef Éric Frechon, and 114 Faubourg, its one-star chic brasserie. Officially classified as palace since 2009, it is one of the five addresses historically recognised as such by the French State.
