“Grand Paris hotel if you have the cash...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here for a romantic weekend, my company has a special corporate rate otherwise we could never have stayed there.
The room was great, big with a lovely bathroom (shower and bath) and a massive king size bed.
Greeting at reception was warm and welcoming.
Pool nice and warm on a very cold February weekend.
The location is fantastic right near all the great shops.

I can imagine this hotel being even nicer in summer with the garden and terrace.

However, bottom line is that it is a terribly exepensive hotel. I guess if you stay there at the full rate, you dont care a coffee costs 12 Eur and a cocktail 25.
And noone says that you have to drink or eat in the hotel.

However we ordered a coffee in the room in the morning and were charged 3 eur/person for milk. Small things like that don't endear me to the place.

I can advice this hotel whole hearteldly for those who want to splash out for a special occasion or to those uber rich but for the others, you might feel a bit shorty changed if you pay 600 Eur/ night for a basic room.

We stayed here last weekend and had a wonderful stay from start to finish. Beautiful elegant room, welcoming, friendly staff and a great location. Could not fault it at all as they have thought of everything. Just very, very special!

“Tres fabulous!”

We just returned from Hotel Le Bristol and I cannot say enough good things about how spectacular this hotel was. The entire staff was always warm and friendly. They immediately knew us by name. They upgraded our room which is always a delight and they really went above and beyond our expectations. We were late for dinner one evening and they took us in the hotel mercedes to our restaurant instead of having us wait for a taxi. Our trip was very spontaneous and we were there for 8 days and they were able to get us reservations at the most spectacular restaurants including restaurants that book up months in advance. I could not even get a reservation through Centurion and they were able to come through. Also, we are not cat lovers but Fa-roan may be the most beautiful cat I have ever seen. He is the resident cat of the hotel and is really quite famous. Also, the Guest Relations Manager Jean-Marie Brulot was absolutely wonderful. He immediately introduced himself to us and would always check in to see how everything was going for us. We adored him. Lastly, the hotel is in a spectacular location if you like high-end shopping. I was in heaven at Le Bristol! We cannot wait to return

“First hotel on honeymoon”

person found this review helpful

Very French experience, staff was amazing.
Stayed in a suite on the top level, some of the rooms where like being in an attic, however the views where superb, Eiffel tower views as we asked.
Position was great for walking to all the brand shops, Prada, Hermes, Chopard etc etc
Was a great 5 days in Paris at the beginning of our honeymoon.

Room Tip: Corner suite on top floor had low ceilings in parts, hower wasn't an issue at all and I am 6ft.

“Nothing will ever compare!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

I took my partner to Paris as a surprise for his Birthday in Sept 2011, and we stayed at Le Bristol. Being a student, staying at Le Bristol was a special treat so I wanted to make sure it was all perfect.

I emailed the reception explaining the occasion asking if there was anything they could do, and also the restaurant about my lunch booking.

Upon arriving at the hotel at 10am (5 hours before check-in time) the door porter walked up to the car, opened the door, and said good morning Mr Gibbs. My instant reaction was how did he even know I was Mr Gibbs?! He hadn't seen my luggage, didn't know what car I was arriving in, nor the fact I was arriving in the morning. I could have been any young man turning up that morning. My luggage was taken in an instant, I was lead to the reception, where every single member of staff beamed at me. This lobby is like a dream, and you can see why it received palatial status and also featured in midnight in Paris. It's beautiful.

The friendly receptionist told me all I needed to know, took my luggage etc, and confirmed our lunch reservation. I asked to go to the toilet, and as she walked me down the hall we passed the restaurant. Again, I could have been anyone, but the lady at the podium instantly said, Hello Mr Gibbs, just to confirm your reservation is at 1:30pm. How did they do this?!

The receptionist also overheard me talking to my partner about our Louvre trip, and offered to give us a map, tips, etc.

When we came back to the hotel we went to eat in the 3 Michelin star restaurant. This was BRILLIANT value for money. We had 3 courses, with probably another 4 mini courses if you include the extras, all for 80 something pounds. The restaurant was beautiful, the service was incredible (the woman raced me to get back to my chair first when I returned from the loo, just to pull it out for me, they regularly swept crums away and service was like a military operation it was so precise). The food was something to die for, and the staff overheard us saying how much we liked the sweets at the end, and brought us out boxes of them to take back to the room. They even wrote a message to my partner on his desert to celebrate the occasion, complete with gold leaf. We enjoyed some wonderful afternoon tea to finish.

When we left, there was a lady ready to take us to our room instantly. We walked through the beautiful hotel, up the famous lift, to our room. We had been upgraded to an incredible suite with a separate lounge, huge bedroom, huge bathroom. I have been to some nice hotels, but this was just incredible. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever experienced. And waiting in the lounge, was a beautifully crafted desert, with gold leaf, a chocolate plaque on which Happy Birthday was written, petals with sugar dew drops, leaves made out of chocolate. And a vintage bottle of champagne, all on a neatly laid out trolley with white table cloth and fine cutlery, and a message from the manager. Just incredible.

We went to the pool where the changing rooms had their own little steam rooms, and that was lovely. When we went back to the room, the bed had been turn down with roses and petals spread all over, each petal evidentially placed very precisely, rather than just chucked on. Amazing!! It got better. On several occasions they sent someone just to replace the ice bucket for our champagne, and they even made the desert all over again so we didn't have to eat a half finished one when we fancied it again.

We called and asked for some bags and shaving stuff. The hotel brought up a huge selection, and about 5 different typed of bags to choose from. I have no idea how they got to the door so quickly - they must have someone waiting on each floor?! We also left our shoes outside to be buffered up. The hotel didn't just clean them, they changed the laces, and even fixed my heel, then painted over any scuffs so they looked brand new!!

The next morning we had breakfast, which was lovely, and then checked out having spoken to the manager who spoke perfect English and was a very friendly man, clearly taking the time to get feedback from as many people as he could. And not just to look good, but to listen and constantly improve the hotel.

If you want to stay somewhere that will make your dreams come true for a little while, and will make you feel like you're in a romantic film, then stay at Le Bristol. The service is on a level of its own compared to any other hotel I have stayed at in the world. You will be amazed, fact.

Photos coming soon.

Room Tip: Email reception if it's a special occasion! Never hurts to ask.
