Le Bristol Paris - by Laure Verchère (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Discover the sumptuous elegance of the five-star hotel that has welcomed the crème de la crème in Paris for a century.

Designed with a spirit of remarkable freedom, the legendary Parisian palace hotel Le Bristol attracted Parisian high society in the Roaring Twenties and has continued ever since to welcome A-list guests from across the globe. Today, it represents a distinctively French lifestyle at the crossroads of the arts and exudes timeless luxury through high-quality service, lavish rooms, and peaceful gardens that offer refuge from the bustling city. With a total of four Michelin stars, Le Bristol's restaurants embody French culinary excellence. Combining history, architecture, interiors, gastronomy, and a taste for luxurious living, this book--produced with silver-edged pages and cover vignette--celebrates this jewel on Paris's prestigious Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
