112, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré Paris 75008, France
               
Ava Gardner,
Marylin Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Robert de Niro and Céline Dion once pushed the
revolving door of the elegant 112th, rue du Faubourg St Honoré building:
stepping inside the most confidential palace hotel in Paris
The most
well-mannered of the Paris grand hotels is the Bristol, named after an English
lord and a bishop. It is also by far the most reserved. Rather appropriately,
it's where Newland Archer stays in that final, heartbreaking scene in Wharton's
Age of Innocence, when he goes to see Madame Olenska and, at the last minute,
holds back. There is something about the Bristol that inspires romance and
restraint.
Like a frosted
cake, the Bristol is creamy Art Deco on the outside, and decadent 18th century
within. Go in spring, when the window boxes of geraniums are in bloom and the
large garden is redolent with the smell of magnolia. The pool is one of the few
in Paris, and though small, it is beautiful, enclosed in glass and bathed in
Parisian sunlight.
A note: Despite
its 18th-century antique furniture, Gobelin tapestries, and artwork that once
hung in the Louvre, the Bristol is a hotel that many interior designers say
they're dying to make over. The penthouse, which has been played host to
everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Prince, is unfortunately yellow. Nonetheless,
it's a favorite among style leaders and you won't have a chance of getting a
room during fashion week. Maybe it's the silent, inscrutable, staff, who
insiders swear give the greatest service in the city. Maybe it's those
bathrooms—the largest in Paris—and the Hermes robes. Maybe it's the new chef
Eric Frechon. Or maybe it's the in-house Anne Semonin spa—her jet-lag facials
have a cult following—and star pedicurist Bastien Gonzales. Perfect for Paris
fashion week, when you've been on your feet in New York and Milan for the last
month. And if you stay at the Bristol, you can get it done in your room.
