What's in a name? Taking its moniker from Bishop Frederick Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol, an 18th-century traveller famed for his love of comfort, this Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré landmark opened more than100 years ago in 1925. It quickly established itself as a favoured haunt of the Paris culture set – Coco Chanel, Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian and Salvador Dali included. Becoming home to the American Embassy during World War II, the hotel returned to stylish form in the 1950s, when, thanks to its proximity to the first Pierre Cardin boutique and the world of haute couture, its bartenders would serve cocktails to fashion designers and photographers around the clock. Acquired by the Oetker Group in 1978, Le Bristol remained committed to staying open and serving its loyal clientele throughout a discreet six-year refurbishment completed in 2018.
