I will post two reviews because we stayed in separate suites before and after a week-long ultra deluxe canal barge "cruise." I traveled with my good buddy Nancy from Brooklyn.
This covers my fourth stay at Le Bristol, 10-12 September 2021
Check In
Smooth and quick. Greeted by name at the curb, ushered to reception, greeted by two managers, escorted to room. The early checkin (1pm) was sincerely appreciated. I was required to show my CDC vax card. No fuss about the lack of a passe sanitare. Voila!
Room
10-12 September -- Prestige Elysee suite
I am a fan of Le Bristol's traditional Parisian decor which is pleasing to my eye and very comfortable. It is not distastefully oppulent yet elegant, chic, and exceptionally comfortable.
The floral coverlets some here bemoaned have been retired in favor of crisp white linens and color cooedinated throw. The Prestige Elysee was an upgrade obtained at booking. It comprised very large living room, huge bedroom, marble 1/2 bath and large marble bathroom. It was furnished with exceptional tub, modest-sized rainfall shower, toilet cubicle with bidet (Yay France), two hand sinks, heated towel racks, a comfortable rattan chair, assorted lovely toiletries, linen hand towels in addition to terry. Orchids in the bathroom.
Living room was comfortable and chic -- two couches four armchairs, desk and chair, sideboard, coffee tables. Four flower bouquets. Lively spacious room with two separate seating areas. Upon arrival there was champagne, chocolates, macarons, huge bowl of fruit, still and sparkling water (replenished daily), hand-written notes from management and Hao, my travel enabler.
Bedroom was enormous and tres comfortable. Included couch and seating area, desk with chair and a make-up console. And, another bouquet of flowers!
An elegant, comfortable suite that was balm to my jet-lagged body and soul.
Dining
Room service was very good for Nancy but my low-no salt diet was difficult.
Location
It's a lovely part of Paris, the 8th arr., around the corner from the presidential palace so very safe with high security. Fairly central for many museums.
Overall
Unable to say how much I love this glorious hotel that is so welcoming of its guests. Our stay was perfection.
Service
Superlative
