Le Bristol Paris—an icon of Parisian hospitality, celebrates its 100 years’ anniversary since its founding.
Born in 1925, Le Bristol Paris has become the epitome of Parisian sophistication. As one of the last family-owned grand hotels in the world, it carries forward a rich legacy. Even a hundred years later, Le Bristol Paris very successfully represents the rich Parisian culture and traditions, making the hotel a landmark in itself. As it marks its centenary, Le Bristol Paris wishes to extend the festivities for the next hundred years. Throughout the year, Le Bristol will have surprises for the palace’s guests, allowing themselves to experience moments of wonder during their stay in this historic haven, the home of savoir faire.
To mark the occasion, Le Bristol Paris has donned its finery, unveiling a new visual identity on even the smallest everyday objects. In a historic first, the master candle maker Cire Trudon has created a custom fragrance for a hotel. In partnership with the hotel, a unique scent has been created that embodies the palace’s essence. Composed of white musk, vetiver, and cedar, this fragrance— available as a candle and a room spray—will permeate the hotel throughout the 365 days of 2025. To add to the festive atmosphere, a vinyl record, bearing Le Bristol Paris’s colours, captures a jazz ambiance that traces the last ten decades of music. These ten tracks, emblematic of their eras.
In any celebration, the role of food cannot be forgotten. So, to mark this special celebration, hotel’s Chef Arnaud Faye has curated haute cuisine for the guests, where plant-based elements and citrus notes are at the heart of the menu. Each dish is a surprise, a tribute to our culinary art, where every bite reflects a century of passion, expertise, and boldness.
The heart of the whole centenary celebration lies in the gorgeous renovation of its most iconic suites. Two of the hotel’s most luxe suites have been magnificently renovated under the direction of Elvira and Narcisa Oetker. The Signature Honeymoon Suite, nestled under the rooftops with a view of the Eiffel Tower, features a pristine contemporary design. A fresco by Dimitri Rybaltchenko, inspired by the myth of Eros and Psyche, takes this romantic haven to new heights. Meanwhile, the Imperial Suite’s redesign pays homage to the American painter George Condo, a frequent guest who has transformed the suite into his atelier. For the first time, Condo has collaborated on the decoration of a hotel suite, showcasing carefully selected and custom-made artworks. The space has been reimagined as a collector’s apartment, where arresting colors and intimate portraits create an atmosphere of refined artistry. The suite harmonizes green tones with the hotel’s private garden, blending heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design to embody the pinnacle of architecture and decorative arts.
Amidst all the grandeur, life in these exceptional suites—like all rooms at the palace—flows with refined ease. Guests can relax on plush sofas dressed in the special 100th-anniversary capsule collection by Le Bristol Paris x Sporty & Rich or stroll down Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré wearing the Bristol Society cap, part of the hotel’s coverable first ready-to-wear collection.
For a truly unique experience, guests can enjoy an evening of family fun with LeBristol Paris’ very own edition of Cluedo, the first-ever hotel version of the iconic board game. Set in the 1930s, this version replaces murder with a whimsical cat hunt. Socrate, the hotel’s resident beloved Birman mascot, has disappeared! Investigators must use clever bait to lure him back, exploring key locations like the Castellane salon, Epicure’s kitchen, and the gourmet shop. This playful game promises laughter and connection—the perfect recipe for extraordinary daily life, championed by Le Bristol Paris.
