Le Bristol Paris – Warm Elegance and a Star Turn in Midnight in Paris
If the Ritz is “legend” and George V is “art,” then Le Bristol is the epitome of warm elegance.
Often called “the most French of all Parisian hotels,” Le Bristol Paris has been a beloved icon since its opening in 1925. For nearly a century, it has charmed Parisian high society, artists, and international travelers alike.
Among Parisian palace hotels, Le Bristol is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, its enchanting secret garden, and the world-class three-Michelin-star restaurant, Epicure.

Le Bristol on the Silver Screen – Midnight in Paris
Woody Allen’s film Midnight in Paris features several of the city’s most glamorous hotels and restaurants. Among them is Le Bristol Paris.
In one memorable scene, the characters Gil (Owen Wilson) and Inez (Rachel McAdams) enjoy dinner at Epicure. The glittering chandeliers, classical French table settings, and elegant salon décor are showcased so vividly that fans have since created their own “Bristol Tours.”
For audiences worldwide, the film positioned Le Bristol not just as a hotel but as a symbol of Paris’s luxurious present—a must-visit for travelers seeking cinematic romance.
