Le Bristol is the Parisian landmark that is engulfed in luxury, best for those looking for inner-city elegance. It is located in Paris's 8th arrondissement, wrapping the corner of the infamous Rue Faubourg Saint-Honoré, meaning that the Champs-Élysée is on your doorstep, the Parc Monceau a mere wander away and the Grand Palais your local gallery. The rooms mediate between elaborate and traditional, though all follow a blue and pink colour scheme. If you don't nab a suite with Eiffel Tower views, the other accommodations boast glimpses onto the flower-filled courtyard.
