37 PA R I S · F R A N C E LE BRISTOL PARIS T he textbook example of French sophistication for the past twenty years, Le Bristol Paris is at the forefront of luxury hotels the world over. Neighboring the fabled Élysée Palace, Le Bristol feels like an extension of iconic Parisian elegance by way of its luxe atmosphere and furniture within the palace-sized rooms. Couple the abode with the multiple Michelin- star clad eateries found on the first floor offering fine French cuisine, and living like royalty is suddenly simple. One such reason Le Bristol is near synonymous with Parisian elegance is its dedication to the cutting edge of design—their latest partnership is proof of that. Radical pop artist Bertand Lavier has been invited to make his mark on the hotel, providing a wealth of vibrant art to enjoy on the hotel grounds. Brilliant sculptures have sprung up in the classical gardens, bringing a splash of color to the greenery. Guests are also invited to stay in the Paris Suite, which has become a ‘live-in’ art exhibit of Lavier’s vision. Surreal hues of vibrant technicolor adorn the space, from the walls to the minimalist modern furniture. Living within Lavier’s work for the duration of your stay is as close as you can hope to be to a work of art.
