Le Bar du Bristol

Le Bar du Bristol occupies a chic corner of the Faubourg Saint-Honoré palace hotel — a curiosity-cabinet room with a Thierry Bruet tapestry on the back wall, oak floors, silk curtains and a marble fireplace, designed to feel like a literary den rather than a hotel lobby. Head bartender Maxime Hoerth was the first bartender ever to be awarded the Meilleur Ouvrier de France title (2011) for his discipline on classic specs and originals; the cocktail list runs through signatures with named precise measures. A Forbes Travel Guide / Time Out fixture and one of Paris's most-cited hotel bars on every credible list. Yazlıkçı readers use Le Bar du Bristol as the Faubourg-Saint-Honoré apéritif before Epicure, the post-shopping nightcap and the airport-to-dinner room when the ticket is large.
