Back to hotels in Paris

A mansion is built during the First Empire. In 1829, the descendants of the Countess of Damas sell it to an eccentric patron of the arts, Count Jules de Castellane. His imagination is boundless: Ionic columns, Corinthian pilasters and decorative falls are built ... not forgetting a theatre dedicated to young artists capable of seating 400 people!

The saga of the Bristol continues after the Second Empire with the Jammet family. After François, chef at the illustrious Café de Paris, it is his son Hippolyte's turn to take over. In 1925, he builds a hotel on the site. Hippolyte baptizes it the Bristol, in homage to one of the greatest travellers of the 18th century, Frederik Augustus Hervey, Count of Bristol. In 1978, the Bristol was acquired by the Société OETKER, owner of the Cap Eden Roc in Antibes, the Park Hotel in Vitznau (Switzerland), the Brenner's Park Hotel in Baden Baden (Germany) and the Château du Domaine Saint-Martin in Vence.
