[1] Located on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Le Bristol Paris emerged as one of the top Parisian hotels by 1877, when ex-president Ulysses S. Grant and his entourage stayed there for five weeks during his post-presidency world tour.

Hippolyte Jammet succeeded in keeping his hotel and worked to maintain its prestige during the war, carrying out renovation projects as well as maintenance.

With the opening of boutiques such as Lanvin and Christian Lacroix, the hotel was frequented by clients such as Charlie Chaplin, Rita Hayworth and other celebrities.

Oetker began extension work in the 1980s, which included expansion of the hotel's rooms, restoration of the garden, and a 6th-floor swimming pool with views of the Parisian skyline.

In 2007, Le Bristol acquired the building next door; this purchase allowed the hotel to become more prominent on the corner of avenue Matignon and rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

[citation needed] In 2009, the Matignon Residence, Le Bristol's renovation of the building next door, was unveiled with an additional twenty-one rooms, five suites, and a new restaurant, 114 Faubourg.

The amenities include a La Prairie Spa, a pool viewing the Sacré-Cœur, Paris, and a fitness centre.

The signature decor is the toile de Jouy, which includes classic patterned furnishings and floral motifs.
