Festivities At Their Finest This holiday season, Le Bristol Paris captivates the five senses with its art, wellness, and cuisine presentations.
The holiday season is truly a unique time of year. At Le Bristol Paris, inspirations for the upcoming festivities comprise the ultimate in the artforms of French gastronomy. With decorations by Studio Björg, the storied hotel will envelop the five senses. Expect an artfully conjured winter scene decked in red, white and gold, stretching from Le Bristol’s facade to its legendary lobby and corridors. Within these spaces, quintessential Christmas trees and wreaths are matched in elegance only by a grand ‘tree of life’ installation at the heart of the lobby. At Epicure, sculptor Ulderico Pinfildi crafts a Neapolitan nativity setting, in tune with Le Bristol’s stellar style of hospitality and traditions of gifting.

From exclusive yule log cakes to a premier advent calendar (pictured above), desserts and chocolates take centre stage at Le Bristol Paris. The latter is a recreation of the hotel’s facade and contains chocolate delicacies by Chef Johan Giacchetti and his team at the hotel’s onsite chocolaterie. Adding to these are curated gift box sets, prepared by L’Epicerie des Ateliers du Bristol’s team. The ‘Christmas in Paris’ box consists of a bottle of Alfred Gratien champagne and a selection of house-made delights to enhance the holiday table. For dessert aficionados, the ‘Sweet Epicerie’ box features an ensemble of traditional sweets such as a stollen, a fruit jam of choice, honey and other festive accoutrements. Gift boxes are available for online order and are guaranteed to satisfy even the most exacting of palates. These festive presentations
