Riding the gilded glass and gold elevator over a lobby of 200-year-old marble and vases of fresh roses, you somehow don’t feel like an imposter.

Le Bristol boasts some of the city’s most luxurious amenities, including a stunning wood and glass rooftop Le Bristol boasts some of the city’s most luxurious amenities, including a stunning wood and glass rooftop pool that’s one of the prettiest we’ve ever seen. On the same floor, the luxurious Spa Le Bristol offers a range of services utilizing products from acclaimed French skincare brand La Prairie.

But one of Le Bristol’s best perks is surely its in-house restaurant, Epicure. Helmed by four Michelin star chef Eric Frechon, this classic French restaurant has long been one of the most acclaimed in the city. Its achingly elegant location, in the hotel’s formal dining room overlooking its romantic central gardens, cements Epicure as worth a splurge. Reservations are also easier to snag as a guest at the hotel.
