2. Le Bristol: Paris, France

Le Bristol is Paris as you’ve dreamt it: a (literal) palatial setting, with 13,000-foot courtyard gardens, brightly lit rooms and suites with gilded decor. Not to mention four Michelin stars among its onsite eateries, all under chef Eric Frechon (three stars for Epicure, reopening October 1, and one for 114 Faubourg, reopening August 30). Often regarded as Paris’ top hotel, period, Le Bristol is just off Avenue des Champs Elysées, near the Grand Palais (read: prime walking distance to the city’s most storied attractions). The jewel on this crown is the indoor rooftop pool, which offers expansive views of the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre. (It’s also part of Spa Le Bristol, featuring Russian Banïya treatments, a private couples’ suite, plus products from La Prairie.) It’s one of Paris’ dozen “Palace Hotels,” a distinction awarded based on historical merit, grandeur, world-class hospitality, beauty, gastronomy, and more 5-star standards. Oh, and watch for the furry Fa-Raon, Le Bristol’s fixture Burmese feline, in the lobby or garden. Of the hotel’s many famed guests, he’s perhaps the most beloved of them all.
