Le Bar du Bristol
Champs-Élysées & Madeleine
Le Bristol's curiosity-cabinet bar, Maxime Hoerth, first bartender awarded Meilleur Ouvrier de France (2011).
Royal Monceau's Philippe Starck-designed long bar, Forbes Travel Guide Star Bars 2025 pick on Avenue Hoche.
Le Bar Long sits inside Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris on Avenue Hoche, a hundred metres from the Étoile. Philippe Starck broke the convention of the hotel-bar counter by installing a single long high table running through the centre of the room, mirrored screens, dimmed lighting, design armchairs, that reframed how the room reads. The cocktail card pairs reinvented French classics with travel-themed signatures; small plates and tapas keep the format between drink and dinner. Recognised in Forbes Travel Guide's Star Bars Awards 2025 alongside fifty-seven establishments worldwide. Regulars use Le Bar Long for the discreet Étoile-side meeting drink, the post-Salle Pleyel nightcap, and the alternative palace-hotel bar when the Bristol and the Plaza are booked solid.
The long central table is the Starck signature, sit at it, not the side banquettes, for the room read. Tapas pair with the cocktail spec.
