The 5-star palace hotel Le Bristol Paris is a legend in the French capital. It's located in the heart of the metropolis, right at its pulse. And yet it offers exceptionally quiet rooms and suites. These underwent extensive renovation just two years ago. Today, the building, originally opened in 1758, is the only Paris 5-star hotel in European hands. Here, guests experience a special art experience now. For the hotel honors the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, who died 50 years ago, with an extraordinary arrangement.

Homage to a master

The connection between the Spaniard Picasso and the French capital is a strong one. He came to the city as early as 1904 and met his lover Fernande Olivier. He moved in the artistic avant-garde. Thus, Henri Matisse and George Braque were among his regular visits. In occupied Paris he found a kind of refuge. However, he wasn't allowed to exhibit or sell his art. But he was allowed to work; more than 2200 paintings were created between 1937 and 1945 alone.

When Picasso died in 1973 in Mougins/France, he was already considered one of the most famous painters in the world. His total oeuvre is estimated at over 50,000 pieces. Among them paintings, drawings, ceramics, sculptures and collages. One of his works, Maison à Juan Les Pins from 1931, hangs in the Deluxe Junior Suite of Hotel Le Bristol Paris now. This way, it provides a special art experience here.

Fréchon breakfast

The loan from the Opéra Galerie is the pièce de résistance of an extraordinary arrangement. From now on, guests can book an overnight stay for two in a deluxe suite. Afterwards, they enjoy the Le Bristol breakfast with a view of Picasso's masterpiece. Although this really does attract everyone's attention, it's also worth lowering your gaze to the plates every now and then.

Because the generous breakfast is also a masterpiece. Its creator: none other than Éric Fréchon. The three Michelin star chef conjures up soft-boiled eggs with maple syrup and caviar. It's accompanied by blinis with smoked salmon and a well-stocked basket of homemade fresh pastries. A seasonal fruit salad concludes the breakfast. Of course, the culinary-artistic composition also includes a glass of the finest champagne.
