"  Le Bristol Paris, the Grand Hotel on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor\u00E9, nestled among art galleries and shops, including the original Lanvin and Herm\u00E8s boutiques (it was also one of Woody Allen&amp;#039;s locations for Midnight in Paris), recently opened Le Bar, a sanctum of sophistication designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon. Blond wood, gold accents, and a graceful Aubusson tapestry soften the stark lines of the &amp;quot;Giacometti&amp;quot; bar stools; a smoky mirror above the bar doubles as a screen for video installations; a burnished crowd of international bankers, gallerinas, and rakish journalists cements the impression that the spirit of the Ritz, currently closed for renovations, has decamped for the 8th Arrondissement.&amp;quot;The team from the Hemingway Bar has reconvened here,&amp;quot; says Roman Devaux, blue-eyed bartender extraordinaire, as he mixes me another bewitching elixir, this one verdant with basil and mint, immaculate ice cubes snug in a silver tumbler. He and Maxime Hoerth, who was awarded Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2011 (the first mixologist to win this famous &amp;quot;best craftsman&amp;quot; contest, which considers all m\u00E9tiers), are masters of the subtle cocktail: an Old Fashioned with notes of coffee bean and maple syrup; the Heartbreaker, a delicate emulsion of Granny Smith and essence of lime. Palm fronds are bathed in the twitchy amber of the fireplace; a financier lets slip that he lives in the Bristol; a soign\u00E9e lady sips champagne alone, and all seems right in the world.
