Press kit for the Grand Hôtel Bristol ****, Colmar Located in the heart of Colmar, the Grand Hôtel Bristol is an ideal place to immerse yourself in Alsatian culture. This establishment built at the beginning of the 20th century offers a subtle blend of tradition, elegance and modernity. Both cosy and inviting for tourists and an ideal venue for business and other events, the hotel is an ideal half-way house between work and relaxation.
