What do dogs want from a hotel? Probably one with a resident cat – this press release just came in from Hotel Le Bristol in Paris…

The ‘Palace of Paris’ at last has its prince: Hotel le Bristol welcomes Fa-raon, the city’s most glamorous pet

True to its reputation as a family hotel, Le Bristol Paris has announced a new permanent guest: Fa-raon, a Sacré kitten from Burma, born on 24th May 2010.

Majestic in looks and stately in gait, Fa-raon strolls around this Parisian landmark with the confidence and attitude of a regular. He is perfectly at home in the hotel; already part of the furniture – playing in the lobby, wandering through the hotel’s famous garden, and enjoying the attention of staff and guests.

A genuine friend and playmate of children visitors to Le Bristol, the kitten contributes to its family atmosphere – unquestionably one of the key values of this exceptional hotel.

Calm and affectionate, Fa-raon makes perfect company and is happy to join in the action, whether you’re reading a novel in the hotel bar or sipping a glass of wine in the courtyard garden.
