Famous artists and crowned heads have walked through the doors of this
hotel and through the pages of this book. Here you meet them again: from Rubinstein to Puccini, from the Khedive of Egypt to the Prince of Wales, who secretly arrived with his great love, Wallis Simpson. Today, the Prince of Wales Suite bears witness to this wonderful romance. We meet the Generals of the CIS forces during the occupation after the Second World War, and the conductors of the most famous orchestras in the world, among them Herbert von Karajan and Leonhard Bernstein. Last but not least we enter the world of the finest chefs of Europe, including Reinhard Gerer, who perform their art here at the Bristol.
