With 12 palaces on the clock, Paris has some of the most beautiful hotels in the world. Carried by the romanticism characteristic of the capital and a typically French prestige, these settings are enhanced by their elegant rooms decorated by the greatest designers, their gourmet restaurants and their spas, synonymous with unfailing calm.
The White Horse
Opened with great fanfare in 2021 in La Samaritaine, the Cheval Blanc quickly ranked among the most beautiful hotels in Paris. Under the leadership of the giant LVMH, which had already opened luxury establishments in St Tropez and Courchevel, this Parisian palace overlooks the Seine and the Pont Neuf in the 1st arrondissement. The setting designed by architect Peter Marino has only 72 rooms, including 46 suites, which are distinguished by their surface area: no less than 45m2 for the first keys. The Art Deco spirit emanates from both sides of this confidential haven of peace, carried by the elegance and purity characterized by Bernard Arnault's firm.
Well known to epicureans, the gastronomic offer largely respects the high-end refinement of the hotel. Awarded three stars, Plénitude presents dishes of absolute finesse designed by Arnaud Donckele, who makes a point of honoring the refinement of his…sauces! Another starred restaurant: Le Tout-Paris which fits into the trendy category of contemporary brasseries. Lovers of Italian cuisine will head to Langosteria while fans of Japanese flavors will book Hakuba, opened a few months ago and led by Japanese chef Takuya Watanabe.
And it really took a large luxury house to enhance the spa. The mission was given to Dior (which also belongs to LVMH). The wellness area is remarkable with its large 30-meter swimming pool rippled with handcrafted mosaics by Michael Mayer.
