With 12 palaces to its name, Paris boasts some of the finest hotels in the world. Boasting the capital’s characteristic romanticism and typically French prestige, these jewels are enhanced by their elegant rooms decorated by the greatest designers, their gourmet restaurants and their spas, synonymous with unfailing calm.
Le Cheval Blanc
Opened with great fanfare in 2021 in the Samaritaine, the Cheval Blanc has quickly become one of the most beautiful hotels in Paris. Under the stewardship of the giant LVMH, which has already opened luxury establishments in St Tropez and Courchevel, this Parisian palace overlooks the Seine and the Pont Neuf in the 1st arrondissement. Designed by architect Peter Marino, the hotel has just 72 rooms, including 46 suites, all of which are distinguished by their size: the first keys are no less than 45m2. The Art Deco spirit emanates throughout this confidential haven of peace, carried by the characteristic elegance and purity of Bernard Arnault’s firm.

Well-known to epicureans, the hotel’s gastronomic offering is very much in keeping with its top-of-the-range refinement. Awarded three stars, Plénitude offers dishes of absolute finesse thought up by Arnaud Donckele, who makes a point of honour of the refinement of his…sauces! Another Michelin-starred restaurant is Le Tout-Paris, which fits into the trendy category of contemporary brasseries. Lovers of Italian cuisine will want to head to Langosteria, while lovers of Japanese flavours will want to book Hakuba, opened a few months ago and led by Japanese chef Takuya Watanabe.

And a major luxury house was needed to enhance the spa. Dior (also owned by LVMH) was given the task. The wellness area is remarkable, with its 30-metre pool undulating with hand-crafted mosaics by Michael Mayer.
