What’s the vibe at Cheval Blanc?
Between the Pont des Arts and the Pont Neuf, a five-star hotel casts a shadow over the City of Light. With rooms that are bright, airy and almost all overlooking the Seine through large bay windows, the Paris address of the Cheval Blanc group (also in Courchevel, the Maldives and Saint-Tropez) is nothing short of dazzling.
Its sun-catching interior in pale tones, from sand to off-white, perfectly matches the building’s monumental Art Deco façade. In terms of décor, it feels like a design museum: you can literally sit on furniture by Maria Pergay or Charlotte Perriand, facing canvases by Sonia Delaunay.
What else will I find at Cheval Blanc?
In the Dior spa, there’s an infinity pool beneath a mirrored wall dizzying to look at, a sauna, hammam, and snow shower (yes, really). The height of chic: here, the staff (called ‘ambassadors’) are dressed by Patou.
Another draw of this hotel you’ve got the kids in tow is how incredibly family-friendly it is. There’s the hotel’s stunning on-site crèche Le Carrousel, a treasure hunt to book onto, and a Dior collection for the very little ones of very posh linen, toys and the likes.
