Cheval Blanc Paris

Paris looks particularly beautiful from Cheval Blanc. Set above the Seine, within the legendary La Samaritaine, this intimate Maison brings together the finest elements of Parisian life: remarkable design, exceptional gastronomy, beautiful views and the pleasure of taking your time. With just 72 rooms and suites, interiors by Peter Marino and an extraordinary attention to detail, the experience feels wonderfully personal.
