Cheval Blanc Paris
The Parisian Art of Living
01 November 2026 — Le Monocle Voyageur
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.
THE ROOMS
Choose a Seine-facing suite. The light, the rooftops, the river and the changing colours of Paris make staying in almost as tempting as going out.
THE TABLE
Le Tout-Paris
Start with lunch overlooking the city. Order a classic French dish, enjoy a glass of Champagne and leave plenty of time for the view. The terrace is particularly beautiful at sunset.
Plénitude
A destination in its own right. Arnaud Donckele's three-Michelin-star restaurant celebrates French gastronomy through remarkable ingredients, delicate compositions and his celebrated sauces. Reserve well in advance.
Langosteria
For a more Mediterranean mood, think exceptional seafood, Italian flavours and an elegant evening above Paris.
THE LITTLE EXTRAS
An afternoon at the Dior Spa Cheval Blanc, a swim beneath the magnificent mosaic ceiling of the indoor pool and a leisurely walk along the Seine.
La Samaritaine is just next door for a little Parisian shopping.
