Paris, France’s capital and the centre of art, fashion, food and culture is home to landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Notre Dame Cathedral. This shopping haven of designer boutiques and quaint café culture carries with it proudly the names ‘the city of love’ and the ‘city of lights.’
Located in the heart of this historic and romantic city, lies the new and contemporary Cheval Blanc Paris. In front of the Pont Neuf, between the Louvre and Le Marais, this hotel’s strategic location on the Left Bank, overlooks the River Seine. Opening its doors recently on September 7, 2021, Cheval Blanc Paris invites discerning guests to one of the world’s most amorous destinations.
The historical building has adopted a contemporary feel with a strong sense of Art Deco heritage, a tribute to French savoir-faire and craftsmanship. Home to 72 rooms and suites, this scenic retreat where lovers, family and friends meet, offers so much to any discerning guest. The creativity of Peter Marino brings to you spacious havens of tranquillity, with a warm and cosy atmosphere. Some rooms have floor-to-ceiling bay windows while others offer private balconies with panoramic views for you to admire the distinctive iconic landmarks, and take in gleaming views of the Seine.
Every room enjoys the attentive service of a Majordome on hand 24/7 to meet your every need, and no expense is spared in presenting scented amenities by Parisian Chic Poudré and Parisian Chic Boisé, including Cheval Blanc Paris’ signature fragrances created by François Demachy, Maison Dior’s perfumer.
Four restaurants and bars orchestrate an authentic passion for flavours with boldness and creativity, as guests choose to indulge in the many culinary offerings by Chef Arnaud Donckele, Chef Enrico Buonocore and Chef Maxime Frédéric, as well as enjoy cocktails by Head Barman, Florian Thireau. Carved by artist Etienne Moyat, the Château Chavel Blanc’s backdrop to its wine cellar elevates fine bottles of rarest vintages. Guided by a Bacchanalian Trio, the quest for the perfect pairing opens up new horizons with wines from around the world.
For the explorer, adventure awaits just a few steps away, inviting guests to stroll along the riverbank of the Seine, get lost in the narrow streets of Marais, experience the Parisian way of life and swing to the rhythm of the effervescent atmosphere, whilst embracing all that the city has to offer. The dedicated Ambassadeurs of Cheval Blanc Paris look forward to designing an exquisite stay of discoveries as they curate an authentic Parisian journey that includes sights and sounds that are timeless and memorable.
