Cheval Blanc Paris

Cheval Blanc occupies the Art Deco half of the Samaritaine on the Seine, and its seventy-two rooms and suites almost all look at the river. Plénitude holds three Michelin stars; the Dior Spa runs the length of a floor and ends at a 30-metre pool lit like a private cinema. The Pont Neuf is a minute away, the Louvre five.
