Cheval Blanc Paris is one of the city’s most compelling ultra-luxury openings, bringing a fresh, design-led sensibility to a landmark Seine-side address in the 1st arrondissement. Set at 8 quai du Louvre, the hotel places you in the cultural heart of Paris, with the Louvre nearby and the river on your doorstep, while select suites open up to some of the most coveted views in the city, including Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower.
Inside, the mood is contemporary and polished, with interiors by Peter Marino that feel warm rather than formal. The hotel has just 72 rooms and suites, creating a sense of privacy and calm that is rare in central Paris, and many accommodation types are exceptionally generous in size. Entry-level rooms start at 45m², while larger suite categories range from 100m² to 105m², and the most impressive duplex suite offers a dramatic 650sqm layout with multiple bedrooms and expansive entertaining space.
The rooms are designed for lingering, with large windows, elegant living areas, dressing rooms and marble bathrooms that typically feature a bathtub and walk-in hammam-style shower. In the higher categories, guests can enjoy balcony or river-facing options, and some suites are configured for families or friends, with connecting possibilities and twin-bed arrangements on request. The result is accommodation that feels more like a private Paris residence than a conventional hotel stay.
Facilities are equally persuasive. There is a Dior Spa for serious downtime, alongside a swimming pool, hammam, sauna, treatment room and fitness suite, so the hotel works well for both short city breaks and longer, more indulgent stays. Dining is another highlight, with breakfast served at Le Tout-Paris and the hotel also home to Plénitude, the three-Michelin-star gastronomic restaurant by Arnaud Donckele, plus other refined dining and drinking options. It is a superb choice for travellers who want Paris at its most stylish, with exceptional service, standout views and a true sense of occasion.
