At $1,500 a Night, Cheval Blanc Paris Is LVMH’s Newest Bauble

Paris has no shortage of exquisite hotels—the $1,565-a-night Four Seasons George V, the contemporary Hôtel de Crillon, and Princess Diana’s favorite, the fairytale-like Ritz—but even in this rarefied air, few convey luxury quite like the new Cheval Blanc, which opened on Sept. 7.

A showstopping 100-foot infinity pool in the hotel’s basement level is one of the largest of any hotel in France; its deck is lined with digital panels that display animated illustrations of the Seine. The top-floor apartment, among the largest penthouses in Paris at 11,000 square feet, has its own 41-foot pool, projection space, and panoramic terrace.
