Swimming pool at Cheval Blanc Paris Alexandre Tabaste By night, the restaurant transforms into a swanky bar lead by Florian Thireau, a top mixologist and author of The Cocktail Book. The chef’s true genius is understood only after tasting his signature Pont-Neuf Croissant with melted ham and Comté cheese, followed by his Pear ‘Douillon’ covered in a flaky crust. Limbar, the most casual of all the eateries, gives the impression of an upscale bistro and takes its cue from Pastry Chef Maxime Frédéric. Meanwhile, Chef Arnaud Donckele – awarded three Michelin stars at Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez’s restaurant La Vague d'Or – invites diners into French gastronomy dictated by broths, creams, vinaigrettes and veloutés at Plénitude. ‘We are an Italian fine-dining restaurant specialising in fish and finding products from wherever we like (especially in Italy, of course),’ shares CEO Enrico Buonocore. Next door to seventh-floor brasserie Le Tout-Paris, Langosteria (the first to open outside of Milan) entices with its Italian cuisine, playful ambiance and buzzing energy. What doesn’t surprise is how omnipresent LVMH brands are, from the gold-buttoned uniforms by Patou to the subterranean spa helmed by Dior. Elegant, austere, unique,’ shares Marino.

‘I wanted everything to be new and unexpected. The first hotel project by architect Peter Marino, who’s no stranger to the LVMH brand, was to create a destination that would surprise.

Cheval Blanc Randheli in the Maldives was Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy's second hotel, followed by France’s ritzy settings of St Barths and Saint-Tropez. And so began a tradition of blending local architecture with timeless elegance to create some of the world’s most exclusive properties, where attention to detail is paramount. Named after an LVMH-owned vineyard in France’s prestigious wine region of Saint-Emilion, the brand’s hotel group Cheval Blanc Maison was born in the upscale ski resort town of Courchevel in 2006.
