The story of Coco Chanel living at the Ritz Paris for over 30 years, discreetly using the staff entrance on Rue Cambon, has acquired something of a mythic status. Nearly a century later, this legendary tale has inspired a new trend in luxury hospitality—hotels and their amenities inspired by fashion legends.

These designer-branded hotels maintain the same high caliber of quality that the luxury brands represent—from impeccable service and stylish interiors to similar aesthetics and a guest experience that gives the same satisfying feeling from high-quality fashion brands themselves.

Under LVMH Hotel Management, the Cheval Blanc Paris is one of the most luxurious hotels in Paris today, with 72 rooms and views that overlook a stunning panoramic scene of Paris. Just steps away from the Seine, the hotel is situated in the historic La Samaritaine building, a former high-end fashion department store founded in 1870. 

Within the hotel is the Dior Spa, a collaboration between the hotel and the fashion house that elevates skincare with holistic approaches. The spa offers six suites, each reflecting a facet of the House of Dior. 

For instance, the Sauvage Suite offers a warm quartz ritual, using alpha quartz chips that mold to the body for both mental and physical relaxation. The Dior Light Suite, embodying Paris as the “City of Light,” utilizes innovative light therapy. Other popular treatments include Sapphire Crystal Micro-Abrasion and Dior Reverse Aging Therapy.

After a relaxing spa treatment, guests can indulge in the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Plénitude, led by chef Arnaud Donckele.

Cheval Blanc Paris is located at 8 Quai du Louvre 75001 Paris, France. Contact at +33 (0)1 40 28 00 00

The spa features rooms with upholstery in the iconic Christian Dior fabric pattern. In addition to individual treatment rooms, there’s a floor dedicated to hydrotherapy and infratherapy suites.

The Oetker Collection has a long history dating back to 1872 when Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa first opened then was later purchased by Rudolf August Oetker in 1941. 

This was just the beginning of the hotelier’s journey in Europe. In 1964, Oetker spotted Hotel du Cap while sailing in the Mediterranean, which he eventually purchased and renamed. He was also responsible for acquiring Le Bristol Paris. 

At present, the Oetker Collection comprises 12 top-tier luxury hotels and more than 150 private villas worldwide.

Continuing its drive to enhance the guest experience, the Oetker Collection collaborated with New York-based womenswear brand La Ligne in November 2023. This partnership resulted in the hotel’s first-ever branded pajamas, offering guests a chic and stylish high-quality sleepwear collection.
