Cheval Blanc Paris, opened by LVMH in 2021 on the Right Bank beside Pont Neuf, is the most contemporary of Sikovia's Paris palaces. Peter Marino's interiors reinterpret Art Deco rather than recreate it, and the defining feature is the river: room categories are named for what they overlook, from the Louvre colonnade and Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Tower. The key count is small, stays are planned with a dedicated team before arrival, and the restaurants make it as much a dinner destination as a place to sleep.
Editorial assessmentCheval Blanc is Sikovia's contemporary Paris pick and the only one directly on the Seine. Le Bristol, Crillon, the George V and Plaza Athénée are classic palaces in the 8th arrondissement; La Réserve is similarly intimate but traditional. Choose Cheval Blanc for river views and modern design.
