Set within the restored La Samaritaine on the banks of the Seine, Cheval Blanc Paris is LVMH's Parisian jewel. 72 rooms and suites with Eiffel Tower views, a Dior Spa, and three restaurants including a rooftop by Arnaud Donckele.

Perched on the tip of the Cap-Ferrat peninsula between Nice and Monaco, this legendary palace has defined Riviera glamour since 1908. A 17-acre estate with Mediterranean gardens, the award-winning Spa de La Mer, an Olympic-size infinity pool suspended above the sea, and the Michelin-starred Le Cap restaurant by Geoffrey Degros.
