"1st arrondissement A luxurious ménage of quintessential Parisian views (thanks to its prime location on the Left Bank of the Seine, just steps from The Louvre), indulgent facilities—including a curved infinity pool, as well as an intricate marble hammam—and a family-friendly attitude at its heart, the Cheval Blanc is the ideal address for young globetrotters and their discerning parents. Though the City of Light awaits outside, inside, beyond the refined chaise longues of the lobby, another discovery is to be made: Le Carrousel, an enchanted kingdom for play, dreamt up by sailor Maud Fontenoy, especially for the Maison’s youngest guests. Le Carrousel sets the stage for children to uncover the wonders of nature, and for budding explorers to set off on authentic Parisian adventures, all under the watchful eye of dedicated Ambassadeurs. Outside of this indoor playground, all manner of other family-orientated activities can be arranged, from treasure hunts to guided tours and workshops. And to remember it all? Cheval Blanc Paris has partnered with none other than Maison Christian Dior to design a charming collection of elegant baby bedding and gifts, especially for the hotel’s littlest guests. —Anya Meyerowitz" - Luciana Bellini
