These hotels have incorporated some of the world’s most luxurious fashion brands into their properties
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.
The Dior Spa at Cheval Blanc Paris
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.

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.
