Created in the spirit of family photo album, Cheval Blanc brings to life one of the world’s most exclusive and exceptional hospitality endeavors in intimate, poignant detail – a lasting souvenir to the brand’s properties. Always referred to as “Maisons” and designed as a family home, each hotel has its own identity with absolute privacy and bespoke service to create endless memories.
Cheval Blanc’s journey began in 2006 with the opening of its first chalet in Courchevel, France. Since then, the brand has expanded its legacy across six destinations, with a seventh soon to follow in Sardinia, along the shores of Costa Smeralda. These distinctive establishments are beautifully captured in the Cheval Blanc volume, showcasing the brand’s properties in Courchevel, Randheli, St-Barth, St-Tropez, Paris, and the Seychelles.
These Maisons built by renowned architects such as Jean-Michel Gathy, Jacques Grange, Jean-Michel Wilmotte and Peter Marino, share differences born from their specific histories and location. A family chalet in Courchevel, a Provençal home in Saint-Tropez, a Parisian icon within the historic walls of La Samaritaine—each story is an opportunity to celebrate the soul of a place without altering it, with some signatures a common through- line in all six destinations.
Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury brand on culture. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple's experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives.
Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Throughout the last quarter of a century, the brand has established a network of international boutiques in prominent locations across the globe.
With a distinguished team of creative talents—which includes the founders' son Alexandre—the brand continues to reinvent the notion of true luxury. Assouline’s roster of collaborators includes some of the world’s most respected brands, artists, photographers, writers and designers.
