What’s the Buzz About Céleste?
So, what exactly is Céleste? Imagine a place in Paris where the boundaries between sky and city blur, where you can dine under the stars yet remain enveloped in the warm embrace of luxury. Céleste is a marvel of modern design and timeless elegance: a transparent bubble gracefully alighted on the rooftop of Cheval Blanc Paris. Here, beneath a crystalline vault, about thirty seats offer a sanctuary from the bustle below, inviting guests into a cozy, intimate atmosphere. It’s a space where the celestial and the terrestrial meet, creating an ethereal experience that’s both grounding and elevating.
Inside this luxurious bubble, the essence of Céleste unfolds. The meticulously crafted menu, a testament to the expertise of Cheval Blanc Paris’ sommeliers, features rare spirits that tell stories of heritage and craftsmanship. Each sip is a journey through time and tradition—a taste of the extraordinary. Complementing these liquid narratives are the culinary masterpieces by Chef Takuya Watanabe. His finger-food creations, from delicate temakis to flavorful gunkans, offer a taste of refined indulgence, perfectly pairing with your celestial libations.
