39 rooms All over the world, there are unique properties that offer a one-of-a-kind visit that enhances your travel experience. In addition, each property offers you superior luxury and customer service. Since 1954, Relais & Chateaux has aimed to promote these boutique hotels and resorts to travelers looking for the very best in hospitality and fine dining. As of today, they have around 580 properties under the brand, all spread out across 64 countries worldwide. Each of these properties is independently owned and operated yet displays the hotel chain’s commitment to excellent service, quality dining, sustainability, respect for local communities, and superior luxury. Take a look at some of the boutique hotels available to Relais & Chateaux members.
Relais & Chateaux was established in France in 1954 and has since amassed a collection of some of the finest boutique properties throughout Europe. Each of these properties, while still independently operated and serviced, has met the criteria to become part of the Relais & Chateaux brand. For example, lovers of history can travel to the Loire Valley in the heart of France and stay in a restored 13th-century chateau. Restored to its original 17th-century décor, members can stay in any of the hotel’s 20 elegant rooms and enjoy modern spa facilities or stroll among the estate’s sprawling gardens and woodlands. Alternatively, fans of classic art may wish to stay at a restored 17th-century Normandy farm where impressionist painters such as Monet and Courbet were inspired by the local scenery.
These are just a few examples of the fine quality found at a Relais & Chateaux property. Beyond the French countryside, there are even more unique properties offering superior luxury. Visit the scenic vineyards in Portugal's Alentejo region and stay in one of 32 luxury suites and villas that offer a relaxing stay far from busy city life. Or take a trip to the mountain slopes of Crans-Montana in Switzerland and stay in a beautiful mountain chalet overlooking the Swiss Alps. Perhaps travel to Italy’s stunning Amalfi Coast and stay in a luxury hotel that mixes modern and traditional Italian styles. Here, you can take a stroll through elegant terraced gardens that overlook the blue waters of the Mediterranean. These are just a few of the unique properties you can experience as a member of the Relais & Chateaux chain.
Relais & Chateaux offers luxury accommodations in 64 countries spread over six continents. For an example of an American Relais & Chateaux property, explore the vineyards of Napa Valley for a secluded getaway with gorgeous hillside views and gourmet dining utilizing local ingredients. Or take a trip to Newfoundland’s Fogo Island and enjoy a stay in a remote yet modern inn overlooking the bay where you can sample local delicacies and experience the local nature and culture of the island. Head to the Caribbean island of St. Lucia and stay in a beautiful beachfront property in a tropical resort complete with private beach access. Or, if you want to get even closer to nature, visit an eco-lodge and spa located within the cloud forests in the central highlands of Costa Rica and witness the unique plant life and wildlife of the region.
Elsewhere from Europe and the Americas, many other Relais & Chateaux properties offer their own unique boutique stays and experiences. Perhaps you would like to stay in a five-star lodge nestled within South Africa’s Greater Kruger Park and experience your own private safari, visiting elephants and other local wildlife. Alternatively, you can enjoy a traditional ryokan experience in the historical Japanese city of Kyoto, a quiet stay in a country estate overlooking Palliser Bay in New Zealand, or relax in a bungalow built over the lagoon waters surrounding the Polynesian island of Bora Bora. No matter where you choose to go in the world, you can find a Relais & Chateaux property to offer you a memorable and unique experience.
Throughout the world, Relais & Chateaux not only aims to promote the most elegant and luxurious boutique hotels, spas, restaurants and resorts available but also the most unique. This includes experiences, accommodations, and locations that are unique to that location and cannot be found elsewhere. To qualify for status as a Relais & Chateaux, a property must fulfill each part of the “five C” motto: character, courtesy, calm, charm, and cuisine.
