Relais & Châteaux

Relais & Châteaux is an extraordinary collection of 580 exceptional hotels and restaurants worldwide, run by independent entrepreneurs united by shared values and a steadfast commitment to hospitality excellence.

Founded in France in 1954, the Association is currently present in 65 countries, celebrating the art de vivre of each unique destination. Guided by passionate hoteliers, chefs, and restaurateurs, these properties cultivate a deep connection to their local areas in their own distinct way, promoting cultural, culinary, and environmental heritage while collaborating with local artisans.

Mostly family-run, these properties pass down their savoir-faire from generation to generation. Relais & Châteaux thus holds the ultimate potential to deliver unforgettable travel experiences in harmony with the planet.

Sustainability

As members of the Relais & Châteaux Association, our ambition is to inspire travelers to discover the world in the most beautiful way: by being mindful, responsible, and deeply engaged with local communities. We firmly believe that travel and gastronomy rely on nature, and it is our duty to ensure the continuous integrity and vitality of our environment.

Our strategy

The Relais & Châteaux Vision—a manifesto of 20 commitments presented to UNESCO in 2014—is the driving force behind both the Association's initiatives and our own, as members since 1988.
