IHG Hotels & Resorts proudly announces the addition of InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal to its expanding luxury and lifestyle collection, now ranked as the second-largest in the world. This unique property, a splendid representation of 19th-century architecture, is conveniently located just 30 minutes by train from Paris, offering a magical retreat that feels like a world away from the hustle and bustle of the French capital.

Nestled within the scenic forests of Hauts-de-France, InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal harmoniously blends rich historical significance with the breathtaking beauty of northern France. A comprehensive renovation has meticulously restored the building’s original charm while incorporating a sophisticated design that caters to the preferences of today’s discerning luxury travelers.

Olivier Resta, General Manager of InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal said: “It is a great honour to be custodian of InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal – a jewel of French heritage. Now reimagined for today’s modern luxury traveller, InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal is truly a remarkable property and the first countryside destination for the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand. The team and I are thrilled to welcome guests to this individualist property and to connect them with the culture of our remarkable region.”

Constructed in the early 1900s, the original Château Mont Royal showcases the elegance of Louis XVI architecture, designed by the renowned Guillaume Tronchet. The first owner, Fernand Halphen, commissioned this stunning structure to provide his wife with “a view that enchanted her.” Today, guests at InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal can still enjoy this captivating scenery. The hotel features 109 guest rooms and suites, each redesigned to evoke a sense of serenity and sophistication, with interiors inspired by the hotel’s lush surroundings, the region’s equestrian heritage, and the delicate artistry of Chantilly lace. Natural light pours in through large windows, balconies, and terraces, offering picturesque views of the verdant landscape.

Once the site of the château’s music salon, the gourmet restaurant L’Opéra invites diners to experience exquisite cuisine beneath grand chandeliers and soaring ceilings. Le Stradivarius, formerly Halphen’s library and smoking room, has been transformed into a cozy venue perfect for business lunches, romantic dinners, or social gatherings. Both restaurants offer a contemporary take on classic French cuisine, showcasing the region’s exceptional seasonal produce. Chef Cédric Jean-Charles crafts traditional French dishes paired with an impressive selection of fine wines.

Spa Biologique Recherche, in collaboration with the esteemed French skincare brand Biologique Recherche, features a dedicated sauna and wellness rooms. It provides personalized treatments and rejuvenating therapies, including the Skin Instant Lab, which utilizes five advanced sensors to evaluate hydration, elasticity, pigmentation, and more, ensuring treatments are tailored to each guest’s unique skin needs.

Across the globe, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts staff serve as cultural guides, helping guests discover and immerse themselves in the local essence of over 70 countries where the brand operates. Enhancing the Insider Expertise at InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal is The Concierge, who facilitates cultural explorations by introducing guests to unique experiences, such as visits to the historic Chantilly Racetrack, renowned for its equestrian legacy, or the exceptional private art collection at the Château de Chantilly.

Chantilly, located in the scenic Oise region of Northern France just 50 kilometers from Paris, enchants visitors with its rich history, cultural treasures, and natural landscapes. The crown jewel is the stunning Château de Chantilly, a Renaissance masterpiece surrounded by expansive gardens and the peaceful Chantilly Forest. Known worldwide for its equestrian culture, Chantilly hosts prestigious horse races and showcases equine training at the Living Museum of the Horse. A quick train ride from Paris leads to this charming destination, ideal for history buffs, nature enthusiasts, and food lovers alike.
