What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel’s location in the Loire countryside also means it’s surrounded by lush forest views … from each of the 30 rooms and suites, which are split across a modern contemporary building and a historic stone 18th century property.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Loire à Vélo cycling trail runs 600 meters away, and Château de Chambord is a half-hour drive.
The rooms
Farmhouse rooms open directly onto private garden terraces. Rooms in the contemporary wing look out over the surrounding woods.
At the table
Wine barrel tables sit by sliding glass doors, and breakfast is laid out along a timber counter under brass lamps.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.
The medals
Gold
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Silver
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
Bronze
They did this well. You’ll notice.
Listed
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
