With the addition of InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal to its portfolio, IHG Hotels & Resorts now holds the world’s second-largest luxury and lifestyle collection. The 19th-century château, located about 30 minutes by train from Paris, combines historic charm with the natural beauty of northern France, set amid the forests of the Hauts-de-France region.

Designed in the early 20th century by architect Guillaume Tronchet for Fernand Halphen, the château was originally conceived to provide his wife with “a view which enchanted her.” That legacy of striking vistas continues today, delighting guests across the hotel’s 109 rooms and suites.
“It is a great honour to be custodian of InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal – a jewel of French heritage,” said Olivier Resta, general manager. “Reimagined for today’s luxury traveller, InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal is a remarkable property and the brand’s first countryside destination. My team and I are delighted to welcome guests and introduce them to the culture and beauty of our region.”

The château’s dining options highlight the region’s seasonal produce and classical French cuisine. L’Opera, the gourmet restaurant, occupies the former music salon, while the signature Le Stradivarius menu continues the focus on refined, locally sourced ingredients. In addition, the hotel’s spa is operated in partnership with the French skincare house Biologique Recherche, offering bespoke treatments that complement the property’s elegant setting.
