An Insider's Take
'Nestled just steps from France's most magnificent Renaissance château, this intimate retreat offers front-row seats to royal history in the heart of a protected forest.' What's Special? Le Relais de Chambord is the only hotel within the walls of the Château de Chambord estate, offering exclusive after-hours access to the UNESCO World Heritage site. The property sits within the largest enclosed forest park in Europe, where wild boar and deer roam freely just outside your window.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room facing the château for magical sunrise views, and take advantage of the private evening château visits available exclusively to hotel guests when the crowds have departed.
Don't Miss The château's famous double-helix staircase (possibly designed by Leonardo da Vinci), hot air balloon rides over the Loire Valley at dawn, and the hotel's Michelin-recommended restaurant featuring locally-sourced game from the surrounding forest.
