Château-Hotel Chantilly: Jeanne & the Forest Redefines French Luxury Stays

In the heart of Chantilly, the largest château-hotel in France has been reawakened. Originally built in 1914 by the visionary baroness Jeanne de Rothschild, Château de Montvillargène now begins a bold new chapter under the name Jeanne & the Forest – a reinvention led by 369° Hotels et Maisons with interiors by celebrated architect Chantal Peyrat.

Peyrat’s vision blends Belle Époque elegance with contemporary softness, echoing the spirit of Jeanne herself: cultured, curious, and always ahead of her time. From antique velvet armchairs to reimagined ceiling lights now crowning bespoke headboards, each space is rich in storytelling. 

Historic features, such as woodwork, fireplaces, and parquet floors, have been lovingly restored by artisans, preserving the château’s quiet grandeur while adding warmth and intimacy.

The six-hectare estate unfolds across three buildings – the château, the Factory, and the Hangar – with 119 rooms and suites, dining venues, a spa, kids club, coworking areas, and even a Social Club. Whether you’re here for a workation or a family escape, it’s a place designed to flow seamlessly between leisure and life.

With Jeanne & the Forest, the château isn’t just reborn, it’s reimagined as a living, breathing home. Elegant yet alive, this is more than a destination. It’s a new way to stay.
