In Vineuil-Saint-Firmin, in the Oise, in the heart of the Chantilly forest, 35 km from Paris.
Because this 4-star hotel, which we thought was reserved for conferences and seminars, is also perfectly suited to leisure customers! Lost in the middle of nature, in perfect silence disturbed only by the songs of birds, the cries of ducks and the putts of the Garden Golf next door, you can fill up on vitamin G (or green vitamin). Above all, it feels completely out of time, and that feels good.
We sweat in the fitness center, swim in the indoor pool, laze in the outdoor pool overflown by herons, try our hand at golf or go visit the Domaine de Chantilly just next door. Above all, do not settle for gardens designed by André Le Nôtre. The interior of the castle houses an impressive art collection, including the famous painting "The Three Graces" by the painter Raphael. It is the second private collection of works of art from the 17th and 18th centuries after the Louvre! We then refine our equestrian culture at the Grandes Ecuries and the adjoining Horse Museum. By running or pedaling from the hotel, you can also walk along the golf course, cut through the woods and join the Apremont polo club to watch training. Exotic! And you can't leave Dolce Chantilly without taking a break in front of the imposing lamp-statue of a horse by the Swedish collective Front, installed in the lobby.
A (really) perfect egg at the Donatello restaurant, where chef David Archinard excels in the art of bistronomy. Her homemade ice creams and sorbets go by themselves, even when you are no longer hungry! A copious breakfast as desired (with pastries, fresh fruit, cold cuts and tutti quanti and also gluten-free bread or soy milk) under the panoramic rotunda of the Veranda restaurant. Perfectly cooked skewers on the Swing terrace.
200 rooms and suites, with view of the golf course or the forest, King Size bed, free internet…
