Hotel & restaurant : A man of the arts with a collector’s eye, the Duc d’Aumale, son of King Louis Philippe, who restored the Château de Chantilly after the Revolution, owned a hunting lodge on this forested estate, where he organised the most sumptuous receptions. Now a cosy hotel, the lodge boasts classic rooms decorated by designer Stafan Lauters, complemented by a selection of more contemporary, Italian-style rooms. Under the high ceilings of the dining room, guests choose from a range of traditional dishes. The veranda affords sweeping views over the park, while the terrace is perfect for summer dining./Airport Paris - Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle 18km/Railway station Gare Chantilly - Gouvieux 7km/Activities : Tennis/Equitation/Golf
