- Qué tiene: Opposite the château · 55 rooms · Spa with views · A boat suite on the Cosson

The only hotel inside the Chambord estate, opposite the château: 55 rooms renovated by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, a spa with an outdoor jacuzzi and two restaurants.

The Relais de Chambord is the only hotel inside the 5,440 hectares of the Chambord national estate, right opposite the château. It occupies the former coaching inn of Francis I's hunting lodge, which was already a hotel and was reborn in 2018 after a renovation by the architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte. It keeps the original façade, with its little lookout turret and the red windows and doors typical of Chambord.
The rooms
There are 55, each different because of the building's history: velvet, wood, ceramics by Ettore Sottsass and lamps by Adrien Gardère. There are Classic, Superior, Deluxe, Junior Suites and family rooms, several with views of the château or the River Cosson. The most unusual is a suite installed in a toue, the traditional flat-bottomed Loire boat, which floats on the Cosson canal with the château in the background. Some rooms are adapted for people with reduced mobility; ask when booking.
The spa and the restaurants
The Spa du Relais is open every day from 10:00 to 20:00, with Anne Semonin products, hammam, sauna and an outdoor jacuzzi with a view of the château. For hotel guests access is free, by booking a one-hour slot; under-16s may not enter. In November 2026 the hotel warns that the jacuzzi is temporarily closed for maintenance.
There are two restaurants run by Lyon chef Joseph Viola: Le Grand Saint-Michel, the classic dining room with views of the château, from 12:00 to 14:30 and from 19:00 to 22:00, with booking recommended; and Les Armes du Château, simpler, on place Saint-Louis. The Bar du Relais completes the house.
Getting there and parking
By car, you enter the park, continue towards the château and its car parks, and then follow the signs for the Relais through the entrance to the P1 Bus car park. The car park closest to the hotel is an estate concession and costs €10 per night. By train, from Paris Austerlitz or Montparnasse to Blois-Chambord or Mer; from Blois, Rémi bus line 2 runs to the château.
Sleeping here has a clear advantage: the château and the forest at dawn and dusk, without coaches.
