Our hotels are specifically chosen for their ability to wow our travelers. A great hotel is much more than simply a bed to sleep at night. Great hotels must capture the essence of a region, be able to awe and inspire our guests as well as create an atmosphere of ultimate relaxation. The style of hotel changes with every region but the standard of quality and attention to detail are always top priority. Most of our accommodations originally were not hotels but architectural wonders in the guise of a Cardinal’s guesthouse, mountain chalet, Provencal country villa or a Duke’s castle. Whatever their not-so-humble origins, they have been transformed into some of the most exquisite and exclusive hotels found, always authentically representing the history and soul of a region. 

Elegance and beauty reflect much of what a hotel is about, but the employees can make all the difference. Impeccable service is key and all of our selected hotels know this. A personal touch is what we seek along with warmth and hospitality. All rooms are luxurious and spacious with private baths and represent the owner’s elegant taste. Imagine unwinding in a giant claw-foot bathtub while gazing out at the Alpine crests, or, by the poolside, soaking up the Provencal sun and breathing in the aroma of lavender from the surrounding fields. Each hotel creates the perfect setting for relaxation and inspiration, just what you need after a beautiful day of cycling.
