Auberge du Jeu de Paume
Grand French country estate. Aristocratic but not stuffy — think well-pressed linen, riding boots in the lobby, and a very good Lounge Bar. The scale of the setting does all the drama; the hotel stays elegantly restrained.
Book a suite with a terrace for private outdoor dining overlooking the park — the hotel offers an in-room dining menu specifically for terrace evenings.
Why It Matters
The only hotel on the Domaine de Chantilly estate, giving guests exclusive proximity — and sometimes privileged access — to the Condé Museum (1,000 paintings including Raphaels), the Living Horse Museum, the Chantilly Racecourse, and one of Europe's top polo clubs. Awarded the Michelin Key for 2024 and 2025.
Sitting right in the grounds of the Domaine de Chantilly — between the Château gardens and the Grandes Écuries — the Auberge du Jeu de Paume takes its name from an 18th-century real tennis court that once stood here. The estate is 7,800 hectares of formal gardens, racecourses, polo fields, and one of France's finest art collections, all 40km north of Paris and 25 minutes from CDG. The hotel itself opened in 2012, and the 92 rooms and suites are done in polished 18th-century French style — toile de Jouy, velvet upholstery, marble bathrooms. And yes, parts of Versailles took their inspiration from Chantilly, not the other way around.
