A weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city, without straying too far from Paris... That's what the 4-star Mercure Chantilly hotel offers, located just 25 minutes from the capital (by train). Nature lovers are invited to discover the region and its famous château, as well as the hotel's various facilities. Sauna, hammam, swimming pool and other activities are on offer to travelers for a total change of scenery and a moment of relaxation before returning to the daily grind of the city.

The 200 rooms and suites are all very spacious (between 26 and 45 m2), for an unforgettable night in Morpheus' arms. Whether you choose a double or single bed, the comfort is worthy of a hotel of this standing, offering you an incomparable night's sleep. The lucky ones are even entitled to a breathtaking view of the golf course. As for the bathroom, we appreciate the modernity of the room, despite the slightly high bathtub.
