Château Louise de La Vallière

Hotels Own Introduction

A Renaissance Château in the Heart of the Loire Valley

Nestled near the royal town of Amboise, Château Louise de La Vallière is a remarkable sixteenth-century château where history, romance, and French elegance come vividly to life. Once home to the young Louise de La Vallière, the celebrated favourite of Louis XIV, the estate has been lovingly restored by proprietor Mira Grebenstein and transformed into an extraordinary luxury château hotel. Guided by the vision of renowned designer Jacques Garcia, every space evokes the grandeur, sensuality, and refinement of the French royal court, inviting guests on a timeless journey through one of France’s most enchanting regions.

Rooms & Suites

The château's 20 individually designed rooms, suites, and boudoirs are spread throughout the main château, the Orangerie, the Caretaker’s House, the Pavilion, and the beautifully restored stables. Each accommodation pays tribute to one of France’s legendary royal favourites, blending historic character with refined comfort through sumptuous fabrics, antique furnishings, and elegant details that honour the spirit of the estate.
