Relais & Châteaux: NEW IN!
We have the seven new members.
30 September 2020
Since the end of August, the international hotel and restaurant association Relais & Châteaux has seven new members from all over the world. Each of them is unique, with an individual history, special architecture and top-class cuisine. All members embody the values of Relais & Châteaux and are actively committed to a respectful approach to nature. The preservation of natural resources and the protection of the culinary heritage are central to this. The adventure begins in Italy, travels through Portugal, symbolic regions of France to the Bahamas and ends in Japan.
