The Essence of Relais
& Chateaux
Founded in France in 1954, Relais & Châteaux
(www.relaischateaux.com) represents the highest benchmark in hotel accommodations and fine dining, with a select group
of over 450 privately owned hotels and restaurants worldwide. The concept grew from the vacationing traditions of well-heeled French society, who traveled to a variety of
"relais" (lodges) and "châteaux" (castles) which, while different in architecture, scenery and cuisine, presented consistently high standards.
The essence of Relais & Châteaux lies in its "5 C's": charm, courtesy, character, cuisine, and calm. The association refers to its members as disciples of simplicity,
repeating simple gestures and drawing on individual secrets to enrich guests' lives during their stay. Every year, a select few properties are invited to join. The
Auberge du Soleil is proud to have been called upon for association
since 1988.
