Château de Maubreuil in Carquefou, the first 5-star hotel in the Nantes area. - DP / 20 minutes

Delayed ignition at the Château de Maubreuil in Carquefou. If the restaurant / bar and the Spa area opened their doors on December 12, the hotel part is not yet available to the general public, contrary to what the owners had announced. “We set up a crisis unit just before the scheduled opening date and we decided to postpone the provision of the rooms, recognizes owner Philippe Rousse. There were too many adjustments to be made. There were light problems. The customer circuit was not completed and the staff was not ready. We knew we were expected at the turn, we had to be square… ”

Is a hotel opening date now set? That of February 14 (Valentine's Day) is mentioned. The owner refuses to confirm it. “After seven years of work, we are no longer a week or a month away. Nothing is decided. Even if Philippe Rousse plans an inauguration "in March-April".

The 5 stars "in the course of approval"

The Château de Maubreuil, a 19th-century building, would be the first 5-star hotel ("in the process of being approved," according to the owner) in the Nantes metropolitan area. A great art lover, Philippe Rousse designs with Virginie, his partner, an establishment with a guideline: travel. Each of the 14 suites thus has a particular theme: "Venice carnival", "Garden of Babylon", "Mongolia my love", "Prince of Wales", "Wonders of Rajhastan" etc.

In addition, the first six months, the flavors of the restaurant are inspired by the Moroccan chef Meryem Cherkaoui, before the arrival of Italy on the plates during the year 2020.
