Let’s take a look!

New InterContinental Hotel Opens in France

The swanky InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal has 109 guest rooms and suites, all with large windows, balconies, and terraces.

The property is a restored 19th Century Château designed by French architect Guillaume Tronchet. Amenities include 2 French restaurants — L’Opéra and Le Stradivarius — a spa, an indoor pool, a tennis court, and a fitness center. The hotel is just 30 miles from Paris (or 30 minutes by train) for guests looking to be near the city but in a more secluded part of France. Additionally, the hotel is a 20-minute drive from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).

“Now reimagined for today’s modern luxury traveler, InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal is truly a remarkable property and the first countryside destination for the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand,” said general manager Olivier Resta.

One of IHG’s best brands, the InterContinental flag can be found throughout France in cities such as Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, and Paris.

Booking InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal 

The InterContinental Chantilly Chateau Mont Royal is now open for guests and is participating in the IHG One Rewards program. You’ll be able to earn and redeem IHG points here, and you’ll certainly want to, given the fantastic award rates.

Cash rates start at around $300 nightly, while the lowest rates we see with IHG One Rewards points start at 50,000 points per night next spring. That’s a fantastic deal for an InterContinental, especially a property so close to Paris.

It’s easy to earn a ton of IHG One Rewards points quickly, and this is true even if you don’t stay with the chain often. You can earn points by:

• Opening an IHG co-branded credit card
• Transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards or Bilt Rewards points (1:1 ratio)
• Dining out with IHG One Dining
• Planning a meeting with IHG Business Rewards

Final Thoughts

This new InterContinental is stunning, and that’s not solely because it’s located in a former palace in a forest outside Paris. It’s dirt cheap, which isn’t something we see often with IHG’s high-end hotels, and Paris is accessible from the property. With such low award rates, InterContinental Chantilly is shaping up to be one of France’s best sweet spots for IHG points!
