Staying at home has not just amplified our need to travel soon. Many of us have discovered a new appreciation for a slower, more personally connected, authentic, hospitable life, and food lovingly prepared from local ingredients.
So we identify even more today with the ‘5 C’ principals of the Relais & Chateaux association of independent, boutique hotels and restaurants: Character, Courtesy, Calm, Charm, and Cuisine.
Of the 500+ Relais & Chateaux landmark properties around the world 75 can be found in North American cities, mountains, coasts and countryside.
ROUTES DE BONHEUR
And as we begin travelling again, Relais & Chateaux’ ‘Routes de Bonheur’, or Roads to Happiness, make a perfect post-COVID, ‘bubble travel’ escape.
17 Routes de Bonheur in North America link different Relais & Chateaux properties in suggested itineraries to discover a corner of the world in our own backyard.
These scenic driving routes allow you to travel with your own social ‘bubble’, arriving at pre-booked, intimate R&C properties and restaurants away from the bustle of chain hotels and resorts.
