Château d'Esclimont in St. Symphorien-le-Château was built for the Archbishop of Tours in 1543 and since then has been the home of aristocrats, statesmen and politicians principally because of its proximity to Versailles and Paris. Today, the Château d'Esclimont is a luxury hotel that stands supreme within a 150-acre wooded park surrounded by its moats and pond, the epitome of the perfect French chateau.The hotel's interiors are superb examples of renaissance elegance where the old and the new coexist in comfort. Traditional haute cuisine and a choice of over 400 wines from the cellar served in the magnificent dining room will transport you to new heights of pleasure. The memory of your stay at the Château d'Esclimont is sure to endure.

This member of the Relais & Châteaux group is replete with luxuriously furnished guest rooms (many are loftily dimensioned, others snug in corner turrets) adorned with reproduction 18th-century French pieces. Carved stone garlands, cordovan leathers, brocades, and period antiques grace the public salons; the superbly manicured grounds cradle a heated pool.
