Hôtel Chais Monnet & Spa: A Cognac Warehouse Reborn as a Grand Hotel

Hôtel Chais Monnet & Spa gives new life to the historic cognac warehouses of the Maison Monnet, a sprawling estate on the banks of the Charente in the town of Cognac transformed into a grand hotel of stone and glass. With gardens, a spa and its own jazz club, it has become the smartest base from which to explore the great cognac houses of the region.

The dining is a highlight. Les Foudres holds a Michelin star, where chef Mathis Debize shares his love of local, fresh and refined cuisine; La Distillerie serves luxury all-day dining in the great French tradition under chef Fröde Torset; and the Bar 1838, with its 220 cognacs, and the Rooftop 1838 complete the offering.

For a grand, gastronomic stay in Cognac, the Chais Monnet is a benchmark.
