Starting in 1960, Relais de Campagne expands outside of France with its first European properties.

In 1974, Relais de Campagne merges with Châteaux Hôtels to become Relais & Châteaux. That same year, the association creates Relais Gourmands to highlight gastronomy within its properties.

In 1975, Relais & Châteaux welcomes its first properties in the USA, Canada and Japan.

By 1992, Relais & Châteaux expands its global footprint to 40 countries.

In 2014, Relais & Châteaux presents its Vision with 20 commitments at UNESCO, pledging to preserve the world’s cuisines, share its passion for beauty and taste and promote a more humane world.

Today, in 2024, the Association, presided by Laurent Gardinier, gathers 580 unique properties throughout the world, owned and operated by independent entrepreneurs who are passionate about their craft and deeply committed to forging warm, lasting relationships with their guests.

Relais & Châteaux also brings together a network of the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world: we count 376 Michelin Stars, including 40 Green Stars, a symbol of the Association’s excellence in gastronomy and the desire to protect, promote and enhance the richness and diversity of local cuisines and hospitality traditions all over the world.

More than a brand, Relais & Châteaux represents a profound philosophy: to create a better world through cuisine and hospitality.
