Unforgettable Accommodations

Guestrooms

Inside Domaine’s 13th century stone castle, seven rooms and suites—each bearing the name of a planet—celebrate the art of life, and the life of art. Each incredibly comfortable living space does double duty as a gallery, adorned with pieces such as photographic compositions by Dieter Appelt, Hermès chairs, and fabulously whimsical lighting.
