A true hide-away in Provence

Hotel Crillon Le Brave
The Mont Ventoux, the Dentelles de Montmirail and the Luberon… It was love at first sight for the Pariente family on their first visit to Crillon le Brave. Emotion provides the initial impetus for all projects, calling them towards a unique experience. In spring 2017, the Pariente family imagined telling a new story through this destination. The architect and designer, Charles Zana gives a new style to the hotel’s common areas, as well as to the suites and rooms, all in keeping with the cachet and the identity of the place. The restaurants and bars were thus decorated in a style bringing together the traditional codes of Provence and modernity. In the 16 rooms and 18 suites, the ancient red terracotta tiles typical of Provence contrast with a warm, but discreet, decoration. Linen is omnipresent, the colours are in natural half-tones, the plaids are cosy, the fabrics soft…A clear and bright atmosphere reigns, encouraging rest and luxury relaxation.
