Château Élan at The Vintage is operated by Château Élan Hotels and Resorts, founded by Don and Nancy Panoz in the US. The property was co-developed by Château Élan and The Stevens Group, one of the leading development groups of NSW. It is located in the heart of the Hunter Valley. Offering a luxury escape for up to 200 guests, the resort comprises a spa with 17 treatment rooms, a hair and beauty salon, 20 super-luxury spa suites and a series of private lifestyle villas.
The $40m development is just two hours north of Sydney. The Vintage is the Hunter Valley's premier residential lifestyle community. At its heart is a Greg Norman-designed course which is ranked #2 in New South Wales and current host of the NSW Open. The Vintage has bar, conference and full dining and catering facilities; the Clubhouse is home to the renowned Legends Grill restaurant.
For the development of the five-star Chateau Elan Spa and accommodation designer Lyn Pritchard's intention was to create an ambience that people will respond to on a personal level. The fundamental aim was to create a unique guest experience that was
warm,rich and memorable.
The palette of materials was selected to suggest a rather casual sophistication. Stone, simple painted surfaces and rich timber detailing instil a traditional aesthetic without being too plush or formal. |
