Burgeoning boutique luxury hotel brand, The Pavilions Hotels & Resorts, has announced the addition of Occitania’s exceptional Château De Fiac to its portfolio from 1 January 2024, taking its growing European footprint to six properties across four countries and further enhancing the brand’s immersive local offerings. 

First opened last year in charming Tarn, just 24 miles from Toulouse-Blagnac International Airport, the 16-room and suite hotel is a serene haven that seamlessly blends the aristocratic and academic heritage of the estate, with the contemporary comforts and assiduous service desired by discerning travellers.

Sophisticated, white-tiled bathrooms featuring free-standing roll-top baths are filled with natural light, creating an elegant, fresh feel. Neutral soft furnishings are complemented by elegant decorative accents, including French portraiture and gilded fan lights, subtly recalling the generations of French nobility that called this estate home as far back as the de Montforts in the 13th century.
