The best Iconic Houses to know

Can you tell us more about Iconic House?

Iconic House is the first private collection of hotel houses. We operate our own properties, which enables us to go much further in terms of furnishings, decoration, service and the overall experience offered to our guests. With Iconic House, our ambition is to develop a strong brand in the world of hospitality, creating an assumed porosity between the hotel and vacation rental industries, taking the best of both environments.

How did you come up with the concept?

We're betting that the home will increasingly be favored over the hotel. Our aim is to appeal to a demanding clientele (leisure or business) who prefer the space, intimacy and freedom of a private home to that of a luxury hotel , without skimping on service or experience.

How did you choose each of the Iconic House destinations?

Double crushes. First for the destinations, then for the properties, for their location, character and uniqueness. Always places we know and love, where we grew up, like Les Baux-de-Provence, or where we like to spend our vacations, like Cap Ferret or Courchevel 1550...

If you had to choose just one destination for :

Activate "do not disturb" mode?

Les Hauts de Gordesfor sure. For its incredible view over the village and surrounding countryside. For the calm and serenity of the property and its surroundings.

No sleep at the weekend?

Les Bords du Lac to experience the Landes at 200%, between surf sessions, bike rides in the forest, aperitifs in the oyster huts on the lakeshore, sunsets at the Ocean, festive outings...

Recharge your batteries and return home feeling refreshed and inspired?

L'Étoile des BauxL'Étoile des Baux, our first home located below the citadel of Les Baux, with its incredible troglodyte rooms. It's a house we've thought up as a highly inspiring place, a landmark for artists for a day (or a lifetime)!

The most beautiful nature walks?

Courchevel and our Chalet Le 1550 facing the Dent du Villard and the Vanoise peaks. For a skiing and hiking enthusiast like me, it's paradise!

Taking the most beautiful photos?

Le Coeur du Ferretthe latest Iconic House destination: for its variety of landscapes and unique atmosphere.

The best reset activity for feeling good?

An energetic massage in Hossegor given from the private cabin of the Maison des Bords du Lac by Hélène, our brilliant therapist.

A day out with family or friends?

Without hesitation, a day at the Manade Laurent in the Camargue, about 40 kilometers from our home in Les Baux-de-Provencewith Estelle and Laurent, a couple of gardians. Horses, bulls, rice fields, salt marshes... the immersion is insane and the experience unforgettable!

A memorable restaurant for the taste buds?

Le Mas in Gordes, by Chef Alexis Osmont! One of our favorite addresses in the region. Treat yourself in a charming setting to excellent, sunny cuisine inspired by market produce.
