InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal hosts residential seminars, study days, board meetings, conventions, product launches and general assemblies for up to 250 people in theatre layout, as well as weddings and private receptions. The five-star hotel has 109 rooms and suites and 12 meeting rooms. It stands in a 5-hectare park in the Chantilly forest, at La Chapelle-en-Serval, about 45 minutes from Paris and 20 minutes from Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport.
Seminars and company events
The meeting rooms are set around a patio used for coffee breaks, lunch cocktails and drinks, and two large terraces extend them outdoors. Most rooms have daylight and a forest view, and all come with audiovisual equipment. The hotel lists residential seminars, study days, executive committees, conventions, product launches, showrooms and general assemblies among the formats it hosts. Team-building activities in the forest and a dedicated event contact are offered. At year end, chef Léo Chinot prepares a festive group menu for company parties. The hotel is also about 30 minutes by car from the exhibition centers of Paris Nord Villepinte and Le Bourget, which makes it a base for exhibitors during trade fairs.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings, birthdays, family gatherings, christenings and private cocktails. Ceremonies, receptions and dinners can take place in the historic lounges or on the terraces overlooking the park, and the private events team arranges guest rooms, spa treatments and outings such as golf, horse riding or carriage rides.

The Spa by Biologique Recherche, a fitness room and a tennis court complete the facilities.
History and setting
The château was built in the early 20th century in Louis XVI style by the architect Guillaume Tronchet for its first owner, the composer Fernand Halphen, whose name the largest meeting room carries. The architecture and engineering firm DUNES later renovated the hotel, bringing in more light and redesigning the spa and restaurants. The interiors draw on local themes: horses, nature and Chantilly lace.
