Maison Maubreuil

Chez
Philippe Rousse

Olivier Baron

First there was the adventure of the Château de Maubreuil in Carquefou, acquired by entrepreneur Philippe Rousse to display his art collection, which became a charming place to stay. Now comes its little sister, Maison Maubreuil in the heart of Nantes, where guests are invited to “spend the night around the world.”

Collector, bargain hunter, avid traveler... Nothing predestined Philippe Rousse to become a hotelier before he fell in love with Château Maubreuil. He must have enjoyed the adventure, because five years later, he's back with this urban opus. A regular at Drouot and a close friend of Parisian fabric publishers, the entrepreneur makes no secret of his delight at having created a showcase for his collection of artworks and travel souvenirs. Each of the thirteen rooms in this cozy family home tells the story of a destination and could be that of a sea captain. The cozy intimacy extends to the Albert bar and under the vaults of the Félicie restaurant (Albert and Félicie de Dion, art and fine car enthusiasts, former owners and inspiring ghosts of Château Maubreuil). “People don't come here to sleep, but to dream,” proclaims this hyperactive man who, on the edge of his château's grounds, has created Ferme Maubreuil, 12 hectares of permaculture that will be open to the public in spring 2026. The whole estate now forms a small Collection, a family business where guests are welcomed as friends.
