Malmaison is named after the Château de Malmaison located on the outskirts of Paris. This was the home of Napoléon Bonaparte after his return to France from Egypt.
Malmaison hotels are located primarily in city centres and are mid-sized, operating in the “boutique/lifestyle” market. Typically the hotels have a bar, brasserie, private dining room and meeting rooms of various sizes. Some of the hotels have additional facilities such as a champagne bar and a spa and most have gyms.
Hotel du Vin, also formed in 1994, was created as a hotel brand with an offering of excellent bistro food complemented by outstanding wine lists and first class accommodation.
Hotel du Vin hotels are based primarily in cathedral or university towns and are generally smaller than Malmaison hotels, but they also target the ‘boutique/lifestyle’ market. Generally, the hotels have a French provincial bistro with extensive wines, spa and gym, together with separate function and private dining rooms.
