In two sentences
What Marquise Collection is
Marquise Collection is a French hotel collection brand founded in 2026, bringing together three and four star character hotels. Each hotel keeps its name, its building and its decoration; the brand provides shared operating standards, a purchasing centre and joint distribution.
A marquise is the glass and iron canopy projecting above an entrance door, designed to shelter whoever arrives. The word names the first shelter offered to a guest, before the threshold itself. It is the subject of our emblem and the measure of what we ask of every hotel.

Frequently asked
What people ask most
What is Marquise Collection?
Marquise Collection is a French hotel collection brand founded in 2026. It brings together three and four star character hotels, each of which keeps its own name, building and decoration. The brand provides shared operating standards, a purchasing centre and joint distribution, without making the hotels look alike.
Why the name Marquise?
A marquise is the glass and iron canopy projecting above an entrance door, designed to shelter whoever arrives. The word therefore names the first shelter offered to a guest, before the threshold itself. It is also the subject of the brand's emblem.
Do hotels change their name when they join?
No. Each hotel keeps its name, its sign and its clientele. The brand signs underneath, in a second register. That is what distinguishes a collection brand from an integrated chain.
How many hotels are in the collection?
The collection currently brings together two hotels in the Loire Valley: the Hostellerie de l'Écu de Bretagne in Beaugency, thirty-two rooms rated three stars, and Le Relais Louis XI in Meung-sur-Loire. It is open to new members in France and then in Europe.
Where are the hotels?
The first two hotels are in the Loiret, in the Loire Valley, at Beaugency and Meung-sur-Loire, between Orléans and Blois. The collection is designed to welcome hotels in towns, in the countryside, by the sea and in the mountains.
