Get ready for a luxurious escape to the island of Oléron, where the MGallery Collection is set to unveil its newest gem! Nestled between the pine forests and the vast ocean, this boutique hotel promises an unforgettable experience.
The Bel Hôtel Oléron - MGallery Collection is scheduled to open its doors in April 2026, transforming the iconic Novotel Thalassa into a haven of luxury and serenity. This project, a collaboration between Accor and CLR Hôtels, showcases their shared vision of creating a unique, environmentally conscious hotel that blends seamlessly with its surroundings.
Maud Bailly, Managing Director of Sofitel Legend, Sofitel, MGallery & Emblems, expresses her excitement: "I'm thrilled to continue our partnership with the CGR Group on this memorable project. MGallery Oléron will bring together the magic of nature's elements, creating a magical seaside retreat."
Imagine a refuge where the forest meets the ocean. The hotel, nestled in a protected Natura 2000 site, boasts 102 rooms with breathtaking views of the pine forest or the ocean. Inspired by Oléron's seaside charm, the architecture and design feature natural materials, creating a bright and calming ambiance.
But here's where it gets truly special: the culinary experience! Michelin-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire will curate a menu that celebrates the fusion of ocean and land, showcasing the best of local produce and artisans. From oysters to market-fresh vegetables, every dish will be a delight.
The hotel offers a range of dining options, including a main restaurant with a terrace, an intimate Chef's Table, and two bars. The signature dish, a tribute to Oléron's maritime heritage, centers around the island's famous oysters. And let's not forget the beach club, where you can relax and enjoy the sea breeze.
Continuing the legacy of the historic thalassotherapy site, the hotel features a spa and marine thalassotherapy center. Indulge in an indoor pool, hammam, and a glass-walled sauna. Unwind in the herbal tearoom and choose from 27 treatment rooms, some designed for couples. Outdoor activities like yoga by the waves and meditation under the pine trees will connect you with nature like never before.
This project is not just about luxury; it's about environmental responsibility. Developed in consultation with local authorities and the Ministry of Ecological Transition, the hotel aims to preserve the surrounding ecosystem. Local producers from Oléron will be showcased through the hotel's menus and experiences, supporting the region's economy.
With this new addition to the Atlantic coast, MGallery Collection continues its selective expansion in France, soon to have nearly 40 hotels. Their presence on the west coast, between the ocean and the countryside, offers travelers immersive experiences in unique locations.
