Château Élan CEO Erik Stuebe said that the resort heralds a new era in luxury tourism in the Hunter. “Château Élan will provide a boost to the region and its economy as it becomes another reason for people to visit,” he said.

“We aim to make Château Élan, Australia’s finest destination spa and golf resort. No expense has been spared and no detail has been overlooked in creating this jewel in the crown of Hunter tourism,” said Mr Stuebe.

Château Élan is one of Australia’s largest spas offering a comprehensive range of spa treatments as well as a Hydro lounge (a comfortable, fire-warmed ‘wet’ area) and a social spa area complete with bar and catering facilities.”

Spa suites are located within the spa complex giving guests privileged access, as well as total privacy courtesy of an ‘air bridge’. They include a sensual plinth-mounted spa bath that is open to the room, and a $9,000 ErgoMotion bed that massages and has a ‘Zero Gravity’ option for neutral body position.

Each spa suite is named after a different city of the world and fitted out accordingly. All rooms include original artworks, Nesspresso Essenza coffee systems, French Thalgo bathroom amenities, digital entertainment and internet access.
