Heritage classified

Origin and history

The Vantey Hotel, also known as the Chandon Hotel or the Brely Hotel, is a private hotel located in the town of Mâcon, Saône-et-Loire. Built during the second quarter of the eighteenth century, it represents an architectural example typical of this period, marked by the elegance and refinement of urban residences intended for the aristocracy or the affluent bourgeoisie. Its inscription in the title of historical monuments, effective since 5 October 1964, reflects its heritage importance and the desire to preserve this built heritage.

The hotel is located at 10 rue Bauderon-de-Senecé, although some sources also mention an approximate address at 21 rue de la Préfecture. These differences highlight the challenges of precise geographical data for ancient monuments. In Burgundy-Franche-Comté, a region marked by a rich architectural history, private hotels like this played a central role in the social and economic life of cities, often serving as a place of residence for influential families or as a framework for cultural and political activities.

Hotel Vantey is referenced in the Mérimée base, an essential tool for the inventory of French architectural heritage. Its Insee code, 71270, officially links it to the commune of Mâcon and the department of Saône-et-Loire. Although the information available does not specify its current use (visit, rental, guest rooms), its status as a historical monument makes it a key element of the local heritage, likely to attract the interest of lovers of history and architecture.
