Chateau Elan Winery And Resort

This location outside of Atlanta is beautiful and calm. The rooms are well done, royal, clean, and comfortable. The staff is extremely friendly. The breakfast buffet is good, not great, but good. The spa is wonderful. Lots to do - heated pool (though not that warm), outdoor seats to see the water, AMAZING meals at the spa restaurant (crab cakes were delicious), fantastic services with nice lounge/locker areas. The winery is large, makes you feel like you're in California - but the wine itself is just ok. Note there are lots of conferences during the week but it never really felt crowded even with the conferences. Overall a very nice location, enough to do over a couple of days, relaxing and perfect for couples.

This is an excellent property for a night if you like wineries, but it's really a wedding/event destination. Stayed here for a Race Track event at Road America. Spa suites are very nice - two storey and in a quiet part of the estate, away from the main hotel. Excellent, unless you don't like walking a few hundred yards uphill. Service is very hit or miss; you either get a pleasant person who wants to help or someone who is just not helpful or nice. This is a mid-range hotel which charges extra on account of the overall property. Furniture and fixtures are mid-range - still don't understand why any hotel wouldn't fit door closers to stop room doors banging so loud. Food isn't great but buffet is good value. Local wines and beers are surprisingly nice. Went from here to Blackberry Farm, where they charge 3 times the rates. Difference is mainly the attitude and training of staff.

My wife and I received a package stay Athens the Chateau Inn from our wonderful daughter for our 25th anniversary. The Inn and surrounding estate is stunning and the room was beautifully appointed. We were checked in easily and were greeted by happy employees. We ate dinner at the Versailles Restaurant buffet. It has a cold bar with all you can eat King Crab legs halved for easy access and giant shrimp. Prime rib and specialty offerings are served for your pleasure. The desserts are wonderfully decadent. Pros: The estate has a spa, winery with tasting bar, exercise room, golfing, beautiful pool, and many restaurants to choose from. Cons: A bit pricey: $219 / night - king bed with sparkling wine. Evening buffet $49 / per person - breakfast buffet $25 / per person. I highly recommend trying this out for at least one night for a special event. You will not regret your decision!

This is a wonderful resort. Great spa, gym, restaurants, room, parking, & even room services. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. They ensured that I had a wonderful stay. I can't wait to go back!

My wife and I, along with another couple, spent four fantastic days at Chateau Elan. The staff is extremely attentive and very accommodating. We played golf at their two golf courses and both courses are in very good condition. They also have a walking par 3 course if you want to tune up your short game. The selection of wines is varied and they have a very nice wine tasting room. We all enjoyed selecting the wines and comparing the ones we we enjoyed. And, of course, bought multiple bottles to share when we got back home. The restaurants offer a wide selection and we especially enjoyed the Irish Pub located near our hotel. It has a first rate spa, as well. If you enjoy, golf, wine and a relaxing atmosphere, this is the place to come to!
