Interior designer Marianne Tiegen set a new Standard for Sustainable Luxury Hospitality Through Slow Textiles at Chateau La Banquière

Interiors atelier Marianne Tiegen Interiors has reimagined Château La Banquière, an 18th-century estate set amid vineyards and centuries-old oaks near Montpellier, France, into a hospitality destination where architecture, landscape, and textiles come together in a quiet, contemporary expression of sustainable luxury.

Château La Banquière sits in a serene park, framed by centuries-old oaks and sprawling vineyards. A setting that immediately inspired the design. Every room has been conceived as a dialogue with natural light and the surrounding landscape: an interplay of stone, wood, air, and textiles that animates the spaces throughout the day.

In this project, textiles become more than decoration: they are spatial anchors. Fabrics define rooms, soften acoustics, frame views, and offer a tactile warmth usually found only in private homes. For a hospitality project, Marianne Tiegen Interiors strategically used textiles, focusing on key elements such as canopies, screens, bed throws, and wall panels to create intimacy and comfort without overwhelming the classical architecture.
