About the Duchateau family
The Duchateau family has always been passionate about the hospitality industry. Martin Duchateau graduated from the Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne in 2022, and his sister Melanie in 2007, both co-founders, decided to open the Made in Louise in 2012. Mino Duchateau, the mother, was the interior architect and the father, Antoine Duchateau, the financial advisor. Together they created the Made in Louise, a 48 bedroom boutique hotel in the Louise area.
Since 2012, Martin & Melanie have been managing the hotel. Melanie left the adventure in 2008 to pursue her own professional objectives.
In 2020, the Duchateau family decided to buy the Hotel Welcome situated on the Place Saint-Catherine. Renovations of the hotel began in September 2022. Mino Duchateau is in charge of the design.
We created Made in Hotels to bring Made in Louise and Made in Kat together with the vision of expanding further in the future.
