Elysse Chaffe, Founder
For years, Elysse worked alongside executives and teams navigating fast growth, pressure, and shifting priorities. What she learned was simple: the environments we step into shape how we think, how we connect, and how we perform. When people feel cared for — truly cared for — something shifts. Walls come down. Conversations open. Ideas flow.
Maison Bleu was born from that understanding. Elysse brings together her love of hospitality, her experience in operations, and her eye for meaningful details to create retreats that feel effortless and deeply human. The “return on investment” isn’t just a metric — it’s visible in how teams show up afterward: clearer, more connected, more aligned, and more committed.
Her retreats are designed with intention in every detail, ensuring that the feeling of being welcomed and valued translates directly into stronger culture and improved performance. Rooted in Vancouver and available worldwide, Elysse curates experiences that stay with teams long after they’ve returned home — the kind that quietly change how people work together.
Maison Bleu
Maison Bleu translates to “Blue House” in French;
“Maison” speaks to home—somewhere you feel welcomed, safe, and cared for. A house becomes a home not through its structure, but through the people, the warmth, and the feeling that you belong. That is the essence of true hospitality, and the exact feeling Maison Bleu aims to bring to corporate teams, whether they are in Vancouver or halfway across the world.
“Bleu” represents the brand’s West Coast identity: the Pacific Ocean, the mountain horizons, the cool coastal palette of Vancouver. It subtly honours the city where the company was born.
Together, Maison Bleu is more than a name—it is a philosophy:
A home away from home. A place where intention shapes every detail. Where hospitality goes beyond service and becomes something felt.
Every retreat is designed to feel like stepping into a space where someone has prepared it just for you. The name nods to this idea: a maison—crafted with care—anywhere in the world.
