What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Hôtel Hébé is free to indulge its elegant side. The result is a high-end boutique hotel that offers some contrast with its setting, while never going so far as to feel out of place.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Old Town's medieval canals and pastel arcades are a five-minute stroll away, just beyond the station.
The rooms
Glass partitions separate bedrooms from sculptural washstands, and select rooms open onto private street-facing balconies.
At the table
Table-service breakfast brings organic jams and vitamin bowls to tables beside the marble counter.
How it began
The building spent decades as a modest station hotel before an eighteen-month gut renovation reimagined it in 2021.
