Deco townhouse residence
It runs like a private home, with quiet courtyard mornings and afternoon pastries from chef Pierre Mathieu.
What it’s good at
Listed
Ten suites beside Saint-André Cathedral stocking four hundred bottles of regional wine.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
ten suites in an 18th-century townhouse whose interiors exhibit a swanky design confidence that marks it as a top-tier luxury boutique hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Across from Palais Rohan and Saint-André Cathedral, steps from the historic centre's cafes and trams.
The rooms
Suites are styled with marble, blown glass, and velvet seating. Selected rooms open onto private terraces facing Palais Rohan.
At the table
Breakfast arrives in your suite on white tablecloths, and afternoon tea brings artisanal cakes and jams.
How it began
The townhouse takes its name from Cardinal Donnet, the nineteenth-century archbishop who bought the neighboring Pey-Berland tower to save it.
