The house
AccorPost-punk brick mansion
This nineteenth-century brick mansion trades Toulouse's classical traditions for British post-punk, running like an intimate recording studio lounge.

Post-punk Manchester posters and cassette tape art framed by historic pink brick arches.
Listed
Vaulted brickwork and stone archways preserved from the nineteenth-century private mansion.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Place Wilson sits right outside, and the grand arcades of Place du Capitole are an easy stroll away.
The rooms
Chiaroscuro floral murals line the walls above distressed wood floors, and bathrooms have asymmetrical mirrors.
The gym
A wooden exercise bike and water rower sit against olive-green walls in the compact fitness room.
At the table
Breakfast brings regional breads beside green-tiled alcoves, and the bar pours local craft spirits beneath red brick arches.
How it began
Designer Thierry D'Istria answered Toulouse's UNESCO City of Music title with 1980s Manchester post-punk instead of classical opera.
