What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The result, in the public spaces at least, is a rich blend of classic architecture, well-worn antiques, and mid-century furniture, an eclectic, visually stimulating mix.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Place Gambetta sits just around the corner, and the Grand Théâtre is a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms set modern furnishings against exposed limestone walls. Select suites open onto private terraces with Jacuzzis.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and spa
A heated pool opens through retractable glass doors onto the courtyard, beside a sauna and traditional hammam.
Le Wine Bar
The glass conservatory bar pours regional grands crus by the glass, with tables gathered around an oversized chess set.
At the table
Morning buffet spreads and Sunday brunch are served on the stone courtyard terrace under wide parasols.
How it began
Count Pierre-Denis de Peyronnet was born in the mansion, later hosting literary salons here for Victor Hugo.
