A green-glass facade gives this station-side hotel its modern look, hiding a quiet plant-filled courtyard from the city traffic.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s as modern as can be, from its green-glass façade to the stylish simplicity of its Zen-inspired guest rooms.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Rennes train station sits just down the avenue, and the exhibitions at Les Champs Libres are a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms keep to an uncluttered, Zen-inspired design, looking out over Avenue Janvier or the inner courtyard.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated lap pool sits beneath an overhead skylight, fitted with an integrated counter-current lane beside a mosaic whirlpool.
The spa and hammam
Pinpoint fiber-optic lights dot the curved mosaic hammam. Nearby, two treatment rooms use mineral formulas from Gemology.
At the table
A morning buffet of regional cheeses and yogurts is laid out in the dining room beside the green patio.
How it began
The hotel was built from the ground up in 2016, taking the place of the former Hôtel Le Président.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
