In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The front doors open onto Quai des Belges, where ferry docks and bustling cafes line the harbor edge.
The rooms
Rooms follow five Provençal design schemes. Larger apartment suites add full kitchens and look directly onto the water.
Bar
Cozy-Cool Lounge
The lounge serves artisan breads and house granola beneath mirrored walls and a central potted pine tree.
At the table
High stools line the window counter under woven pendants. In the evening, the bar pours regional wines.
How it began

The building was the Grand Tonic Hôtel until 2020, when a full renovation remade it under the homeware label.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

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.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
