What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Housed inside a 16th-century house in the historic center of Rennes, the hotel has just five guest rooms characterized by old-world elegance and cool retro shapes.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto cobbled Rue du Chapitre, steps from Rennes Cathedral and Place des Lices.
The rooms
Mid-century furniture rests on historic oak floors beneath patterned wallpaper, and fresh breakfast is brought straight to your room.
At the table
Fresh croissants and juice arrive each morning, and self-serve tea and coffee remain ready throughout the day.
How it began
The mansion survived the Great Fire of 1720 after its owner paid neighbors to demolish adjacent buildings as a firebreak.
