What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The building’s distinctive contemporary silhouette is a hint that the hotel within is an unusual one, but it’s more than a matter of design.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Saône riverfront is right outside, with contemporary art center La Sucrière just two minutes away on foot.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
