What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Suites enjoy panoramic views of the Cour d’Honneur, while rooms are enhanced by original architectural features like blue stone vaults and seven-meter-high ceilings.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in central Valenciennes, the hotel sits a short stroll from the historic Place d'Armes and the local tramway network.
The rooms
Preserved blue stone vaults and seven-meter-high ceilings frame the rooms, with suites opening onto views of the monumental courtyard.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated 22-meter pool sits beneath eighteenth-century blue-stone vaults, lined with wicker lounge chairs.
The spa and gym
Stone alcoves hold treatment rooms and a 24-hour gym, alongside a Finnish sauna and steam hammam.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
La Storia serves Italian dishes under monumental stone columns, and Le Royal Bar pours cocktails beside a gilded counter.
How it began
Commissioned by Louis XV in 1751 as a royal hospital, the historic monument underwent an eight-year restoration of 450 stone arches.
