The house
AccorCliffside modernist tower
The glass tower rises above the Pétrusse Valley, trading traditional grand-hotel formality for sharp angles and vivid graphic styling.
What it’s good at
Notable
Philippe Capron's graphic interiors bring bold palettes and curved glass above the Pétrusse.
Listed
Eighth-floor cocktail lounge L'Observatoire serves craft drinks against panoramic valley vistas.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms are anything but conservative: colors are vivid, furniture rakishly modern, yet the comforts, underneath it all, are the equal of any city-center luxury hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The historic Grund lies down the hillside, and the upper city of Ville-Haute is a short walk away.

The rooms
Leather travel trunks sit beside bold, colorful furnishings, and wide windows look straight out across the valley.
The gym
The fitness studio has light wood floors, Technogym treadmills, and free weights for strength training.
Restaurant
Mu
Top-floor windows look out across the old town. Dinner centers on French sharing plates and tableside steak tartare.
At the table
Mornings begin at the sleek breakfast buffet. Later, Le Bubbles hosts champagne tastings and L'Observatoire serves globally inspired cocktails.
How it began
The curved glass building rose on the Pétrusse ridge in 2008, bringing modern architecture to the historic fortress city.
