The house and the rooms
The hotel says the building was a coaching inn in the mid-19th century, built on a former vegetable garden, and that it was renovated in 2023, with a lift added. Two designers fitted the rooms, in the spirit of Parisian townhouses, again according to the hotel. The hotel lists all 49 rooms as air-conditioned. In the categories we read they measure 12 to 19 m² and take two people at most. Breakfast is described as ‘locavore’ and is served in the lobby; the hotel also offers anniversary and honeymoon packages on request.
