We picked one of the most exquisite stays in Montpellier. A hotel built in the former mansion of botanist Pierre Richer de Belleval. it’s an experience built inside a former private mansion with Michelin-level dining and art woven into every room. So the plan here was not to rush… but to savor- Our experience was elegant, sensory, and deliciously indulgent. We were in the best possible location—everything radiates from here. Place de la Canourgue - One of the most romantic squares in the city, right outside our hotel. Inside the hotel : Le Jardin des Sens is the Michelin-starred gastronomic experience no one should miss! Expect Artistic plating, Deep Mediterranean flavors and Slow, intentional dining with delicious wine pairing. Bar L’Élytre is the hotel’s dramatic, jewel-box salon bar: part historic mansion, part cabinet of curiosities, part theatrical Parisian-style cocktail lounge. La Canourgue is an elegant, high-design French brasserie inside the historic courtyard. It sits beneath a glass roof surrounded by soaring Palms, original architectural details: ornate moldings, cornices, crystal chandeliers, high ceilings, and the warm patina of the old town. It was not a generic five-star room. It had soul. Overall It felt like we were staying inside a living piece of history and French art.

Gorgeous property - stunning! Blend of old and new. Could do better with service in the bistro. Was an effort to get attention. Beautiful grounds, lovely architecture. Convenient for Montpelier.

I hoped for a clean, cool room where I could rest but instead the room was hot and there was no respite from the heat of the outdoors. The room description included AC but when I got there- without a word from the host- I found that the AC was non-existent. In this summer heat, you should at least have warning before checking in that there is no AC. There was no thermostat- only a fan. The room was fine except the floors were gritty and the walls dirty. It was not a pleasant experience.

From the outside and on the first floor lobby, the hotel looks nice, but specifically our room on the 6th floor was in need of cleaning (carpet had multiple stains, remnant of mini fridge, but no fridge, AC not cooling, and WiFi did not worked). We only stayed one night so didn’t bother to say anything, but the Montpelier the city is well worth a visit.
