9.6/10 Exceptional! (60 reviews)
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.
