Hotel Details
"A blend of ancient architecture and modern design"
Situated in a historical building dating back to the XVIth century, the hotel offers an extremely quiet and serene environment.
Initially a religious school for Jesuits, the Cloister saw its function changed over the centuries to a military hospital, and a home for the elderly.
After a thorough renovation in 1990, the building is now a prominent cultural center and a four star hotel. Rooms and facilities are found both in the ancient cloister, and in the splendid modern extension designed by the famous French achitect from Nouvel.
The spacious rooms, all furnished in a contemporary design, are located in the Cloister and in the extension completed in 1991. This modern wing is the work of the world-famous French architect Jean Nouvel. The majority of the rooms are overlooking the Cloister courtyard (superior rooms and suites) or the peaceful garden (rooms standard jardin).
The hotel is an oasis of tranquility, despite the proximity of the City centre. |
