This historical hotel is beyond beautiful ! The lobby, the events rooms and the restaurant Le Chevalier are exquisitely decorated. The room itself was luxuriously decorated, the bed very comfortable but unfortunately the heat was not working….I was freezing ( I’ve visited right before Christmas) I’ve complained to the reception and luckily an engineer with an assistant promptly addressed the issue. A !
