The blurb on the website describes the hotel as boasting "an air of mild eccentricity". This couldn't be more true. It is chic, classic, odd and quirky all in one. Hanging from the roof in reception are dozens of puppets and all the bedrooms are adorned with prints of Kandinsky's work. The bar is a lovely place to start the night (even though nearby Montpellier has plenty to offer) and there is a nightclub as well. The staff are friendly but match the hotel's slightly offbeat atmosphere. It is deserving of its four stars.
