Hôtel de Bourgtheroulde

Rouen


Rouen’s finest hostelry (owned for the last five years by the Marriott) serves up a sumptuous mix of early-16th-century architecture – Flamboyant Gothic, to be precise – and sleek, modern luxury. The 78 rooms are spacious and gorgeously appointed. Amenities include a pool (18m), sauna and spa in the basement; the Atrium Bar has live piano music on Saturday evening.
