Gault&Millau's review 2025

Overlooking a small canal, Troyes’ first five-star boutique hotel is the perfect base for exploring the old town and its stained-glass museum, just a stone’s throw away. A true piece of history, the building served as a grammar school in the 15th century before becoming a convent and a gendarmerie during the Revolution. Restored and transformed into a hotel by interior designer Laurent Mangoust, it has preserved the finest traces of its history—from the vast main courtyard leading to the hotel’s entrance to the charming canopy that extends into a large glass-roofed space in the lobby. Beyond that, the property exudes a warm, contemporary sophistication with its grand lounge and the Apothèque Bar, both featuring an elegant, hushed atmosphere, as do the 54 rooms and suites spread across three floors and decorated in shades of white and gray, some of which open onto a terrace overlooking the cathedral. The spa, housed in the former Gallo-Roman baths, is equally flawless, featuring beautiful dark Balinese stone that defines the various spaces—sauna, hammam, indoor pool, sensory shower, and treatment rooms where Sothys-branded treatments and massages are offered. A member of the MGallery collection, this chic retreat is exactly what the city of Troyes was missing.
