The hotel was built in 1912 in the
traditional style of the Anglo-Norman manor
complete with pastel green timbering.
As part of the renovation plan, the hotel
sought to preserve the authenticity of
its history by keeping with the tradition
of the Toile de Jouy pattern, while also
transforming the rooms to something
befitting of the hotel’s five star standard
The five following rooms - the Chambre
Deluxe Mer Club, Chambre Deluxe
Terrasse Club, Chambre Deluxe Normande
Club, Suite Delux Terrasse and Suite
Presidentielle – designed by Kirei Studio
were all decorated with the Toile de Jouy
pattern, varying in their colours to make
each room individually unique.
THE PATTERnS OF THE TOIlES DE JOuy
WERE MADE In cOllABORATIOn WITH
A FABRIc SPEcIAlIST In ORDER FOR
THEM TO BE OF THE uTMOST DElIcAcy.
The bathrooms were completely renovated
with classic white floors and black
cabochons or a mosaic work of beige
marble. The antique gold lacquered wash
basins, combined with the caramel wooden
wall units give a contemporary touch in this
classic atmosphere.
The suite “Un homme et Une femme” was
designed based on the 1966 French film
of the same name. The original pattern of
the Toile de Jouy, known as “le Delice des
4 Saisons”, was reinterpreted for this room
with an approach to the colour sepia. This
colour was chosen specifically to hint to the
moods of the film, which was shot mostly in
black and white
The headboard is identical to the one in
the film, along with the two night stands.
The classic black and white bathroom has
a few contemporary touches, such as the
iridescent golden lacquer of the wash
basins, which completes this room.
The adjoining living room, decorated with
a sofa of soft pink accents, harmonizes the
suites colour palette while giving it light and
romance. The walls are covered with photos
from the movie, bringing this suite back in
time for a romantic weekend getaway.
