All efforts have been made to maintain the old charm of Hotel de l”Orient while ensuring more than the basic comforts that have come to be associated with the changes in lifestyle since the 18th century. The “non-hotel” hotel offers a unique experience of seeing and ‘living’ history along with a range of local excursions that help our guests unwind and rediscover themselves.
