In Old Toulouse, this 5-star hotel's rooms/suites, in a charming 18th-century family home, provide an intimate, cosy setting. Thomas Vonderscher, Michelin-star chef, created the gourmet Le Cénacle's menu. The Club offers champagne-based cocktails, and the Executive Lounge and library invite you to linger in surprising ways. Elegant meeting spaces, a spa and gym complement this luxury wellness bracket.

Halfway between the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, at the foot of the Pyrenees mountains, Toulouse enjoys a privileged location in the South West of France. Succumb to the colorful charm of the aptly named ville rose (pink city).
