“With its uniform decoration and purpose-made mahogany furniture and fittings, La Matelote has a rather masculine air. The dominant red and gold colour scheme does, however, create a feeling of warmth, and it’s a cosy place in which to hole up during winter months. Save money by taking a ‘standard’ room; they are only a bit smaller than the ‘prestige’. Dine, of course, at the adjoining well-known fish restaurant of the same name.”
