| Four-star comfort combines with personal touches at this hotel in a 17th-century honey-stone house arranged around a large courtyard. Huge double doors – formerly a coach entrance – lead from the street into an airy lobby, off which Café Laurent has attracted the literati and glitterati since 1690. The lovely sitting room has a cosy feeling despite its grand proportions, and bedrooms cocoon their inhabitants in sound-proofed luxury. |

THEY SAY
The Hotel d’Aubusson, a 17th century stately home, was entirely re-designed to meet the present-day requirements of our guests. Cleverly renovated, this hotel and its solid oak 17th century porte-cochere remain true to their by-gone days.
Despite its generous proportions, the front lobby with its tiled floor and warm palette of colours radiates a genuinely friendly atmosphere, enhanced by the immediate vicinity of “Café Laurent”. The inner courtyard, set up like a real conservatory, echoes the babbling of a discreet water feature.
The Hotel d'Aubusson invites connoisseurs to appreciate the quality of the decor elements, all of which are testimonies of its long history: The stone slabs shiny with the patina of time, the original beams, the Versailles parquet floors, the antique furniture, the monumental fireplace made of Burgundy stone and, as expected from the hotel’s name, the genuine Aubusson tapestries embellishing the reception rooms.
Some of the 49 suites of the Hotel d'Aubusson have kept their original beams and feature canopied four-poster beds.
