"Only a few years old, this 28-room hotel is set within the soaring space of a nineteenth-century chapel in Nantes, a handsome old port city at the mouth of the Loire that is one of the fastest-growing urban centers in France. Public spaces and guest rooms have bright white walls, cool grey granite pillars, high vaulted ceilings, and a suitably austere ambience. There's not a lick of fanciful, colorful stained glass here."
