I know Montluçon is not a tourist destination per say but if you find yourself crossing france and wonder where to make a stop, i highly recommend this place. It is by far the best hotel in the center of France, Lyon region included.
First of all, the hotel is located next to a park, perfect for a stroll after your meal and the area is very calm so you are not bothered by any external noise.
-The rooms are very new, modern, and super comfy. The aircon is very quiet and the bed is so comfortable it is hard to leave in the morning.
-Service is absolutely superb. Whether it is at the reception, the valet or the restaurant you wont be disappointed.
The restaurant has small menu but the food is exquisite. Breakfast buffet has pretty much everything you expect from a 5 star hotel.
Why does this pearl finds itself in Montluçon? Well the GM will tell you all about it but lets say the landlord also own La Reserve in St tropez and you can feel it is the same standard, which is upheld.
