This is a 14-bedroom beach hotel and restaurant, with a subtle
balance between pure colonial style, dark mahogany, creamy beige
linen, and large canvases of modern art. The hotel is a cosy and
peaceful Creole mansion, overlooking the Indian Ocean's immensity
and under its refreshing trade winds, entirely organised for rest,
serenity and the pleasure of all 5 senses. It is also a modern art
gallery, presenting abstract painting, sculptures and pottery from
local and European artists. Guests are welcomed in a lobby with
24-hour reception and check-out service. There is a hotel safe,
newspaper stand and a restaurant on the premises. WLAN Internet
access is available and guests can take advantage of the room and
laundry services on offer. Those guests who are arriving by car may
park their vehicle in the hotel's car park.

Directions, How to get
there
From St Denis, driving along the coastal road (motorway), one must
follow a southwards direction, going through villages like St
Pierre and St Gilles to reach St Leu. Still driving along the south
road, the hotel is found on the left-hand side of the road; so turn
left in to the small road which leads to its car park.
