L'Absinthe Hotel
Honfleur, Normandy, France
This sympathetically converted 16th-century presbytery “felt more like a home than a hotel” to visitors. Central, but “with no extraneous noise at night”, it combines traditional style with contemporary touches.
Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
This sympathetically converted 16th-century presbytery “felt more like a home than a hotel” to visitors. Central, but “with no extraneous noise at night”, it combines traditional style with contemporary touches. “Our attractive bedroom had a beamed ceiling and an excellent modern bathroom with spa bath.” “Our fabulous suite had the most palatial bathroom ever.” The small lounge has magazines, sofas and a big fireplace. “In the breakfast room, good warm croissants and excellent juice were served by quietly friendly staff.” Under the same ownership, “two hops away”, are the brasserie, La Grenouille, “where the meals are tasty and reasonably priced”, and L”Absinthe restaurant; there's also La Bistro du Port. The secure parking, though “slightly inconveniently” situated half a mile away, is appreciated, “given the popularity of the resort”.
