Auberge Saint-Antoine

Frommer's Review

There isn't enough space here to chart the evolution of this uncommonly attractive property from charming waterfront inn to landmark luxury hotel. It began with an 1830 maritime warehouse with a soaring ceiling, dark beams, and a stone floor. A modern wing and a remodeled 1727 annex then were added, connected by a copper-mansard central structure. During the course of excavation, ancient walls were uncovered and remain in view, and artifacts unearthed in the process are now on display throughout the hotel -- in public areas, at the door to each room as an identifier, and at bedside, lit with an underwater-like blue glow. Rooms are modern and sleek: seafoam-tiled bathrooms feature bathing nooks with rainshower nozzles directly overhead, and details include luxury linens, plush robes, a Bose sound system, heated bathroom floors, and no-fog mirrors. Many of the rooms have balconies or terraces, six have fireplaces, and a few suites have kitchenettes. The auberge even offers a small cinema to watch movies in. A striking new lounge serves breakfast, lunch, snacks, and drinks, and the high-end restaurant, Panache, took over the original warehouse lobby.
