Alchimy

This is the sort of spectacular boutique hotel that you’d expect to find in central Paris—not Albi. The inspiration of two professional interior designers, every room is individually decorated with panache. Furnishings are super comfortable with armchairs, matching fabrics and colors and one-off accessories carefully sourced. Public areas are equally sophisticated, including an elegant outdoor terrace. The onsite brasserie is another must-experience venue with columns, mirrors, a glass roof, and modern chandelier. This is the restaurant of choice for chic locals. A la carte main dishes range from 18€ to 32€ but order the fixed-price menus for great food superbly cooked. Prix fixe lunch menus are 20€, with dinner coming in at 29€ to 39€.
