In the town of Limoges, the Best Western Plus Hôtel Richelieu**** is an early 20th century private mansion, renovated into a charming Best Western hotel. Well-situated between the city’s two districts, this authentic hotel is ideal for couples looking for a romantic getaway to explore this gorgeous region, and the nearby châteaux in all tranquillity. Enjoy Best Western comfort in the heart of the Limousin region for your next trip to France!
The quaint façade of the Best Western fits in with Limoges´ most characteristic buildings such as the nearby town hall and churches. This provides an ideal, authentic base for couples looking to explore the Limousin region.
Dating from the beginning of the 20th century, the Best Western has been renovated and equipped to provide guests with comfort in a charming setting. Indeed, the interior décor has kept its former character of an exclusive residence all throughout its construction work, yet includes all the modern amenities you may need. To spend some downtime here, you can enjoy a drink at the bar, or better yet, discover the Limousin region through its heritage, culture and traditions in the cosy hotel library.
This authentic haven of tranquillity is ideally located next to the city centre and the Quartier du Château – Limoges’ castle district – so that guests are immersed at the heart of both ancient and Art Déco architecture. For a better insight into Limoges’ 2000 years of history and culture, guests are also close to the city’s many museums, such as the Fine Arts Museum. This museum showcases an impressive collection of ceramics and enamels and has made this city one of UNESCO´s newest creative cities. On top of the historic and artistic scenes of Limoges, guests can indulge in the Limousin’s flavourful gastronomic heritage, rich in its terroir.
As such an important part of the Limousin region, the Best Western has worked to establish an eco-label, meaning you can visit this creative city in a sustainable way to preserve its beautiful heritage.
