Hotel Princesse Flore ★★★★★
History meets luxury in the beautiful ancient spa resort of Royat.
By Edward Fairbairn, VeryChic correspondent
The Puy-de-Dôme département in central France takes its name from the area’s highest volcano. The same heat that used to flow through its ancient rocks still warms the thermal springs of Royat, a charming village set amongst its foothills. These ancient healing waters are perfect to escape the stresses of everyday life and relax with a soothing spa break in the Hotel Princesse Flore. Set right in the heart of the country, life here is authentically French, while the hotel itself offers standards of luxury and style that live up to its prestigious history – a winning combination!
Completely renovated, the hotel is an eruption of luxury, style, comfort and relaxation, which has remarkably kept its traditional 19th century atmosphere and style. The refined and sophisticated décor is not only apparent in the bedrooms – where you will find a marble bathroom, plush bathrobes, a towel warmer, and a large television – but also throughout the hotel. There are also more contemporary touches on the chic roof terrace, providing a magical setting to enjoy an aperitif. Downstairs, at La Flèche d'Argent, Chef Clément Barbary’s traditional yet inventive cuisine is an eruption of flavours within a great décor. The attention to detail ensures that the surroundings are also just as exquisite down here, with every ornate light fitting, every piece of polished silver, and every bouquet of flowers simply oozing class.
There is plenty to see and do in Clermont-Ferrand, one of the oldest cities in France, who’s 20th century boom left it with an eclectic mix of sights, monuments and architecture, from the ancient to the art nouveau. Around Clermont-Ferrand, there are mountains, volcanoes and the plateaux of the Massif Central, with mighty gorges and river valleys. There is, therefore, an impressive range of things to see and do around the hotel. So, whether you prefer to spend an afternoon on a volcanic hike or in a gently bubbling hot tub, as long as you appreciate stupendous luxury and beautiful surroundings, there is one place absolutely perfect for you – the Hotel Princesse Flore.
