In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- Les Gypseries, one of the two junior suites, is the hotel’s largest, and has a mammoth-tubbed bathroom, floor-to-ceiling windows and a walk-in wardrobe. The hand-carved bucolic scene above the doorway is especially eye-catching, and the faux fur bedspread is wonderfully snuggle-soft. The two suites, Les Papillons and Les Pavôts, on the ground floor are ideal for long stays or family visits, as they share a full kitchen. Look out for the striking Cole & Son wallpaper (in particular the flamingoes in double superior Les Flamants Roses), themed on each room’s name.
- Packing tips
- Some kind of flagstone-friendly footwear – flip-flops in summer, or slippers in winter.
- Also
- Built in 1777 and named after its first owner, Baudon de Mauny has been in the same family for seven generations.

- Style
- Château in the city
- Setting
- Old Montpellier’s narrow streets
This centuries-old townhouse in the heart of Montpellier somehow condenses the palatial dimensions of a country château into a five-bedroom city-centre boutique hotel. Spread over two floors, Baudon de Mauny's sprawling bedrooms couple period features and ornate 18th-century plasterwork with Cole & Son wallpapers, swish modern furniture and a cutting-edge sense of style.
