Our favourite rooms
If a (Twenties-style, freestanding, roll-top) bath is a dealbreaker, don’t choose a Deluxe. If a balcony’s your bag, request a room with one when you book. All rooms have an art deco influence, with soft grey chairs, gilded edges and velvet headboards, but if you’d prefer to survey the streets of the lively literary quarter below, opt for an outward-facing room, rather than one overlooking the inner courtyard.
Spa
The award-winning Le Max Wellness Club Spa deploys Sisley Paris products for facials, massages and other rejuvenating rituals (which include vinotherapy and jet-lag cures) in its two treatment rooms.
Packing tips
Stubble, scarves and specs will help you look the literary part; a well-thumbed copy of an early-20th-century Spanish classic might help you keep up the pretence.
Also
Some rooms have been specially adapted for wheelchair users, but the restaurant isn’t wheelchair accessible.
