“I was impressed with the hotel's unique conversion of a 17th-century convent into residential-style suites. Its location in the Panier district offers a quiet escape, still near the Old Port and MUCEM. The design shows attention to detail, and I particularly appreciate the fully equipped kitchens for longer stays, providing a blend of history and modern comfort.”
