Former palace of the Primate of Lorraine, the Hôtel Littéraire Stendhal is a superb 17th-century historical building, conceived as an extension of the Notre-Dame de l'Annonciation cathedral with which it shares a wall.

Ideally located in the heart of Nancy's historic center, just a few minutes' walk from Place Stanislas, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the hotel is the perfect setting for a stay in this city of unparalleled elegance, whose cultural aura continues to expand.

Interior designer Aleth Prime - who has already orchestrated the design of several establishments in the group - crafted the decor of the Hôtel Littéraire Stendhal, and its 41 rooms, around two themes: Italy, so dear to the writer, and his admiration for Napoleon Bonaparte.

As with all Literary Hotels, numerous bookshelves are placed in the spaces, and their display cases are intended to house hundreds of paperback books, rare editions for bibliophiles, and the writer's manuscripts. And the collection of works and manuscripts gathered around Stendhal is particularly rich.

Each room is personalized and stands out from the others by bearing the title of a Stendhal novel, a character from his work, or a place he traveled to. Will you sleep with Lucien Leuwen, Fabrice del Dongo, or in Parma?
