Why we love it: The Hotel Les Armures exudes character as only a 17th
century building can. The Prestige Junior Suite has immaculate wooden
floors and beamed ceilings, while blending modern furniture with historic
hearths, wrought iron and dressed stone walls. More compact in size,
yet big on comfort, the hotel makes its mark with understated simplicity.
Incorporating warm, neutral colors, the suite is a beautiful blend of
comfort and luxury. The room comes with a double bed, a bathroom with
separate shower and toilet, a mini-bar and a work station.

private lounge, and a room for games and entertainment with its own pool
