Hotel de Bourgtheroulde

Gothic Romance

This historic hotel welcomes guests in the heart of the ancient capital of Normandy, where more than 500 years ago bas-reliefs were carved on the Hotel De Bourgtheroulde in rouen – then a grand palace – to celebrate the field of the cloth of gold meeting between king henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France.

Inside these striking Gothic walls – which have won the building a place in the French Historic Trust – guests discover Brasserie des 2 Rois, serving regal French cuisine; classic cocktails at the lofty Atrium Bar; and the 700-square-meter SPA complete with a steam bath and sauna. Outside the doors, premier tourist attractions such as the Rouen Cathedral, the Musee des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, and the Medieval Quarter are nearby.
