Credit where credit is due. Ravel was a dandy. And if this suite was a person, it would be of his ilk. It's a place for connoisseurs, with floor-to-ceiling windows. There is even a view of the landscape from the bed. Your clothing will find space in the walk-in closet, of course. And just like in the Owner's Suite, we offer the guests in this suite an individual limousine transfer.
LIVING AREA
A dream in 750 square feet (70 m2) on the Debussy, the Owner's Suite features two bedrooms and two baths. There's also a stylish living room, where you can sit at the fireplace and read a book, dine privately with the family or sit at the desk and get a few things done on your laptop. Or on your own balcony. This suite guarantees guests a pristine appearance without any effort on your part. Give us your clothes - we'll wash and iron them. An exclusive limousine transfer between the airport or the train station will be looking forward to bring you on board.
The name says it all. Everything flows here in both senses of the word. And the flow of the river can already be seen through the panoramic window from the bed in the morning. Enjoy style and comfort, perfectly formed, a King size bed or optionally also twin beds. Sheer luxury far away from everyday worries – for romanticism à deux. But also for solo travellers.
BATHROOMAt nearly 18 square metres it's a little smaller, but you'll still enjoy great comfort in a Symphony Suite. Luxuriate in bed covers made of the finest cotton and start your day with a tea or coffee in bed with a view outdoors. The rain shower in the bathroom will revitalise you with energy for the day. A small desk offers you the opportunity to make some notes – after all, travelling with the Ravel is rich in experiences.
BEDROOMSeahorses like peace and quiet and enjoy their seclusion. And that's precisely what you can do in our eponymous suite. Even the bathroom tiled with marble and the double washbasins are wonderfully spacious. Perfect comfort on nearly 24 square metres. Luxurious materials and art on the walls.
BEDROOMDifferent tones in natural colours melodically coalesce to form a unity. Simply cozy, as the Americans would say. A King size bed and a walk-in rain shower make these suites charming places to stay. They are not called Melody Suites for nothing.
