Scene
Private home turned hotel with Art Deco interiors and a romantic vibe
Hotel Parc Victoria appeals to couples and families, and gets lots of weekend vacationers. It's housed in what was originally a private residence built at the end of the 19th century, with a facade that resembles a Victorian dollhouse. The hotel opened in 1991 and joined the Relais & Chateaux group in 1996. With lovely green grounds that abound with flowers, potted plants, pathways, and furnished patios, it’s a peaceful place to stay, while the intimate, Art Deco interior creates a refined and romantic vibe. Several parlors are filled with antique furnishings, Victorian-style artwork, printed rugs, and displays of collectibles such as owl and cat figurines and vases. The effect is elegant, but some guests may find the old-fashioned decor a bit stodgy. Breakfast is served in a charming room with a glass atrium and tan tablecloth-covered tables with floral-printed china. The restaurant has garden-themed decor, with ivy-patterned textiles and views of the gardens.
