La Cour des Consuls Hotel & Spa, in Toulouse: the MGallery spirit by Sofitel
Nestled in a charming 18th century family homestead, at the heart of the old part of town, also known as "the pink city", this flagship of the Accor group is hidden behind a discreet brick façade. And between its walls, all the refinement of a 5 star comes to life in a cosy atmosphere, with a Champagne Bar, suites with sobre aesthetics—all offering a sensation of preserved intimacy, including a Spa coached by Graine de Pastel, without forgetting the gourmet rendezvous of Toulouse, Le Cénacle, the table of Thomas Vonderscher that produces a magnet effect for refined palates. www.cite-hotels.com

Guests come here for the deluxe rooms whose bow-windows offer a view on the vegetalized patio. Without forgetting Jane, the restaurant featuring panther motifs and the concoctions of chef Jean-Christophe Gille.
