Rooms are split across two buildings; the half-timbered 17th-century Pavilion and the more modern 20th-century Pressoir. The former is where Monet himself once stayed (in number 22), choosing a room with four windows on each side to make the most of the light, while Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot used his room (number 19) as his studio. Here, the rooms are cosier in both size and style, with French countryside décor, warm wood-panelled walls and furniture, and vintage Venetian glass chandeliers. You’ll also get to enjoy the same picturesque views which once enticed the Impressionists.
If you’re looking to spread out, then the Pressoir offers larger rooms, all with their own terrace or balcony and views of the estuary. The three suites here are particularly vast, with four-poster beds and large salons closed by heavy double doors, but it’s the two junior suites which will charm you, with gorgeous wooden beams, oak-panelled walls and marble-topped antique furniture. In contrast to the rooms, bathrooms are disappointingly bland, furnished in unimaginative beige and with plastic molded bathtubs. However, what they lack for in style they at least make up for in size; expect corner bathtubs in the Pavilion, huge walk-in rain showers in the higher category rooms, and an Aroma and Light therapy shower in the suites.
In each room you’ll find a minibar, toiletries courtesy of Hermès, a television and DVD player (free DVDs are available from reception), and an iPod and iPhone station. Suites also come with Bang & Olufson speakers and a Nespresso machine.
