Description
The hotel was most likely been built during the parliamentary period of Jehan de Mausccal. The hotel tower is one of the highest in the city, reaching 30 meters. In the courtyard, the facades are decorated with arcatures resembling jaws and lit by column windows surrounded by frames adorned with crossettes. The tower begins here and is accompanied by a round turret on trunk. Although square outside, the tower contains a staircase with circular walls. This spiral staircase ends with a Corinthian pillar, from which eight ribs support a cylindrical vault with ivy and tiercerons. The tower ends with a raised terrace. In the courtyard, a gallery connects the two parts of the hotel, composed of two unequal arcatures which frame the windows.
