A McGallery Collection medium-sized property with an unsurpassed de rigeuer location for serious sightseeing and shopping travellers. Lit up in pink at night, it is an impressive historic structure overlooking Darcy Square/Garden conveniently walking distance to the prime tourist spots of old Dijon: the Cathedral, the Ducal Ducal Palace/Musee de Beaux Arts, Place de la Liberation, and feeding spots ranging from the Les Halles Dijon to the Michelin-starred L’Asperule. Diagonally across are the city tramway rails with a fortuitous station stop. Crossing the tram railway takes you to the Rue de la Liberte through the landmark Porte Guillaume (William Gate), which is the main sightseeing and shopping drag of Dijon’s old city center packed with period buildings. Equally fascinating side streets packed with historic structures and sites feed off this main street. The hotel itself has smallish rooms along dark hallways, with views of Darcy Square, its garden or adjacent buildings and furnished in spare modernist style with oversized modernist art copies and see-through bathrooms. Reception staff are charming but unexceptional. You basically take care of yourself here. The Bar is a very popular post-sightseeing relaxation spot with great cocktails and friendly wait staff, with occasional small live jazz entertainment at night.
