What sets it apart
Its position in the conurbation is this hotel’s first argument, and it is an argument of work rather than of holiday. The Bagatelle Mall of Mauritius and the Phoenix commercial centre are minutes away; the Quatre Bornes flea market, one of the best known on the island, is within walking distance. Rooms fall into three categories, Standard, Superior and Suite. The conference room serves for seminars as well as receptions: it converts into a reception room for a cocktail, a dinner or a wedding.
The mood
One table, the Oriental Spice, a restaurant and bar lounge on the third floor. It serves Chinese, Asian, European, Mauritian and Indian cuisine by a Mauritian chef, a buffet breakfast, and lunch and dinner à la carte. The lobby has been redone with sofas to serve as a lounge, and it carries the bar. The hotel also has a spa and a gym fitted by Life Fitness, within its walls.
