What sets it apart
This is a city business hotel, fifteen minutes from Port Louis and thirty-five minutes from the airport, and what makes it interesting to a leisure traveller is what surrounds it and what sits on its roof. The Gallery Pool Bar is on the rooftop, with a lounge and a pool looking over the Cybercity, and can be booked exclusively. The hotel holds a Mauritian library, a Petrusmok book shop, art exhibitions, and hosts live concerts, fashion shows and stand-up comedy at the Backstage Lounge Bar, Friday evenings above all. Four covered padel courts, run around the clock by iPadel, are on site.
The mood
Grain d’SEL is the Mauritian table, open daily 6.30 am to 10.30 pm, last order included, with an internationally inspired menu drawn from local produce, among works by Mauritian artists. SushiMe is the Asian table, lunch Tuesday to Friday 11.30 am to 3 pm and dinner Monday to Saturday 6.30 pm to 10.30 pm, closed all day Sunday. The Backstage Lounge Bar opens daily 11.30 am to 11 pm, and the Gallery Pool Bar Monday to Saturday 11 am to 9 pm, closed Sunday and public holidays. A pastry shop, Rocher Coco, completes the set.

Good to know
- This is a business hotel with no beach: the beaches are a thirty-minute drive, and the hotel is chosen for the city, for work or for the evenings.
- SushiMe closes all day Sunday, and serves no lunch on Monday or Saturday: Grain d’SEL covers those slots.
- The Gallery Pool Bar closes on Sundays and public holidays, and can be booked exclusively: ask before counting on the rooftop pool.
- Friday evening is the hotel’s lively night, at the Backstage: avoid it if you want quiet, aim for it if you want a night out.
- Room service runs from 7 am to 10.30 pm only.
- One hundred and fifty shops stay open until 10 pm in the nearby shopping malls.
