The nonsmoking rooms feature a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a mini-bar and a bathroom. A rich buffet breakfast is served every day. The Le Pain Quotidien bakery and restaurant in the building serves fresh bread and organic dishes. The M2 metro line is available directly next to the hotel.
