Hôtel de Toiras

Ile de Ré, France

The Hotel de Toiras enjoys an exceptional location at the entrance of the port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, the historic capital of the island of Ré and offers ideal access, via its bridge, to the old town of La Rochelle. The façades, typical of the old Île de Ré residences subjected to the forces of the Atlantic Ocean for nearly four centuries, make the hotel an integral part of the activities and life of this harbour town and endow it with great natural charm. The Hôtel de Toiras harmoniously combines the traditions of Charente with the comfort of a luxurious hotel.

Overlooking the harbour or an aromatic garden, every room and every furniture has been thought and designed according to a character. From George Washington to Madame de Sévigné. A unique experience to remember.
