(TAN): Radisson Hotel Group has opened its first Radisson Individuals property in the Normandy region of France — the Les Maisons de Léa.
Located in the heart of the main square of Honfleur, Les Maisons de Léa, a member of Radisson Individuals, is a boutique hotel comprising a main building dating back to the 16th century as a former salt storehouse, and five adjacent houses that were added subsequently, resulting in the property’s name.
Honfleur is among the most popular destinations in France. The beauty of the town has captured the attention of impressionist artists and is featured in works of art by Claude Monet and his mentor Eugéne Boudin. Honfleur’s old port was used for commercial and leisure purposes for centuries. The historic waterfront is lined with colorful café terraces where visitors can wander the cobbled streets and admire the beautiful combination of stone and wooden buildings, visit the unique Jardin des Personnalités, or explore the nearby Plage du Butin to admire the view of the coast and the Pont de Normandie.
The hotel is situated 150 metres from the old port and facing the historic church of Sainte Catherine. Restaurants, museums, and art galleries surround the city squares, giving visitors plenty to explore.
The property has 43 spacious rooms and suites, all in soft design featuring Moroccan cement tiles as well as bronze and brass accents. The houses include the “Petite Maison”, a 15th century house with three floors, and the “Maison du Jardin”, which is a former nursery school from the 19th and 20th centuries, now home to the property’s meeting and events space.
“We are thrilled to open Normandy’s first Radisson Individuals property, a stunning boutique hotel in a beautiful area. We offer four of Radisson Hotel Group’s brands across 18 properties in France, presenting guests with a range of hotel options for every trip and occasion, and we look forward to guests enjoying this beloved hotel,” said Tom Flanagan Karttunen, area SVP for Radisson Hotel Group in Western & Northern Europe.
