Plaza Madeleine

Sarlat-la-Canéda, France

Set in a grand old building with pale blue shutters lining the façade, Plaza Madeleine Hôtel & Spa is located just steps from the heart of medieval Sarlat. Its historic features are teamed with a modern warmth and style and the renovated rooms and pub-style bar provide a comfy and convenient retreat during a visit to the capital of the Dordogne region.

The 41 rooms and suites at Plaza Madeleine feature a contemporary design with neutral, earthy hues throughout. All feature modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, air conditioning and international TV, and have bright, modern bathrooms and windows overlooking the garden or small square in front of the hotel.

The hotel also boasts a heated outdoor pool, a Jacuzzi and spa, and the quiet garden and terrace make a good spot for an evening drink. Alternatively, there’s a convivial indoor bar and the choice of Sarlat’s many cafés, bars and restaurants just a short walk away.
