Pullman La Pléiade Montpellier Centre

We just completed a marvelously pleasant stay at this hotel. We were finishing a one month circuit of western France and some of the hotels we stayed at were, well, kind of meh. This was a wonderful final stop. The hotel is linked via a parking deck which leads to a shopping mall, which leads to the Place Comedie which is the main pedestrian path in the old town center. Lots of activity and shops and side streets to explore! The hotel has a rooftop pool and bar which has a great view of the city. Pool was a bit cold but we braved it anyway. There is also a large hydro spa and steam and dry saunas. Great for relaxing after hoofing it around town. And the morning breakfast is fabulous with attentive staff that can figure out how to get you almost anything. Highly recommend and hope to return soon! Only negative was getting hit with a 40 euro cab fare after trying to walk it and getting a bit lost. Not the hotel’s fault, be aware it is an easy two stops on the tram if you are coming into the Gare St Rich train station!

Big rooms with extra large beds (US style Cal Kings), beautiful breakfast room on roof overlooking pool and views. Hearty breakfast for EU, very kind and attentive staff. Relaxing indoor spa pool (warm) and working wet and dry saunas.

Could not put Air Conditioning on below 20. Breakfast for $90 was very disappointing. The scrambled eggs were not hot and the bacon had an odd taste and smell and it didn’t look good. I had to fill up on toast. We ate out at Chez Alice which was terrific with all local homemade food for the remainder of our trip.
