The Pompadour Suite has all the hallmarks of modern, luxury living, effortlessly combining them with the elegance and grandeur of 18th century décor.

And beyond the décor, there is the fascinating history surrounding the suite’s inspiration and namesake – the Marquise de Pompadour.

The Marquise was the long-standing mistress of King Louis XV of France. It is rumoured that she first attracted the king using art, decorating her apartments with lavish furnishings and paintings by her favourite artists.

She went on to become a patron of the arts and a symbol of femininity and passion. She filled the historic court of Louis XV with objects of grand luxury, which defined this era of French style – from the porcelain ornaments to the rich tapestries.

This unique suite is furnished with luxurious silk by Prelle, trimmings by Declercq and striking chandeliers by Lucien Gau. There’s more than just a hint of the Marquise’s elegant touch, which is, of course, entirely fitting for a palace hotel.

Despite the historic flair, modern technology brings the suite right into the 21st century. High-speed Wi-Fi, a 55” Bang & Olufsen television in the living room, and a waterproof television in the bathroom are just a few of the state-of-the art features guests can expect during their stay.
