PB hotel design editorial

Among the grandest hôtels particuliers lining Montpellier's Place de la Comédie quarter, the eighteenth-century mansion that became Hotel Richer de Belleval carries its name from the city's most celebrated Renaissance figure — Pierre Richer de Belleval, founder of France's first botanical garden. That lineage gives the property its animating conceit: a dialogue between classical French architecture and something considerably more alive and playful. The limestone façade, with its wrought-iron balconies and deep-set green entrance doors, presents as restrained Languedocian neoclassicism; inside, the brief handed to the design team pulls decisively in another direction. The interiors navigate that tension with considerable confidence. The covered courtyard restaurant, where Ionic stone columns frame a sweeping stone staircase, grounds tables set on circular botanical-print rugs in rich jewel tones — a device that plants the contemporary firmly within the classical without disguising either. Guest rooms divide across distinct decorative registers: some preserve original ornamental plasterwork friezes and green marble chimneypieces, furnished with biscuit-velvet curved armchairs and empire crystal chandeliers; others strip back to raw limewashed walls, leaving fragments of antique painted borders exposed mid-surface, layering crystal pendants and pale blue painted joinery over the archaeological evidence. The bar sets its own terms entirely — slate-grey panelling, cane-backed seating in forest green, and a turquoise-lacquered drinks cabinet that borrows its energy from a Milanese aperitivo bar rather than southern France.

"A beautiful hotel in the best location in Montpellier. From the minute we arrived we received incredible service from the staff, and this continued throughout our stay. Lea (in Reception/Guest Services) was outstanding. So friendly, always ready to help and provide valuable information. Our room (no. 16) was lovely and spacious with a beautiful view and a very comfortable bed. The food in the restaurant was amazing and we were able to eat on the terrace overlooking the pretty square in front of the hotel. I would 100% recommend this hotel."

"We stayed at Hôtel Richer de Belleval for three nights in July, having stayed here several times before. This time we had a quiet room overlooking the back of this beautiful historic hotel, with excellent blackout curtains, effective air conditioning, and a very comfortable bed. We were also pleased to see a noticeable improvement in the reception service. The staff consistently greeted us with a smile whenever we entered or left the hotel, making the atmosphere much warmer and more welcoming than on previous visits. Our only minor criticism concerns the valet service. Although we texted our arrival 10 minutes in advance as instructed, the valet was not ready when we arrived. In a city like Montpellier, where driving can be challenging due to the many one-way streets, this created some unnecessary stress. It would have been better for us to call ahead of time. Overall, however, this was another excellent stay, and we look forward to returning."

"This is my second time at this hotel two years apart and I find the staff to be some of the most thoughtful and friendly of anywhere I’ve ever stayed. I’ve been with a girlfriend and now my daughter and they make every effort to help make reservations and are always willing to go above and beyond to make the stay special. I would highly recommend this hotel, it’s beautiful and creative and very welcoming."

"An authentic Relais Chateaux in the middle of old town, difficult to access by car. Very nicely restored building, beautiful bar and restaurant, great food. Rooms are nice and big. Super friendly professional staff."
