9 Rue Monseigneur Trouillet, 54000 Nancy
Push the wrought iron gate: a paved courtyard opens up, punctuated by the central fountain and finely openwork balustrades that still separate the galleries of the former manor house today.
The building, erected in the 16th century and listed as a Historic Monument for over forty years, offers the tangible presence of the Lorraine Renaissance while housing a four-star hotel.
In the hall, a fireplace crackles during cool evenings; it accompanies a thoughtful welcome where time is gladly taken to present the house and its features.
Two distinct lounges complement each other: one, spacious and adorned with old paintings, invites you for an evening drink; the other, more intimate, serves breakfast each morning, featuring pastries from the neighborhood, artisan jams, and freshly pressed juices.
Upstairs, the square tower with stone steps leads to seven doors, including three rooms and four suites. Each has its own identity: velvety fabrics in deep tones in one, bright light and sleek furniture in another.
Carefully restored period parquet flooring sits alongside top-quality bedding, adjustable air conditioning, and high-speed Wi-Fi; a secure safe allows for the storage of laptops or professional documents.
The private bathrooms alternate between contemporary tiling and retro fixtures; some feature a deep bathtub, while others have a spacious walk-in shower.
From the windows, the view falls either on the slate roofs of the Old Town or the inner courtyard shielded from city noise; in the evening, the murmur of the fountain gently soothes your return to the room.
To extend the relaxation, the terrace allows for a sunny coffee or reading a guidebook before setting off to visit the museums.
A concierge service handles ticket bookings, bike rentals, and transfers; the team is particularly responsive to late arrivals thanks to express check-in.
Business travelers have access to a small, flexible conference space; the estate also hosts family gatherings and intimate receptions, benefiting from the charm of its lounges.
As it is a historic building, access to the upper floors is exclusively by stairs; the establishment prefers to inform at the time of booking that the accommodation may not be suitable for all mobility needs.
Finally, the Hôtel d’Haussonville does not have its own restaurant; however, the bar menu offers a glass of Moselle wine or a light platter before heading to partner restaurants recommended by reception.
From the gate, it takes just four minutes to reach Place Stanislas, a UNESCO gem adorned with golden gates that light up every evening with a sound and light show from May to September.
The Musée des Beaux-Arts, housed in one of the square's pavilions, showcases European painters from the 15th to the 20th century and features a remarkable collection of Daum crystal in the basement; allow for an eight-minute leisurely walk.
A twenty-minute stroll follows the Art Nouveau façades to the Musée de l’École de Nancy, perfect for understanding the city's role in the decorative movement at the turn of the 20th century.
Continue to the Villa Majorelle, the first fully Art Nouveau house in France: its sculpted staircase and stained glass windows fully justify the visit.
Closer by, the Palace of the Dukes of Lorraine and the Parc de la Pépinière offer an appealing alternation of historic rooms and tree-lined paths, ideal after a day of work.
If your stay coincides with the Nancy Jazz Pulsations festival in October or the Saint-Nicolas celebrations in early December, reception will help you obtain tickets and seats, and you can then return to the peaceful courtyard at the end of the concerts.
