What you'll love

The talented chef combines local with French influences to create remarkable dishes (try the grilled zebu fillet with green pepper sauce, delicious prawns and bad-for-your-waistline desserts).

Insiders tip

It's worth spending an extra day to visit the private Lemur Park, some 23 kilometres west of Anatanarivo, where you'll see nine diurnal species rambling freely.

Something to think about

The hotel is a popular wedding venue so there might be a party going on if you’re staying over a weekend, but any additional noise shouldn’t bother guests.

The property

The high-roofed main area is a large, cool space, with plenty of intimate seating areas. All meals are served in the airy dining room. Don't miss breakfast buffet with its variety of cheeses, really good breads, meat (zebu, ham and turkey), fruit, pastries, cereals and delicious hot chocolate – enough to keep you going throughout the day. Dinners are mellow affairs, with soft lighting and a menu with something for everyone. Enjoy the spa, heated pool and free wi-fi.

Activities

Cultural

Wander through the gardens or visit the spa, where there's a Jacuzzi, a hammam, a heated pool and various massage and beauty therapy rooms. Visit the Lemur Park and its endearing occupants.
