LA CITADELLE
HOTEL – METZ
4-Star Luxury and Michelin Star in Former Military Fort
The La Citadelle
Hotel of Metz has come a long way, from former military food storehouse
to a
premier hotel in the capital city of Lorraine. The
La Citadelle is set in a tree planted park near the old historical center
of Metz, where the Romans first established their stronghold in ancient
days, later transformed into a massive 16th Century walled fortress to
protect the important trade city on the Moselle River. The walls of the
old Citadel fort are mostly gone and the building the La Citadelle occupies
remained an empty historical monument until turned into the current luxury
hotel by innovative owner, Christophe Defossé and his wife, Delphine.
The conversion project has turned a former military food warehouse into
a modern luxurious hotel design of forward contemporary décor
emphasizing intimacy, wellness, and gourmet gastronomy.
The La Citadelle
Metz offers a central location between the Arsenal Concert Hall, the
Metz Esplanade
Park and the Governor’s Palace.
It is a perfect location to discover the center of town and its many
attractions. Just steps away is the fascinating Templar Chapel from the
city’s height of power in the Middle Ages and the St Pierre-aux-Nonains
Church, one of the most complete buildings of the Roman era, now an event
venue. The new Centre Pompidou contemporary art museum which is now Metz
flagship is just 10 minutes away. Dine
in the gourmet restaurant, Le Magasin aux Vivres, where Christophe Dufossé, Metz’ only Michelin star chef, blends classicism
with invention, recreating the traditional French “national dish” of
Quiche Lorraine with his own updated lighter take, and combining local
homespun farm flavors with the exotic fare of tropical islands in a unique
menu. Cooking demonstrations are offered on arrangement and for the wine
enthusiast, Chef Sommelier Thomas Vimbert holds an “Introduction
to Oenology” class on Saturday afternoons. For those who just prefer
to relax with a casual drink and conversation, the Bar Ambiance Lounge,
offers a wide variety of cocktails, single malt whiskies, champagne and
exceptional wines in a cozy and warm atmosphere. © Bargain
