Hôtel Richer de Belleval - Relais & Châteaux

After a not great experience at another property which we did not end up staying at, we booked 6 night at the Hotel. From the minute we walked in we felt like royalty. They knew who we were and were expecting us. We booked this hotel 30 minutes before we arrived by the way. From the first greeting, we felt at home. We have stayed at very nice hotels though our 33 year marriage but not one met the standard of the Hotel Richer De Belleval. Every single detail is perfectly thought of. We did not pay for breakfast each day because we like to explore, but the breakfast experience alone make you want to come back each day. I can’t explain how welcoming ever single person has been. They take care of every desire. For example, this afternoon after a long bike ride my wife and I took to the beach. We returned and wanted to enjoy a bottle of wine my wife and I bought on an olive grove and wine tour two days earlier on the terrace. The team here was so accommodating and helped us uncork the wine and provide necessary glasses, etc. every time we enter and leave the premises for the day it’s like say hello and goodbye to your friend. I dot know what else to say. Tonight we are excited to dine at the Michelin rates restaurant three years running. We cannot wait. This will be a sad hotel to leave. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. The old town historic narrow street district is a gem to explore. Absolutely amazing.

An historic hotel in the centre of old Montpellier with around 20 rooms overlooking a square of flower beds. Rooms are spacious, well furnished and maintained. The hotel oozed charm and hospitality and the staff throughout are pleasant and helpful. I doubt it would be possible to better this hotel in Montpellier. One slight drawback is the hotel is set back amongst old buildings around 100m off the main Rue Foch and not easy to get to - we booked the valet parking service and were met on Rue Foch and guided in.

We stayed for 6 days as a family as part of a trip to France. We loved this hotel. Every staff member was polite and helpful. We had two beautiful rooms. The rooms were spotless, well equipped and beautifully decorated. The food in the restaurants was excellent. Highly recommend this hotel.

This is a seriously stylish hotel. Service is impeccable and it's everything you can expect from a 5* and more. Do not skip having a drink at the bar. The cocktails are great and remember to look up when you're there. It's a nice view :) I'm sorry I missed the chance to dine in-house. I'm told the food is excellent but there were just so many things to experience in Montpellier. I loved the indoor terrace where breakfast was served. Charming space. Rooms are good but heated oddly. The bathrooms, in particular, are freezing. We had a duplex and our bedroom was boiling. When we mentioned this to the staff, they were apologetic. The only way was to open the windows and switch everything off. Not an issue but we did get to hear the staff vacuuming and clearing up the tables etc if we got an early-ish night. I'm not a light sleeper so it didn't bother me. But it's something to keep in mind. Lighting is also a bit strange - quite dim and the motion-sensors at the staircase didn't work all too well which honestly is a hazard. I get being romantic and all but... maybe I'm just too practical? But I'm nitpicking. This is still a special hotel and it deserves to be experienced. Location is great, you're in the heart of the historic centre so you're within walking distance to everything but away from the chaos of the town centre. If you're driving into Montpellier, parking will be taken care of by the valets (they are fantastic - really fun characters and more importantly, helpful).

Second time. Everything is perfect, the room, the building, the staff and the location. We highly recommend it.

The hotel is beautiful in the most beautiful square. The staff is exceptional in every way. The original artwork in the rooms is an added bonus. Special praise for Antony who went above and beyond to make our stay so memorable.
