The bedrooms and suites are superbly appointed, each with its own private bathroom, color television, radio, and direct dial telephones. Many of the first floor bedrooms are exceptionally large, and are named after members of the Court of Louis XVIII, who lived in them nearly two hundred years ago. Several bedrooms on the second floor open onto a sheltered roof garden.
