Hôtel Le Sauvage in Besançon

Hôtel Le Sauvage occupies a former 19th-century monastery in Besançon’s historic quarter. The building looks across the city and the Doubs valley, while its 24 rooms combine original parquet floors with interiors inspired by the 18th century.

A former monastery in the old town

The historic building is a defining part of the property. Its location in the old quarter places guests within the part of Besançon highlighted by the directory entry, and the hotel has views over both the city and the Doubs valley.

The rooms are arranged across five floors served by a lift. Some have balconies overlooking the hotel’s park, but this feature is not described as standard in every room and should be requested specifically if required.

Rooms and suites

There are 24 rooms in total, including several suites. Their restrained, warm decoration draws on 18th-century style, and the original wooden parquet flooring has been retained. The directory entry lists a flat-screen television, direct-dial telephone and Ethernet connection among the room equipment.

Bathrooms have either a bath or a walk-in shower and are furnished in a period style. Room category, bathroom layout, balcony access and views vary, so the published description should not be taken to mean that every feature is available in every room.

Breakfast and meal service

Breakfast can be served in a guest room, in the lounge or on the terrace. The directory entry also notes that meal trays may be prepared on request. It does not describe a conventional hotel restaurant or provide details of menus and serving times.

These arrangements add a choice of settings within the property, particularly when the terrace is in use. Guests relying on room service or a particular breakfast location should confirm what is offered for their dates.
