Calling archaeologists! Certainly the venerable 1870 Derlon has a perfect old-city location and 48 freshly renovated rooms, but what really makes it unique is the subterranean breakfast space with tables ranged around an entirely unexpected attraction – the unearthed remnants of a Roman piazza plus showcases of other found treasures accompanied by explanatory notes.
Somewhat busy decor uses modern art and ball-lamps, rooms come with Nespresso machines, gowns, minibar and trouser-press. Those overlooking the square cost €25 extra.
