Labourdonnais Waterfront Hotel

Port Louis


An ultrasmart business hotel on the Caudan Waterfront, the Labourdonnais has excellent, light-filled rooms – even the standard ones are huge – and an understated, slightly old-world elegance takes centre stage. All rooms have cavernous bathrooms, and most have excellent views of the city and harbour, particularly the 'turret rooms' at each top corner.

Facilities include gym, pool and business centre, and there are a number of eateries.
