Presentation

The Absinthe Hotel, located in the historic center of Honfleur, offers an unparalleled experience between the charm of picturesque alleys and the beauty of the city's iconic fishing port. At the entrance to the Pays d'Auge and the Côte Fleurie, this establishment stands out for its unique setting and warm welcome throughout the year.

The hotel offers 11 comfortable rooms, spread between the 16th-century Old Presbytery and the Sailors' House, facing the port. Each room, carefully furnished, is equipped with a modern bathroom with a whirlpool bath, air conditioning, a safe, and a television. The classic rooms, ideal for two people, offer an area of 18m2, while the superior rooms, slightly more spacious at 23m2, offer a pleasant view of the port.

For those who seek even larger space, the deluxe rooms offer 34m2 with the possibility of adding an extra bed for a child up to 12 years old. The comfort suites, located on the top floor, are particularly spacious with their 40m2. The Old Presbytery suite offers a stunning view of the old town and the port, while the Sailors' House suite is equipped with a walk-in shower and a sauna, perfect for a moment of relaxation.

The Absinthe Hotel also offers practical services such as free wired internet connection and private parking, although the latter is located 300 meters from the establishment. This slight distance is compensated by the pleasure of strolling through the pedestrian streets of Honfleur, where every corner reveals a part of the local charm.

The hotel's restaurant, also named L'Absinthe, is located on Quai de la Quarantaine. Between exposed stones and wooden beams, you will enjoy gourmet and inventive cuisine with flavors from the land and sea. The air-conditioned terrace-veranda, adorned with Persian rugs, adds a touch of elegance to this already exceptional setting.

During your stay, don't miss visiting the iconic sites of Honfleur such as the Carousel and the mussel beds of Honfleur. These attractions, located near the hotel, offer an authentic glimpse of local life. For food enthusiasts, several nearby restaurants offer regional specialties. Among them, L'Homme de Bois, Le Bréard, and Côté Resto are particularly recommended for their oysters. If you prefer Italian cuisine, Il Parasole, Amoretto, and La Commanderie will not disappoint.

Honfleur's history museums, such as the Musée du Vieux Honfleur and the Museum of Ethnography and Norman Popular Arts, are also must-visits for those who wish to learn more about the city's rich past.

For cultural event enthusiasts, Honfleur offers a variety of activities throughout the year. The local market, music festivals, and exhibitions by local artists are opportunities to immerse yourself in Honfleur's culture.

A walk along the Old Basin, where trawlers return in the morning after a night of fishing, is an experience not to be missed. The fresh smell of the sea and the lively port atmosphere create an idyllic setting to end the day.
