Montreuil-sur-Mer – Charming hotel within a historic 18th-century residence

Le Touquet Sotheby's offers for sale an 18th-century cut-stone townhouse, a magnificent historic residence ideally located in the heart of the fortified town and currently operating as a hotel.
Built in 1777 and listed as a Historic Monument, this former aristocratic home possesses a rare heritage character. Throughout its history, it has hosted such luminaries as Napoleon Bonaparte, Marshal Ney, and General Douglas Haig.
Since 2019, the property has undergone extensive restoration, carried out with respect for its architecture and historical features. Moldings, woodwork, fireplaces, overmantel mirrors, antique tiles, and the central staircase have all been preserved and highlighted.
The establishment now offers 14 guest rooms, complemented by two independent pavilions of 50 sq m and 60 sq m, designed as private suites with a living room and kitchen. This layout offers genuine operational flexibility, allowing it to target a diverse clientele, including tourists, families, and those seeking extended stays.
The common areas include an entrance gallery leading to the reception area, which also serves a breakfast lounge and a bar. A particularly elegant interior courtyard of over 200 square meters provides space for receptions and events.
The establishment, awarded 3 stars by Atout France since 2022, boasts an established business and a strong reputation. It also presents several avenues for development, notably in fine dining, event planning, and holiday packages.
Its location is another significant advantage: Montreuil-sur-Mer benefits from the tourist appeal of the Opal Coast while maintaining its own distinct clientele and identity, linked to its heritage and surrounding environment.
Beyond a traditional hotel acquisition, this property represents a unique investment opportunity, ideal for a buyer seeking to combine operational success, high-quality real estate, and historical character.
