A forerunner in the luxury business , the Hotel Le Meurice in Calais, the first of its name, exists since 1771. First, the Royal Post House, "LE CHARIOT ROYAL", the owner, Charles-Augustin Meurice, had the brilliant idea to add an inn to provide luxury accommodation for English travellers. His son, Louis-Augustin Meurice, founded in 1818, the Hotel Le Meurice, rue de Rivoli, today, the most famous palace in Paris. The first hotel Meurice in Calais, destroyed during the last war, was rebuilt in 1954-55. It's imposing and massive structure, its outstanding inside volumes, its elegant main stair with wrought iron and brass banister, its large and stylish main lounge, give it the image of a Castle, "mini-palace" as written in some guides. The period furniture gives it even more this image of a Castle. A three star Hotel, but built to four star standards, a haven of peace and tranquillity, the Hotel Meurice friendly atmosphere and charm await you right in the heart of the city. Close to the station, 5 minutes from the beach, terminal ferries, 10minutes from the tunnel. Hotel has Wifi connection in the room. Hotel is located in the city centre and 5 minutes from the beach.
