IN FRANCE, A ONE-TIME PALACE IS REINCARNATED AS A STUNNING HOTEL

France’s Provence region has long been a diamond for everyone from the ultra-wealthy to creatives like van Gogh, and even chefs like Julia Childs and James Beard. It radiates a certain enchantment and romance, all of which make it the perfect setting for Hotel de Tourrel, a current new addition to the hospitality scene.
The hotel, ironically enough, makes its home in a former palace, so when we say “palatial rooms,” we aren’t exaggerating. Owned and re-designed by architect Margot Stängle, the structure proved to be a wealth of treasures for the intrepid creator. Stängle with the help of her partner, Ralph Hüsgen, wanted to create a modern space that still evoked the mystique of the building’s former life.
