Hotel Le Père Léon—a designer boutique hotel in Toulouse, near the Place du Capitole
Hotel Le Père Léon is a designer boutique hotel in Toulouse near the Capitole, located between the Augustins Museum and the banks of the Garonne River.
Le Père Léon was founded in 1905 by Léon Sentenac, and has stayed in his family ever since. Originally famed as a wine bar, the establishment has since expanded its activities, all the while continuing to respect its history. Today it is still a traditional brasserie, but with a contemporary décor and a modern, yet authentic menu created with the help of chef Jean-Marc Boyer, a Michelin-starred chef at Puits du Trésor in Lastours. A few magnums of wine dating from the old wine bar days add a vintage touch to the décor. Le Père Léon is also a designer hotel whose distinctive rooms create a cozy retreat, perfectly located near all the main attractions of Toulouse.
Hotel Le Père Léon—a delightful dialogue between history and design in the heart of “La Ville Rose,” the Pink City.
