Bicycle Storage
Upon arrival at the hotel, designated bicycle parking spaces will be available in the underground garage and will be clearly marked. We kindly ask you to park your bicycles carefully and considerately, as each allocated parking area will accommodate up to 10 bicycles positioned side by side.
From 4:00 PM to 8:00 AM, a security attendant (provided by an external company that also operates at the Tour de France) will be present in the garage to supervise the area throughout the night.
Outside these hours, the bicycles will not be supervised, although they will remain inside the garage. Please note that the garage is accessible to all guests staying at the hotel.
It is strictly forbidden to take bicycles into the hotel rooms.
Thank you for your cooperation and for respecting the hotel's regulations.
