Review
In Caen, where chain hotels dominate the scene, the boutique Ivan Vautier seems like a diamond in the rough. While it is located on the outskirts of Caen, the restaurant’s incredible food is worth the journey. Décor in the property’s 19 rooms is not impressive, but guests can expect each room to have a noticeable color theme of purple, lime green or orange. Luxe rooms and Junior Suites have more spacious slate bathrooms, while lower categories have just a shower. Some higher rooms are divided into two spaces by flat screen TVs, a convenient setup for families with young children.
Who Should Stay
Visitors looking for a boutique option in Caen and foodies who don’t mind an overpowering color scheme but otherwise unmemorable interiors.
