Our philosophy

The more globalised and standardised the world becomes, the more we want to experience something authentic when we travel. Whether we’re stopping off for a few hours or a few days, for work or for pleasure, there’s nothing more exciting than chatting with locals and feeling the soul of a place.

At The Originals, Human Hotels & Resorts, The Grand Hôtel de la Gare, we believe that beyond every anonymous hotel there is a hotelier, beyond every city there is a neighbourhood vibe, and beyond every room there is service: the human touch.
This is why each of us remains an independent hotelier and an artisan.
We are as much of a movement as we are a brand.

Passion is what led each of us to build or invest in our hotel and choose this profession. Each of us offers one or several unique experiences. From luxury to budget hotels, the various categories all share the same commitment to quality and comfort, though each hotel approaches this in its own, personal way.

The Originals, Human Hotels & Resorts are a new way of making the most of local life.

A new way of experiencing a hotel with a more personal, authentic and human touch.
