“In a newly renovated Art Deco building, this contemporary family run boutique hotel adds a touch of the jet set to the sleepy historic town of Albi. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that couples wanting a luxurious base from which to explore the city and surrounding area will love!”

Hotel Review

Albi, hometown of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec sits in the expansive landscape of the Midi-Pyrenees and plays host to a museum of the painter's work and the truly magnificent Sainte-Cecile Cathedral. Staying at Alchimy hotel is a luxurious treat. Staff are exceptionally helpful co-managed by brother-sister duo, Nicholas and Laura. The hotel is super high spec and hi-tech. Spacious rooms have touch-lighting and are sumptuously furnished with designer chairs, lush silk satin curtains, oversized urns and exotic art. En suite Carrara marble bathrooms are concealed behind sliding mirrored doors and have 3-headed walk-in showers and Philippe Starck multi-functional "sensowash" spray shower toilets with heated seats. The popular in-house brasserie serves gourmet cuisine in an atrium lit by an impressive Murano glass chandelier. Breakfast can be taken in the dining room or in the comfort of your lavish quarters.

Alchimy: a boutique hotel in Albi

No croissants for me; today I’m eating smoked salmon and charcuterie for my breakfast outside Alchimy, a boutique hotel and brasserie that would sit comfortably in any fashionable Parisian street.
