The Residence Mauritius is still considered as one of the jewels of the international hotel scene. Its mile-long beach of immaculate white sand fringed by tropical gardens, its refined and deliciously nostalgic decor inspired by turn-of-the-century plantation houses, its butler service surpassing the colonial palaces of yesteryear, its exotic and delicate cuisine… are only some of the ingredients which have contributed to the hotel’s success.
The decoration of the oversized rooms and suites (from 54 to 164 square meters) is an inspired blend of sobriety and elegance. The sun’s dance on the shutters sifts into the interior to create a melody of light and dark, its mottled shadows wavering over a muted Colour-scheme of white and delicate shades of beige, picking out harmonies of honey-coloured woods and wrought iron, highlighting nuances in the sandy tiles. The same sophistication is present in the hotel staff’s attire: the women wear long, sand-toned layered dresses or silk saris in natural colours while the men wear trousers and raw linen waistcoats.
