Marnie & Mister H

You might not wish to spend an evening in the suspenseful atmosphere of a Hitchcock movie. Psychological tension aside, of course, the aesthetics are irresistible. Marnie & Mister H, a boutique hotel named after one of the legendary director’s last thrillers, takes inspiration from the film’s sleek sixties-era style. Housed inside a 16th-century house in the historic center of Rennes, the hotel has just five guest rooms characterized by old-world elegance and cool retro shapes. Each is uniquely decorated, but all are plush and photogenic with oak wood flooring, colorful patterned wallpaper, mid-century modern furnishings, and petite, charmingly tiled bathrooms. Breakfast is served to your room, but guests also have access to a cozy lounge with a striking stone fireplace and a Chesterfield sofa, an especially cinematic venue after dark when tapered candles illuminate the room with a warm glow.
