The building was originally constructed as a noble residence in the 1500s and was converted into a hotel in 1799 by Catherine Pierron. During World War II, it was occupied by German forces from 1942 to 1944 before resuming full operation afterward.

Victor Hugo stayed here in the 1800s, and Napoleon's general visited in 1799 after returning from Egypt. In the 1900s, artists like Picasso and Dali also stayed as guests, adding to the building's artistic legacy.
