Other onsite features of the hotel include two meeting rooms, banquet facilities, and a gourmet restaurant that serves up good but expensive local dishes. There is also a pool for the sunny days when you just don’t feel like making the trip down to the plage or into the town of Narbonne.
As part of Bertrand’s overall agro-tourism vision, the hotel houses a gourmet food shop with all kinds of goodies from the region like olives, jams and honey, as well as local handicrafts. The shop is also where you will find Bertrand’s wines, which, if not the most distinctive the region produces, have at least won some awards and are very reasonably priced.
The other interesting thing about them is that Bertrand owns vineyards all over Languedoc and Roussillon, so you can try a good cross-section of the region’s wines. The hotel can also arrange for winery tours not only to Bertrand’s facilities, but also to other producers in the area.
L’Hospitalet might not have some of the Old World charms of other hotels in the region’s ancient cities, but it makes for a great base to explore the wines, beaches and history of the surrounding area.
