Built in 1896 by Benoite and Jean-Marie Soubirous, younger brother of Saint Bernadette, the Grand Hotel Moderne**** is a jewel of the early XXth Century French architecture. With its amazing "Baroque" frontage and its stylish "Art nouveau" living rooms designed by the famous architect Louis Majorelle, the GHM combines charm, elegance and comfort in the heart of Lourdes. Located at only 50 meters from the Sanctuaries, the hotel offers the easiest access to the Grotto and the tourist sites of the city. Its 110 rooms will be entirely renovated by 2008 (celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Apparitions). All of them are spacious, decorated with a great sense of taste and offer an high level of comfort. The hotel also provides a nice bar and a charming restaurant where you will enjoy a typical French-Italian food in a stylish atmosphere of mouldings, wood and marble from Carrare.
