“What strikes me most about Le Dupleix is its commitment to preserving the allure of French colonial architecture; originally the mayor's residence, it's now a 5-star heritage hotel. The courtyard restaurant, sheltered by a 200-year-old mango tree, offers a particularly charming dining setting and the customizable dining events are appealing. This hotel is a unique blend of history and contemporary comfort.”
