La façade sud du corps principal est amortie par une balustrade interrompue, au-dessus de la porte médiane, par le fronton triangulaire. Deux pilastres cannelés soutiennent ce tympan.

The hotel presents important neo-classical decoration; it would be dated to 1785. The building was constructed at the location of a 15th-century building of which the west gable wall subsists. The hotel comprises a main building and two lateral perpendicular wings. The south facade of the main body is finished by a balustrade interrupted, above the central door, by a triangular gable. Two fluted pilasters support this tympanum. Above the door and windows runs a frieze decorated with interlace or meanders.
