This hotel, a unique type in Tours and rare in Touraine of construction in brick and stone of the Louis XIII period, comprises a main building composed of two perpendicular wings. At the intersection of these two wings, the roof space is dominated by a square construction of two storeys. To the west, a secondary wing extends, defining a second courtyard to the south. The south facade is contiguous to a hotel built later.
