Origin and history

The Hotel in Dijon, in the department of the Gold Coast, is an iconic 18th century building. This monument, partially inscribed in the Historical Monuments since 1971, is distinguished by its facade on street and roof, elements protected by ministerial decree. Its exact address, 24 rue du Chaignot, makes it an architectural landmark in the historic centre of the city, although the accuracy of its location is considered mediocre (note of 5/10).

The construction of this Hotel is part of the urban context of the Enlightenment century, when Dijon, then capital of Burgundy, experienced a remarkable cultural and architectural development. The private hotels of that time often reflect the social status of their owners, bourgeois or aristocrats, and serve as a framework for local social and political life. Although the sources do not specify its original use, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the Hotel is still localizable today, with an approximate address confirmed by GPS coordinates (26 rue du Chaignot). No information is provided on its current accessibility, whether visitation, room rental or accommodation.
