Grey Room

35sq m | Views of the street, port and sea | French doors open out directly onto the hotel’s leafy terrace, furnished for alfresco drinks, with views of the Med | As the name suggests, this room is painted in a soothing dove-grey shade, with antique statement pieces, sage-green velvets and terracotta tiles | It’s dedicated to Gilbert Elliot, a former Viceroy of the Anglo-Corsican kingdom who used this room as his library; his portrait hangs grandly above the bed, and the wrought-iron Juliet balcony railings bear his initials (one of the few salvageable original features in the building) | Seating area with wicker furnishings and a small reading nook | King-size bed | Bathroom with a decoratively tiled floor, bath tub with a handheld shower and heated towel rail; a window overlooks the terrace, but there are shutters for privacy | Dressing room | TV, storage, fridge, air-conditioning, free WiFi, Isula Parfums bath products | One extra bed or baby cot can be added to sleep three guests
