From Hôtel Radio's inception as a radio station in the 1930s, it has stood as a representation of beautiful Art Deco aesthetics popular in that era. The owners preserved many classical features of the radio station, such as the wrought-iron elevator. Metal crafts from that era also decorate the halls, along with mosaic tiles and mirrors. The hotel's hosts Caroline Mioche and Wilfrid Chaplain will likely have plenty more stories if you ask.

Design and Architecture

Although it was built in the 1930s, Hôtel Radio is arguably a product of the Années Folles or "Crazy Years", France's equivalent to America's Roaring Twenties. The building's symbolic Art Deco architecture is a glimpse back to that era. The eye-catching edifice stands apart from the medieval buildings and modern homes of Clermont-Ferrand.

Inside the hotel, guests will find more antique and vintage furniture hearkening to the 1920s and 30s. A wrought-iron elevator, seen often in Noir movies, and stylish metal mirrors are just some examples.

Apart from gourmet specialties, seasonal items grace the menus and tables of the restaurant. There are also exclusive Club Lunches offered so contact the management if you're interested.

Reservations: Bookings for stays and tables can be made through the official website.

Although Hôtel Radio does not host wedding ceremonies, they do have an event space available for celebrations and receptions with a capacity of up to 60 guests.
