GRAND HÔTEL CAPITOLE - DOWNTOWN TOULOUSE

Located at the corner of Place du Capitole and Rue du Taur, the Grand Hôtel Capitole will open in March 2027. It will feature 101 rooms, a courtyard, a restaurant, a bar, and a spa, all housed in a building that has long been a familiar sight in Toulouse.

The hotel

Located at the corner of Place du Capitole and Rue du Taur, the Grand Hôtel Capitole occupies a building that has long been a fixture in Toulouse.

One hundred and one rooms, seven apartments, and six suites, arranged around a courtyard and a patio—two rare oases of tranquility right in the heart of the city.

The renovation was entrusted to interior architects Biehler & Gravelaine. Terracotta floors, light woods, veined marble, coffered ceilings, wrought iron: a southern aesthetic, refined yet free of nostalgia.

You can recognize Toulouse and its legendary square without even needing to name it.

Like all Orso hotels, the Grand Hôtel Capitole is designed as a home open to its neighborhood—frequented as much by those who stay there as by those who live there.

Our rooms

One hundred and one rooms, six suites, and seven apartments arranged around the courtyard and patio. In the attic, the exposed wood framework remains visible: dark beams, sloped ceilings, and irregular spaces that have not been altered.

Color schemes flow from one room to the next: Toulouse pink, a deep khaki. Oak floors, light woods, wrought iron. The apartments have their own kitchens: you can leave your belongings there for a night or for a month.

THE BULL and Taur Street

In 250, Bishop Saturninus refused to sacrifice a bull at the city’s Roman temple. He was tied to the animal. The beast bolted, charging north through Toulouse, and stopped only at the end of a street that would take its name: “taur,” meaning “bull” in Occitan. This street still exists.

It connects the Place du Capitole to the Basilica of Saint-Sernin along a 350-meter stretch of Roman road that pilgrims have traveled for centuries.

Halfway along the route, the Notre-Dame du Taur church marks the spot where, according to tradition, the body was laid to rest. The Grand Hôtel Capitole stands on the corner. That is where the street begins. And it is this bull that appears on our sign.

SPACES

LA COUR CAPITOLE - Opening Spring 2027
‍
A large open-air courtyard, just a few steps from Place du Capitole yet removed from its hustle and bustle. It is the heart of the building and a legendary spot in Toulouse. Here, you can enjoy breakfast in the sun, work in the afternoon, and dine in the summer at large communal tables.

It can also be reserved for private events: a concert, a party, or a launch party. A courtyard of this size right in the heart of Toulouse—there’s nothing else quite like it.

THE BAR - RESTAURANT

Open from morning to night, it offers simple dishes and ingredient-driven cuisine. A marble counter, a china cabinet filled with ceramics, a wall of ochre bowls. You’ll come here for a coffee, a drink, or dinner—though it’s not quite a hotel restaurant.

THE PATIO
Smaller, more sheltered, and more intimate. An ideal space that can be reserved for private events, located in the heart of the hotel.

THE SPA — opening in September 2027
Indoor pool, massage rooms, sauna.
