Very cosy and good looking art deco colonial hotel on a very good location within Fort the France.
We were staying for two days since we had to take the ferry to Dominica. This hotel is located only about 15 minutes (by taxi) from the airport (although you don’t hear any planes flying by) and about 15 minutes (walking) from the ferry docking location.
In front is a Central Park (savanne) and directly behind the park you will find fort St. Louis. Straight out of the hotel on the left side is Bibliothèque Schœlcher which looks amazing and right behind the hotel is located the cathedral St. Louis.
We had a room on the 3th floor with a big balcony and nice firm bed with surprisingly good pillows. Airconditioning worked perfectly and the room was very spacious. The bathroom is big enough and the shower was decent although the temperature of the water fluctuated a bit. Shower head was high enough for the both of us (1.75m and 1.9m).
Don’t be surprised that you will hear some sound coming through from the outside as it is located near the park and a road. One very good food stand across the street plays some loud music (till about 2300) which you will kind of hear in your room. Also, in the early mornings (0530) the park is being cleaned which will cause some sound coming through as well as the cathedral while ringing is belles. However, some earplugs work fine to overcome this sound (if bothered by it.
Staff of the hotel is nice, friendly and professional. Speaking both English as French.
If I would have to stay in FDF again I easily would pick this hotel again!

Loved the location of the hotel, across the streetfrom savanah park, easy to get to the cruise terminal as well as to the vedettes tropicales boat to the beaches. Room(superior,3rd floor) was beautiful! The terrace was dreamy and the decorations gave an out of time feeling. The property might be a little worn but it is clean and well kept. Only caution: bring ear plugs. There is a guy blowing leaves from 4AM in the park.every night!!!!

When I saw the pictures of the Hotel L'Imperatrice, it was imperative that we stay there. The atmosphere inside is charming and tropical, as if you are staying there during the colonial period. The decor is, I believe, different in each room. All having to do with the history of Martinique and its people. We had two rooms, going and coming from a week's cruise. and each was different. Excellent location, across from the Savanne Park which is lovely. Down the street is the bay and docks. Restaurants and stores are nearby, even a Haagen-Dazs, Local hang-out! We found the staff to be hard-working and friendly. Christina at the lobby desk was so helpful and always professional and cordial to all. Edwin was great helping us. and the room attendants took care of our rooms very nicely. We would love to return some day! Thanks to all! (free breakfast until 9 a.m. offered juices, coffee, tea, fresh fruit, small croissants and breads, eggs, ham and cheese and yogurt, etc.)

Nice decoration, with lots of wood, in the Creole style. Well air conditioned and comfortable room. We were on the 5th floor, overlooking the sea. There are 2 nice terraces. It's clean. Breakfast is varied, with fresh fruit salad and traditional chocolate. Pension is very well located: city center, near the ferry terminal.

I have already submitted a review of this great hotel. My husband and I loved everything about this old-style boutique hotel. All the people who work there were helpful and professional. The balcony was used often-we could see the beautiful Savanne park and the harbor to the right. We felt the atmosphere of colonial times in an otherwise modern hotel.

The hotel has plenty of charm, but service is inexistant, they don't answer the phone if you call, they don't answer emails. Late check-out, forget it. Need help with tourist info, forget it to. Breakfast will provide calories, but that's it, coffee undrinkable. Cleaning is lacking and there a are cocroaches in the room, restaurant and halls

I spent a couple of nights at this hotel earlier in the year.
The location is excellent. Right on the savanna, close to shops, restaurants and the fort. Walking distance to both the international ferry and domestic boats.
The room was pretty small. Not much space for anything other than the bed. Nice balcony overlooking the aforementioned savanna.
Reception staff spoke English, as did the friendly lady running the cafe/bar in the daytime. Communication was a little more difficult in the bar in the evening. Do yourself a favour and learn at least a little French when visiting their current and former colonies.

We spend there one night before a cruise. The hotel is quite a noisy one. But it is in a very good place if you are on a ship cruise. You can go to the Cruise Terminal on you feet. No need for further transport. Lovely small colonial type room. We did not have breakfast in the hotel. There are several shops nearby.
