The Originals, Human Hotels & Resorts is a new generation of hotels run by enthusiastic staff with an incredible sense of hospitality. Their aim is to bring the best of independent hotel services to all travellers seeking an alternative offer. It's also a movement for more human, local hotel services.

With its group movement and vision of authentic hotel services, the Group has now grouped all of its hoteliers under a single, powerful brand: The Originals, Human Hotels & Resorts. This development has also led to a complete digital and marketing transformation.

For these people, each trip and each journey is another opportunity to grow as a person and a human being. This desire for authenticity has breathed life into a new-generation hotel brand that anticipates both traveller and hotelier needs: The Originals, Human Hotels & Resorts.

Welcome to Hotel The Originals Origines by Adrien Descouls in Issoire. The local boy who studied at the Chamalières catering school has gone back to his 'roots' after an acclaimed performance on the Top Chef 2018 show where he reached the semi-finals.

Sophie, manager of several hotels, and her teams welcome guests with a smile. In a great location, 200 metres from the A9 motorway and three km from Narbonne town centre, the hotel is also close to the Narbonne regional nature reserve on the Mediterranean and 10 km from the sea. It joins the category The Originals City.

For Chetan, a sense of hospitality and warmth is as important as the quality of the services on offer. He has always been independent and this year joined The Originals City.

At the heart of Quimper, in the historical district of Locmaria, Catherine and Hervé Laurent's three-star hotel whisks you away to a gentle, elegant world. The Originals Gingko Hotel is a chic, cosy hotel with a spa and garden. A serene ambiance.

Jean-Yves and Sandra have spent their entire careers in the hotel industry, first in north Finistère, then in Haute-Savoie for around ten years before setting up in Thouaré-sur-Loire in 2016. They are now joining the movement in the Originals City.

In the hotel and restaurant business for 15 years, Laurent and Stéphanie give a warm and friendly welcome to guests in a charming, cosy, very British setting. Think dashes of Scottish tartan in the rooms, club chairs and parquet floors in the common areas, 'chic country' furniture, a library and subdued lighting.
