Address: 1 rue des pertuisanes , Montpellier 34000, France
It is the privileged position this mirage of shimmering glass has overlooking the rooftops of 21st-century Montpellier that make it so special - and surreal. Not that anyone could miss the towering block with its flush of flags and luxury cars pulled up in front.Built in the 1980s as a hotel, the building pierces Montpellier's astonishing Antigone quarter. Bask in unprecedented views over breakfast each morning in the 8th-floor cocktail bar, or from the luxury of the rooftop swimming pool and pocket-sized fitness centre. As with many a Sofitel hotel, four-star rooms warranting no complaints sport ubiquitous furnishings in rose or lavender, and public areas are heavily adorned with oversized flower arrangements.

Plunge into neighbouring Le Polygone, downtown Montpellier's 1970s shopping complex, for a spot of mainstream shopping. Should food markets be more up your alley, then it is Halles Castellane (rue de la Loge) and Halles Laissac (rue Anatole France) - both indoor with particularly fantastic fresh fish counters - and the bijou Marché des Arceaux (blvd des Arceaux) beneath the arches of Aqueduc de St-Clément that you want.
The Antigone quartier, a surreal 1980s neoclassical housing project, is the masterstroke of Catalan architect Ricardo Bofill.
