Located in Saint-Paul, La Réunion, Hôtel Laçay is a historic building originally purchased in 1846 to become a hotel.

Hôtel Laçay is an old building located on the island of La Réunion in the southwest of the Indian Ocean. Situated at Quai Gilbert 6 in Saint-Paul, the hotel and its floor are listed as Monuments historiques since December 13, 2010.
