Maison Gallieni

The stay

The "Maison Gallieni" was built in 1879 on the site of a granite quarry and used to house the first bank created in Madagascar. Located on a hill, in the historic heart of the Malagasy capital, it offers a spectacular view overlooking the town.

Maison Gallieni stands on a hill that once supplied granite for the city below. The original 1879 building, once the premises of Madagascar’s first bank, now serves as a refined residence where guests move between quiet garden corners and the pool terrace. Inside, restored rooms carry the calm of the old stone walls, while Wi-Fi keeps modern connections open. From every angle the view sweeps across the capital’s rooftops.

Placed in Antananarivo, the lodge forms a natural first or last stop on a tailor-made safari. Guests can settle into one of the four room categories before heading out or returning from wildlife reserves, using the property’s hilltop vantage to ease the transition between city and bush.
