English term

a four-poster covered in strict red-and-gray cloth

English to French Art/Literary Tourism & Travel
It occupies the shell of a 17th-century mansion on the Keizersgracht, Amsterdam’s prettiest canal. Here is where you stay if you’re in the mood for a high-design supper in the restaurant (Asian fusion, exquisite, seven little courses or more—who’s counting?) or a night in a four-poster covered in strict red-and-gray cloth.
