In a novel set pre World War One an English couple travel to Dieppe, go to the Cafe des Tribunaux, and stay in a hotel described as ornate. In hotel guides I can't find a Dieppe-area hotel fitting the description. Has an older (nineteenth century or very early twentieth century) hotel survived? I'd love to visit it.
Although the famous Cafe des Tribunnaux is featured in the novel unless the hotel is name it could be fictitious. The only two older nearby hotels I can think of are the Au Grand Dusquesne in Place St Jacques and, a little further away, Les Arcades in Les Arcades de la Bourse. I should mention it is 7 or 8 years since I stayed in Dieppe and that time in a seafront modern hotel round the corner from Les Arcades. It is also possible that some buildings/hotels close to the harbour were damaged or destroyed in WW2. If you are a fan of older, small hotels should you ever visit Lille I would recommend Hotel Breughel near the church of St Maurice - close to the station but almost in the heart of the old town.

yes its fictitious, of course. the hotel de la plage is very nice facing the beach. where we had stayed, plagehotel.pagesperso-orange... and this one sits on the location where Canadians storm the shores in WWII hotelwindsor.fr/hotel_gb.htm... Dieppe is very nice, and see the market for a great cheese, a great kick in the A.. , right by the St Jacques church. enjoy the trip
