Accord

Helen Shiner: This is what immediately springs to mind; grandiose being rather derogatory

Neutre

Michael GREEN: If it's a restaurant, I don't think "residence" is appropriate (unless the restaurant is part of a hotel). "mansion", perhaps ?

26 minutes

-> but it is what the word "demeure" implies, even if that is only what it was in the past.

Neutre

Jim Tucker: probably "elegant" rather than stylish, speaking of an historic building

Désaccord

konungursvia: a residence is not really what we're talking about here

1 heure

-> plenty of restaurants are housed in former "residences" and it is the meaning of the French word used.

period residence

Explication :
In the context of hotels and restaurants, 'de style' generally means 'in a traditional style', either reproduction or original. (Hotels describe rooms furnished with antique or reproduction furniture as 'meublé de style'. I think here it might mean that the building which houses the restaurant is in the same style as the nearby historic houses.
