I’ve had a chance to visit a few nice French hotels recently. I’ll review them in no particular order.
Radisson Blu Grand Hotel & Spa Malo les Bains is located on a nice peninsula next to tempting sandy beaches. It has an excellent spa with real saunas, which is rare in France. Friendly youngish staff and a decent restaurant. The only downside is the fact that it’s pretty far from the city centre.
Loisium Hotel is in the heart of the Champagne region. In fact, it’s in the middle of nowhere, so you’ll probably need to have a car. It has a small spa including on outdoor pool that’s pretty cold. Works for an away day for your staff but it’s quite expensive. Friendly and multilingual staff.
Hotel Beauregard Sevrier is something else. It’s a cosy midsize establishment just outside Annecy by the gorgeous Annecy lake (picture). I especially loved their “Bulle nordique”, which is just a small sauna by the lakeside and a warm jacuzzi. It can be reserved by the hour. You can take a bus to the hotel from Annecy, but note that you must put your luggage in the bus trunk.
Maison Barbillon in Grenoble is a very stylish and instagrammable hotel just a stone’s throw from the railway station. It has a lovely library-like lobby with free coffee. Especially for anyone interested in the latest trends in hotels. Wonderful colours, lamps, and furniture with a retro twist.
Mercure Lyon Centre Saxe Lafayette is a large quality hotel showcasing the Accor touch. Large rooms and a small pool that is great if you have kids. The hotel is in the business district that has surprisingly interesting restaurants but is not very interesting otherwise. You can access the railway station and the riverside easily by foot.
