The Best Hotels in Angers, France
Set in the Loire Valley in France, this lively student city is not only known for its excellent local wine but also its medieval architecture, from 500-year-old houses to castles like the Châteaux d’Angers. Marvel at the ornate stained glass in Cathédrale St-Maurice, and explore the Terra Botanica from one of these top hotels in Angers.
Few French cities can match Angers for Medieval and Gothic charm. As part of a historic region once known as Anjou, the city’s buildings from the Middle Ages remain largely intact, accompanied by peaceful parks and manicured gardens. With a thriving student scene, this gateway to the Loire Valley is more than just a living history book; buzzing nightlife and splendid cuisine abound. With a wide variety of accommodation options, you’ll discover a former 17th-century convent and a countryside farmhouse among our list of the best hotels in Angers.
1. La Petite Charnasserie
Bed and Breakfast
There’s a homely, communal vibe to this pleasant farmhouse, just 10 minutes from central Angers. The shared open-plan kitchen and dining room promote interaction with other guests, as does the outdoor swimming pool. Although, with only four double rooms on offer, the property won’t feel overwhelmed with people. All rooms come with their own private toilet and shower.
2. Les Chambres de Mathilde
Bed and Breakfast
Wojtek and Marie-Yvonne Buss are the proud owners of this limestone property built in 1860. A photographer and journalist respectively, the guesthouse reflects the couple’s love of art and literature, furnished in classical styles, with decorative lampshades and exposed wooden beams. Along with a piano, chaise longues and an old-world trunk, the lounge features Marie-Yvonne’s impressive library of French and international novels, magazines and even comics.
4. Grand Hôtel de la Gare
Hotel
As the name suggests, this uniquely shaped hotel is a mere step away from the TGV train station. Its location means you are within walking distance of the top spots in Angers. A short walk away is the Collégiale Saint-Martin – the remarkable Gothic church that also houses a medieval crypt and museum – and the Maison des Vins, featuring wine tasting sessions with the top wines the Loire Valley has to offer. Rooms here are minimalist but stylish, with astute touches that include a reading light and charging point built into the bed headboard.
