Hotel 4-star in Nantes

Presentation

Brit Hotel Nantes La Beaujoire appears at the end of Boulevard des Batignolles, where Nantes ring road skims the exhibition center and where the Beaujoire stadium stands its grandstands a few minutes’ walk away. Guests often arrive by car, after nightfall, after a match or a long drive, and the parking area with its electric charging stations is immediately reassuring.

At reception, open day and night, the welcome is straightforward. You hand over a key, ask what time breakfast is, and settle in ten minutes what elsewhere would take half an hour.

The rooms, renovated in 2023, embrace simplicity. A large desk, a 43-inch television with satellite channels, a Nespresso machine placed near the window. The bathrooms, carefully refurbished, deliver on their promises: a large shower, magnifying mirror, and a hairdryer that actually works. In some rooms, a safe is ready for the next day’s papers.

The property is located at the edge of a busy intersection, between interchanges and streams of cars. The windows, however, filter out the essentials. Close the curtains, switch off the light, and the road noise almost entirely disappears, a real strength for anyone seeking an uninterrupted night after a day at a trade fair or a concert at the Beaujoire.

Nantes historic center, meanwhile, remains about twenty minutes away, via the tram stop 400 meters from the hotel. It is not the promise of a stay on foot through the streets of Bouffay, but rather that of a practical base for a trade show at the exhibition center, a match, or an overnight stop on the road.

On the ground floor, the bar opens at 10 a.m. and does not close until 1 a.m. Regulars from the neighborhood stop by for a coffee, while passing guests extend the evening over a glass of organic wine or a Spered beer brewed in Nantes. In the afternoon, sharing boards circulate among the tables.

The restaurant, for its part, serves only in the evening, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., except for group reservations at lunchtime. The menu changes every week but remains deliberately concise, with two starters and two main courses: a limited choice that has the merit of coherence, the kitchen focusing on a few well-mastered recipes rather than spreading itself thin across a long list.

In the morning, the buffet highlights local producers: jams from Coteaux Nantais in Vertou, biscuits and madeleines from Biscuiterie Saint-Michel, bread from Boulangerie Orizet a kilometer away. Nothing extraordinary in presentation, but everything is fresh and recognizable.

The buffet opens as early as 6 a.m. on weekdays, a real advantage for an early train or a morning business appointment. On weekends, it waits until 10 a.m. for those who prefer to linger a little longer.
