9 Rue de Rieux, 44000 Nantes
The Hôtel de la Cité offers a unique experience in a setting that harmoniously combines contemporary elegance with historical heritage. Located on a site marked by Nantes' industrial history, this establishment was opened in 2023 on the site of a former banana ripening facility, a vestige of a time when the city was a hub for exotic fruit trade. Today, this historic place has been transformed into a haven of comfort and modernity, ideally situated in the immediate vicinity of the Cité des Congrès, the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, and the train station.
The hotel's 97 rooms, designed by a Nantes-based architecture firm, offer an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. They combine a sleek design with modern amenities, such as a connected TV, an espresso machine, and high-quality bedding. Each space has been designed to ensure your well-being: the air conditioning is adjustable to your preferences, and a locally-made air purifier ensures a healthy atmosphere. The bathrooms, equipped with spacious showers and refined toiletries, add a touch of luxury to your stay.
The quality of the services provided reflects a particular attention to detail. The breakfast buffet will delight your taste buds with a varied selection, ranging from crispy pastries to hot dishes like scrambled eggs and sausages. For those who wish to enjoy a moment of calm, the Dukes Bar, open throughout the day, offers a friendly and elegant atmosphere, ideal for relaxing over a coffee or a cocktail.
The hotel also features numerous relaxation areas, including a terrace nestled in the heart of its lush garden. This nature haven, rare in a large city, is a popular spot for a moment of serenity, whether to enjoy a drink in the evening or simply to appreciate the tranquility of the place. Sports enthusiasts are not left out: a modern fitness room is available to maintain their routine.
Access to the hotel is particularly convenient thanks to its secure underground parking, equipped with electric vehicle charging stations, and additional spaces available nearby. Travelers can also rely on a 24/7 reception service to meet all their requests. Pets are welcome, allowing families and travelers accompanied by their faithful companions to fully enjoy their stay.
The location of the Hôtel de la Cité is a definite advantage for visitors. You can walk to Nantes' emblematic sites, such as the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, a symbol of the region's medieval history, and the Lieu Unique, a dynamic cultural space installed in a former LU biscuit factory. The historic center, with its cobbled streets and designer boutiques, is also just a few minutes' walk away.
