Presentation

The Originals City, Le Beaujoire is located in a small residential street in Nantes, away from the urban hustle and bustle, without taking you far from what makes the city appealing. This intimate hotel, with its 48 rooms, cultivates a homely atmosphere rather than that of an anonymous establishment, giving it a distinct character from the first moments.

The location is one of the property's strong points. Just a few metres away, the Parc des Expositions and the Beaujoire Stadium structure the neighbourhood, while the Erdre and the Beaujoire Floral Park bring a soothing touch of greenery to the immediate surroundings. Whether you come for a trade fair, a match or simply to explore Nantes, you will be well placed.

Getting around is not a particular problem from the Beaujoire. Nantes city centre is about ten minutes by car, and Nantes Atlantique Airport around twenty minutes. For those travelling by car, free private parking is provided, which is a concrete advantage in a city where parking can quickly become an issue.

Electric vehicle charging points are also available on site, an amenity that reflects attention to contemporary travel habits. You arrive, plug in, and enjoy your stay without worrying about anything else.

The hotel offers 48 rooms, including two adapted for guests with reduced mobility. This attention to accessibility naturally fits into an overall approach to comfort, designed for different types of travellers: weekend couples, families, business travellers.

Rooms can accommodate two to three people and come with varied amenities depending on the category. Some are on the ground floor, others on upper floors, and a few open onto a balcony or terrace, offering an extra pleasant outdoor space in any season. The size is identical from one room to another, but the facilities differ, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs.

The decoration strikes a balance between sobriety and warmth. The chosen tones create a relaxing atmosphere without falling into the coldness of overly minimalist design. It feels simply comfortable, without having to adapt to an overly conceptual universe.

Each room has a functional work desk, useful for those who need to work between appointments. High-quality bedding and a separate sitting area complete the equipment, along with free Wi‑Fi available throughout the premises. A safe is also provided in the room to secure your belongings.

Air conditioning is available only in some rooms, which is worth anticipating, especially for a stay in the height of summer. The good news is that this information is known in advance: simply state it when booking to ensure you have an air-conditioned room if that is an important criterion for you.

The street where the hotel is located is quiet and residential, which guarantees nights without noise disturbances. It’s a detail that often makes a difference after a long day of meetings or sightseeing.

The hotel restaurant, Le Bistronome, is worth spending time on. Air-conditioned, it serves lunches and dinners in a pleasant setting. The cuisine highlights fresh, local products, and the daily chalkboard regularly changes to reflect the seasons. From Monday to Thursday, dinners are served from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM, a flexible time slot that adapts to everyone’s rhythm.

What stands out about Le Bistronome is its sincere approach: no fixed menu, but a lively cuisine carefully prepared from what the market offers. It is useful to know, however, that dinners are served only from Monday to Thursday. If you stay at the weekend, you will need to plan to dine out in the evening, which, in a city as well supplied as Nantes, will present no shortage of options. For weekday lunches and stays, Le Bistronome remains a real asset.

The hotel bar allows you to pleasantly extend an evening or take a break during the day. The terrace and garden offer outdoor relaxation spaces, appreciated when the weather allows.

For business travellers or event organisers, the hotel has flexible meeting rooms, a banquet hall and the possibility to organise meetings, receptions and family events. The multilingual staff makes communication easier in an international context. A luggage storage and a safe at reception complete the practical services available.

The breakfast buffet is offered at an extra charge. It is a classic option that allows you to start the day at your own pace before heading to the Parc des Expositions or driving into the city centre.

Nantes offers many discovery opportunities from the Beaujoire. The Château des Ducs de Bretagne is both a historic monument and the Nantes history museum and is an essential visit. Its permanent collections trace the city’s history from the medieval period to the present day, and its temporary exhibitions regularly renew the site’s appeal.

The Nantes Museum of Fine Arts, fully renovated and enlarged, is one of the richest in France outside Paris. Paintings, sculptures, photographs and contemporary installations sit side by side in generous, well-curated spaces. A few steps away, the Jardin des Plantes offers a vegetal, bucolic pause ideal for a walk without a specific destination.

For those who enjoy more unusual experiences, the Machines of the Isle, installed in the old shipyards on the Île de Nantes, offer an imaginary universe blending Jules Verne and Leonardo da Vinci. The giant mechanical elephant, the multi-level Marine Worlds carousel and the ongoing Heron Tree project make this site an attraction as original as it is memorable, enjoyed by both adults and children.

Nantes is also a festive and cultural city all year round. Le Voyage à Nantes, a summer festival that transforms the city into a contemporary art trail, and the multiple events hosted at the neighbouring Parc des Expositions make this destination a relevant choice whatever the time of your visit.

Whether you come for business or pleasure, the Beaujoire brings together in a calm setting everything you need for a well-organised stay. The warm atmosphere, the well-kept rooms, Le Bistronome’s table and the proximity of Nantes’s major facilities make it a practical and pleasant address. The team that welcomes you brings genuine attention, with the simple but sincere ambition to make you want to return. Booking here means choosing a hotel with character without overdoing it, and one that keeps its promises day after day.

Some activities and sights near this hotel

  • The Beaujoire Floral Park is a few minutes’ walk from the hotel. Its 34 hectares run along the Erdre and host a rose garden of nearly 20,000 rose bushes across 1,500 varieties, an iris garden, magnolias and several contemporary sculptures including a work by Jean Jullien installed at the entrance. A walk accessible in any season, particularly beautiful in spring.
  • From the Beaujoire park, it is possible to reach the banks of the Erdre on foot or by bike, then follow the river south to the Jardin des Plantes. This green route of around two hours crosses quasi-woodland spaces by the water, far from the noise of the city, and is a great way to discover Nantes other than through its monuments.
  • The Château des Ducs de Bretagne, about ten minutes by car or tram, deserves half a day. The inner courtyard and the ramparts are freely accessible every day from 8:30 AM. The Nantes history museum inside is ticketed (€8 per adult, free for under-18s and on the first Sunday of each month from September to June) and regularly offers high-quality temporary exhibitions.
  • The Machines of the Isle, installed in the old shipyards on the Île de Nantes, are one of the city’s most original attractions. The giant mechanical elephant, on which you can ride for a walk, and the multi-level Marine Worlds carousel should be booked online in advance, especially at weekends and during school holidays.
  • For football fans or simply sports enthusiasts, the Beaujoire Stadium, a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, offers guided tours of around 90 minutes that allow access to the locker rooms, the edge of the pitch and VIP areas. An unusual experience for non-supporters as well as fans of FC Nantes.
  • Le Lieu Unique, the former LU biscuit factory converted into a cultural centre in the Bouffay district, offers a varied programme all year: concerts, exhibitions, theatre shows and performances. Its basement bar is a popular meeting point for locals in the evening. Check the programme before your arrival to anticipate events that suit you.

Summary of some positive reviews read on the web

  • Came for a trade fair at the Parc des Expositions, I found the location perfect: literally opposite the entrance hall, no car or parking stress. The hotel parking was available for the evening. I will come back without hesitation for the next event.
  • The team is really attentive, available and smiling at all times. You could feel that the people who work here love their job, which is a pleasant change from some places where the staff seem merely to be present.
  • The breakfast pleasantly surprised us: generous buffet with cheeses from a local farm less than five kilometres away. These kinds of details make all the difference and give real character to the establishment.
  • We had our child with us and the hotel provided an extra bed without difficulty. The room was quiet, clean and well equipped. Easily accessible by tram to reach the city centre, which was perfect for visiting Nantes without taking the car.
  • Very good value for money for Nantes. The room was comfortable and bright, the Wi‑Fi worked without problems throughout the stay. Access to the street is via a code, which gives a welcome feeling of security.
  • Weekday stay for business meetings. The meeting rooms are well equipped and the organisation by the hotel team was impeccable. Dinner at the restaurant in the evening was simple but well prepared, with a daily chalkboard that changes according to the market.
