Aparthotel in Nantes

Presentation

The Zenitude Nantes Métropole appears as soon as you exit the ring road, between the Beaujoire stadium and the avenues of the Parc des Expositions. You almost always get there by car. The private, free parking welcomes vehicles without any hassle, just steps from the rooms. Nantes city center is still ten minutes away by road. Not really the kind of place to stroll on foot to the Dukes’ Castle, but the address plays another card: convenience, for anyone coming to work at a trade fair or attend a concert at the Beaujoire.

At reception, one detail to note. On weekends and public holidays, the front desk closes between 12:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Nothing troublesome if you plan to arrive in the morning or late afternoon, but it’s better to know before planning an improvised check-in on a Sunday at noon.

The apartments, 119 in total, range from studios to one-bedroom units. You’ll find a proper sleeping area with a 160x200 bed, a desk placed by the window, and a living room spacious enough to leave an open suitcase without playing Tetris. On the bedside table, USB outlets are waiting for the phone you left to drain in the car.

The kitchenette takes up one wall. Cooktops, fridge, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, full tableware: enough to improvise dinner without going back out. The bathroom, for its part, focuses on the essentials. Shower, nothing superfluous. Hot water comes quickly, and that is often all you ask for after a day on the road.

As for housekeeping, the service follows the length of stay. For stays under two nights, you tidy up yourself, a way to keep your privacy without someone coming in every morning. Beyond a week, a full weekly cleaning takes over, with sheets and towels changed.

On the ground floor, a snack bar doubles as a convenience store. Breakfast, served on weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., is available at an extra charge, buffet style. You’ll often see regular business travelers on site, tray in hand before a meeting.

The laundry room runs 24/7. A gym lets you keep up your routine even during a temporary stay, and a few drink vending machines provide an evening backup. The Green Key label, displayed at reception, says a lot about how the property is managed—water, energy, sorting—without needing to come back to it all the time.

For family stays, a baby crib is available free of charge. Several studios are designed for accessibility, with entrances and bathrooms adapted for people with reduced mobility.

In the evening, a shopping center and several restaurants are just a few minutes’ walk away, more than enough to replace a kitchen you do not feel like turning on. And for those extending their stay for leisure, La Baule and Pornic are 45 minutes away by car, a day trip with sand and sea air included.

One last practical tip. If you arrive on a Saturday, aim for the morning to collect your keys without waiting for the 4:00 p.m. reopening.
