The Sōzō Hotel in Nantes embodies a perfect harmony between history and modernity. Located in a 19th-century chapel, this establishment offers a unique experience by transforming a place of worship into a boutique design hotel with 24 rooms, including an exceptional suite. From the entrance, the charm works: under a 17-meter vault, the lobby bathes in a soothing atmosphere, enhanced by period stained glass windows and furniture designed by masters of design such as Starck, Panton, or Bouroullec. Every element of the decor seems designed to offer a feeling of serenity and sophistication.
Facing the Jardin des Plantes and just steps from the Nantes train station, this four-star hotel enjoys a prime location, perfect for exploring the city. The historic center, the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, and the Cathedral of Saint Peter are only about a ten-minute walk away. This proximity to the city's iconic sites makes Sōzō an ideal starting point for enriching urban getaways.
The rooms at the Sōzō Hotel, divided into three categories – Experience, Temptation, and Seduction – showcase limitless creativity. Each space has been designed respecting the original architecture, incorporating details like apses, columns, or stained glass windows. Some offer breathtaking views of the Jardin des Plantes, while others, like the suite, reveal surprising features: central bathtub, stained glass headboards, or mezzanine spaces. Calm reigns here, promising peaceful nights in a unique setting.
The Sōzō Hotel not only boasts an exceptional setting but also pays attention to the small pleasures of everyday life. Every morning, a buffet breakfast awaits you with local and organic products, ranging from pastries to pressed juices, including the famous Beillevaire cheeses. If you wish to extend these moments of delight, room service is available 24/7 to cater to your desires.
The wellness area adds an extra dimension to your stay. Between the sauna, hammam, and sensory shower, each element invites relaxation in a setting that is both sleek and contemporary. You can also privatize this space for an even more intimate experience and enjoy personalized treatments upon reservation. After a day of sightseeing or work, this space offers an ideal break for rejuvenation.
The hotel also offers practical services such as parking, a responsive and multilingual concierge, as well as two meeting rooms suitable for seminars or private events. Whether it's to book a restaurant, organize a cultural outing, or simply meet your specific needs, the team is at your disposal with discretion and efficiency.
Beyond its high-end services, the Sōzō Hotel charms with its ability to tell a story, that of a chapel transformed into a space where art, design, and well-being come together. There is no restaurant on site, but the bar set in the former choir allows you to enjoy a drink in a cozy and original atmosphere. For meals, the reception will gladly recommend local addresses.
From the hotel, discoveries are numerous and varied. Start with a stroll in the Jardin des Plantes, a true haven of peace just steps away.
