Citadines Confluent Nantes ★★★★

A unique, dazzling white tower interrupts the skyline as you land with your bags at the Citadines Confluent Nantes. A welcoming ambience hugs you, as the velvet seating in the illuminated lobby and unusual décor give the hotel a contemporary touch. In your apartment, enjoy a flat-screen TV, clean and cosy kitchen, complete with a microwave, fridge and hob. Soft pencil-like murals decorate the backdrop to the ample sized bedroom. Your bathroom is a sparkling, tiled space, equipped with complimentary toiletries to enjoy a hot soak.

A substantial continental buffet is available for breakfast, set in a comfortable room of rustic and neutral tones. This should be enough to give you the energy you need to explore the historical richness of the city. The tram stops just around the corner from the hotel, so trips to the city centre are very easy. Three kilometres away, you can find the mechanical animals at what’s known as the “Machines of the Isle of Nantes”, inspired by Jules Verne and Leonardo da Vinci. The Arts Museum boasts a collection of fine art from the 13th century to the modern era, and the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany is a magnificent landmark, with lovely walkways surrounding the castle grounds.

If hungry, there’s a great burger restaurant and pizza place around the corner from the hotel, and also a typical French bakery to grab a delectable pastry to go. There’s also a nice little bar named Blab bla bar Reze to enjoy a cold beer or glass of wine, alongside a delicious cheese board. An evening in the city centre is easy with public transport being within easy reach, so whether you decide to venture near or far, there are plenty of options available to you to. A prime location, with restaurants, transport and the airport all close by - what more could you need to enjoy the very best of Nantes?!
