Hotels in Troyes, Champagne

If you want to step back in time, but with all the modern comforts, book here. La Maison de Rhodes is right in the heart of the old town, just by the cathedral but blessedly quiet in the evenings. You enter an enclosed courtyard surrounded by half-timbered buildings with a garden at one end. An old wooden staircase takes you up to the second-floor buildings on one side of the courtyard. The property once belonged to the Knights Templars of Malta; today it's a stunning 4-star hotel of 11 rooms. Stone-walled, with floors of warm red tiles or wood, old furniture, fireplaces and beamed rooms; take your pick as each is different. And rest assured – bathrooms are large and luxurious.

You can take breakfast in the delightful restaurant or outside in the peaceful courtyard. Dinner, using local ingredients, ecologically sourced, is served Tuesday to Saturday.

Practical Information

Three former houses of the 15^th and 16^th century make up this charming hotel, hidden away in a cobbled street and right  next to La Maison de Rhodes. They are similar in feel and style and within the same family ownership. Le Champ des Oiseaux shows a similar meticulous attention to historic detail in the decoration of the rooms where once again you wake up wondering which century you are living in. Rooms vary in size and style and some are in the eaves with timbered vaulted ceilings; bathrooms are spacious and well equipped. This 4-star hotel of 12 rooms is slightly cheaper than La Maison de Rhodes.

Practical Information

Tucked away down a small alley but right in the center of the old part (and a hop, skip and jump away from the main square), this charming hotel in the former Goldsmiths Street is family-owned and welcoming. Bedrooms are decorated in a modern style, with fresh colors, pretty fabrics and comfortable beds. Some have balconies which look down onto the action while those on the garden side are quieter. There's a dining room for breakfast and the delightful intimate San Johns bar, much frequented by British visitors to Troyes.

Four half-timbered 12th century houses, once belonging to the Counts of Champagne who minted money here, make up this welcoming, small, 2-star hotel in the old town. Rooms are mainly good sized, simply decorated in pretty fabrics and some have fireplaces. Ask for one of the bigger ones to get a bigger bathroom. You can take breakfast in a room surrounded by suits of armour and there’s a separate lounge. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and it makes a good, inexpensive alternative to the hotels above.
