The Top 23 Hotels Near LABE
-
-
A 21-room boutique hotel tucked into a quiet courtyard right next to Tours' covered gourmet market, Les Halles, which is a useful combination. The rooms mix antique touches with genuinely modern comforts, and a wellness area adds an indoor pool, sauna, and steam room to the deal. The salon pours wines and cocktails and opens onto the courtyard, so you can sit outside feeling pleasantly secluded while the city carries on about ten steps away.
-
A former monastery carved into the limestone cliffs above the Loire, now a hotel where guests sleep in the monks' old cells, built directly into the rock face. Low-lit cave passages connect the rooms, which run from Scandinavian-spare to scarlet carpets and bold botanicals. Natural light is scarce, but the stone-lined bathrooms and river views more than fill the gap. Landscaped gardens lead down to a pool on the riverfront.
-
A real castle owned by an actual prince, which feels like the setup to a joke until you're sleeping in a Marie-Antoinette-style bed beneath beamed ceilings. This château hotel outside Tours has 22 rooms and four apartments dressed with antique furnishings and stone walls. The 70-hectare grounds hold a pool, a tennis court, and, inexplicably, a conservatory of 785 tomato varieties that feeds the outdoor summer kitchen.
-
A sixteenth-century château on a 24-hectare estate in the Loire, with vineyards, manicured French gardens, and woodland on all sides. The 17 rooms lean into the history without apology: Toile de Jouy wallpaper, four-poster beds, antique furnishings. Ground-floor rooms in the Clock Pavilion come with a private garden. The restaurant runs breakfast through dinner on seasonal, local cooking, and a heated outdoor pool is there for when the aristocratic fantasy fully takes hold.
-
Staff in period costume serve a candlelit, four-course dinner by 17th-century protocol, which sets the tone for this Loire château hotel before you've even seen your room. Suites named after figures from Louis XIV's court come with velvet, gilded mirrors, Carrara marble clawfoot tubs, and enough heavy drapery to suggest you've moved in permanently. The grounds run to rose gardens, orchards, and trees old enough to have been saplings under the Sun King himself.
-
A boutique hotel tucked into an old building in Amboise that spent a century as a boarding school before anyone thought to add a Jacuzzi. The 31 rooms run from straightforward contemporaries to duplexes with private terraces, and the all-day bar handles both morning coffee and evening drinks. No restaurant, but a small grocery stocked with local products covers picnic supplies for the Loire riverbank, which is close enough to feel like yours.
-
A ten-room hotel spa in a timbered house on Rue Rabelais that has, over the years, been a bank, a school, and a solicitor's office, which makes it considerably more interesting than most places you'd sleep. Some rooms open onto private terraces with views over Amboise's rooftops and the castle looming above it all. Bathrooms have both a deep tub and a hydromassage shower, and a small spa and pool are on hand for those long Loire Valley afternoons.
-
A coaching inn from the 18th century, now a quietly charming boutique hotel spread across several old village houses in Chenonceaux, a few minutes' walk from the Loire's most photographed chateau. Rooms mix antique furniture with modern comfort, there's a heated pool and a small wellness area, and the kitchen draws from an on-site kitchen garden. The kind of place where a glass of wine before dinner feels like a reasonable life philosophy.
-
An ivy-covered hunting lodge in the Loire Valley countryside, about two hours from Paris, with 180 acres of parkland where swans drift across a pond as if they've read the brochure. It holds a Michelin Key. Château rooms lean toward elegant restraint with antiques and proper bathrooms; carriage house rooms trade a little charm for more space. Hot air balloon rides over the valley can be arranged, for those who feel the swans aren't doing enough.
-
-
A converted Loire Valley farm where the restaurant arrives as a dome, which is a bold architectural choice and one that more or less works. This boutique hotel pairs old stone outbuildings with two contemporary lodges whose rooms reinterpret local style through a modern lens. Chef Guillaume Foucault runs the kitchen, and the food tends to overshadow even the building people come to photograph.
-
Racing fans have stopped here on the pilgrimage to Le Mans for generations, which gives this small-town hotel on the main square of La Chartre-sur-le-Loir a pleasantly fanatical edge. The 25 rooms across three buildings run from snug classics to junior suites with four-poster beds and crystal chandeliers. The restaurant leans into regional Sarthe cooking paired with Jasnières wines from up the valley. The Michelin Guide has it selected.
-
-
A small Loire Valley hotel sitting within easy reach of six chateaux, including Chambord, which tends to make the neighbors look modest. The 30 rooms split between a contemporary building and an old stone property from the 1700s, and both look out over thick forest. The bistro does classic French cooking on a terrace with the same view, and on cold nights the lounge bar has a fire going, which the Loire Valley has plenty of cold nights to justify.
-
-
A 17th-century former hospice on the Loire riverbank, now a 33-room boutique hotel with suites done in a modern-classic style that takes its attention to detail a little personally. Chef Christophe Hay runs the whole operation, including the starred restaurant and the more relaxed Amour Blanc downstairs. The bar, drawing from Hay's own kitchen garden, is a good place to start before deciding how serious an evening you want. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
Sleeping inside a 12th-century royal abbey is the premise here, and the hotel commits to it fully. Rooms sit in the old Saint-Lazare priory, a nun's quarters converted into calm, atmospheric lodging a short walk from the main complex, so guests get the run of the grounds after the tour groups have gone home. Eleanor of Aquitaine is buried nearby, which is either thrilling or unnerving depending on your constitution. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
-
An 18th-century neoclassical château in the Loire Valley, less than an hour from Paris by train, now operating as a 19-room luxury boutique hotel. The French heritage authorities kept such a close eye on its restoration that the neoclassical bones are intact, while the interiors pair Jean-Baptiste Pillement's original painted work with contemporary flourishes. Versailles-inspired gardens, a modern spa, and a fine-dining restaurant round it out. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.
-
A manor house on 42 hectares of forest, meadows, and ponds in the Loire Valley, the kind of estate where you half-expect to find someone in a hunting jacket. Repère Sauvage is a sixteen-room country house hotel inside a 19th-century hunting lodge, and the team has pulled off something tricky: rural hospitality that feels warm rather than themed. The restaurant leans on local produce, and the Michelin Guide has taken note.
-
A four-room hotel tucked into a Loire Valley village, Ezia is really a place to sleep off dinner rather than a destination in its own right. The rooms are contemporary and quiet, looking onto a courtyard or the local church, and the team can point you toward wine tastings or a nearby zoo if you need reasons to leave. The restaurant next door holds a Michelin star, which explains most of why anyone books a room here in the first place.
-
A 19th-century château turned boutique hotel on a 180-hectare estate in the Loire Valley, where 19 individually designed rooms split between the castle itself and a traditional Solognote farmhouse. The bar runs from morning coffee to evening cocktails, and on Monday and Tuesday nights guests eat together around a communal table. Bikes, forest laser games, and astronomy nights are all folded into the room rate, which sets the tone nicely.
-
The château across the lawn is Chambord, the one Disney used as inspiration for Beauty and the Beast, then had to dial back because it was too much even for a cartoon. The Relais is a small luxury hotel set directly on the estate, once the royal kennels, now done in crisp, minimal style with photographic murals of the castle's stonework. Several rooms look straight at the real thing, as does the restaurant terrace.
