The Best Hotels in Vannes

A modern corner hotel and spa a short walk from the medieval ramparts of Vannes' old town, Le Maury fills four floors with pale hardwood, warm lighting, and a palette of white, beige, and deep turquoise. Marble bathrooms come with rainfall showers and Garnier Thiebaut linens. The top-floor suite has steeply pitched ceilings and a Jacuzzi for two, though even the standard rooms look out over a pretty square below.

A 16th-century château on the wooded edge of Vannes, reimagined as a hotel where the original stonework and slate rooftops now share the grounds with bold black-and-gold structures. The 71 rooms lean into the setting, with stone, wood, and garden views doing most of the decorating. A spa, a gourmet restaurant, and walking trails through orchards and herb gardens round things out for anyone who came to Brittany specifically to slow down.
