Presentation

Just a few minutes from the center of Besançon, the AKENA hotel offers a comfortable and contemporary alternative for those looking for accessible, well-equipped, and easy-to-live accommodation. The location is suitable for both short stays and business trips, with a particularly convenient location for travelers in transit or visitors to the TEMIS technology park.

The immediate surroundings, at the edge of exit 3 of the A36, ensure easy access whether you arrive by car or from the Franois train station. Without being isolated, the hotel is away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, making it a practical base to rest or plan your schedule at your own pace.

Behind a contemporary facade, the new building offers 61 rooms spread over several floors. The space is designed with simplicity but care, in a functional spirit that prioritizes comfort and flow. Some rooms have been adapted to accommodate people with reduced mobility without compromising on equipment.

Inside, the atmosphere is intended to be peaceful and discreet. Each room is air-conditioned, equipped with a flat-screen TV, a desk, and a smooth Wi-Fi connection. The bathrooms, fitted with modern showers, are designed to meet daily needs efficiently. Bed linens and towels are provided, and cleaning is done daily.

The high-quality bedding promotes restorative sleep, even for short stays. The general soundproofing also helps to maintain a serene atmosphere conducive to relaxation or concentration depending on your expectations.

The reception hall, open 24/7, reflects the spirit of the establishment: simple, present, and attentive service. The staff is available at any time to meet your requests or facilitate your stay.

The hotel also offers some shared spaces that are useful daily. A fitness room allows you to maintain physical activity, while the co-working space or meeting rooms cater to the needs of business travelers.

Breakfast is served as a buffet in the dining room, with extended hours on weekends. It is a convenient option to start the day without restrictions, offering a selection of simple products suitable for all appetites.

The restaurant complements the on-site offerings by providing accessible cuisine, ideal for avoiding going out again after a long day. A snack bar or delicatessen is also available, offering products to take away at any time.

For your moments of relaxation, an outdoor terrace is available, as well as a bar where you can extend the evening with a drink in a tranquil atmosphere. These spaces provide a pleasant breath of fresh air after a day of work or exploration.

If you wish to take advantage of your stay to explore Besançon, the city center is easily reachable by car. The Citadel, a masterpiece by Vauban listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers a remarkable panorama and houses several museums, including the Comtois Museum and the Natural History Museum.

The Museum of Time, located in the Granvelle Palace, is also worth a visit. It traces the horological history of the region while offering a rich collection of exceptional pieces. It is an original and educational place for both science and heritage enthusiasts.

In a completely different vein, the Museum of Fine Arts and Archaeology presents an extensive collection, mixing ancient and modern works, in a recently redesigned building. The space is clear, the artworks are well displayed, and the entrance remains accessible.

For a more leisurely stroll, the Doubs loop allows you to appreciate the city differently, between hills, landscaped banks, and urban heritage. Several viewpoints of the old town complete this gentle discovery, blending nature and architecture.

Finally, if you are passing through for an event, the Micropolis Convention Center regularly hosts fairs, concerts, and professional events. From the AKENA hotel, you can easily access it in less than fifteen minutes.
