33 rue des Granges, 25000 Besançon
In Besançon, the Hôtel de Paris offers a comfortable retreat in a setting where history meets a decidedly modern spirit. Located in an 18th-century former coaching inn, this establishment caters to those who appreciate places full of character without compromising on contemporary comfort standards. From its spacious inner courtyard to its open and soothing common areas, everything here seems designed to make your stay synonymous with relaxation.
The hotel boasts a central location, perfectly integrated into the city's urban life. Without venturing far, it is easy to walk to shopping streets, museums, or the iconic sites of the Besançon loop. Upon arrival, guests enter the hotel through an elegant hallway, dotted with armchairs, which gently leads to the reception. A calm, discreet, almost confidential atmosphere is apparent from the very first moments.
The Hôtel de Paris has fifty rooms divided into several categories, ranging from single rooms to Signature categories. Some open directly onto the inner courtyard, while others offer clear views over the city rooftops. The charm of the place lies as much in the authenticity of the building as in the way each space has been renovated. Soft tones, thoughtful lighting, and contemporary furniture create a pleasant harmony conducive to rest.
The rooms are regularly maintained and updated to ensure a consistent level of comfort. They feature a simple and functional layout: quality bedding, adjustable air conditioning, double glazing, flat-screen TV, desk, and ample storage. Bathrooms vary depending on the room, with some equipped with walk-in showers and others with bathtubs, all with evident care given to cleanliness and details.
Some ground-floor rooms allow direct access without the need to use the elevator, which can be convenient for short stays or late arrivals. Others, located on upper floors, offer a different perspective of the city, with its old rooftops and tightly-knit ridgelines.
In the morning, the breakfast room provides a bright setting, enhanced by large listed stained-glass windows. The buffet includes both sweet and savory options, highlighting local specialties from the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. In good weather, the shaded terrace, adorned with old trees, becomes a privileged spot to extend this moment.
The hotel offers free Wi-Fi throughout the property. Guests can work from their room, the inner courtyard, or even the terrace in a peaceful environment. Newspapers are also provided daily, and a water dispenser is available for self-service in the common areas.
The Hôtel de Paris team is available at all times, thanks to a 24-hour reception. They are happy to share tips on places to visit or addresses to discover in the neighborhood. The ambiance remains simple and attentive, with a service that is present without being intrusive.
For those traveling by car, a secure private parking area is available upon reservation. It also includes two electric charging stations. Cyclists are not forgotten, with a dedicated bike parking area. Finally, for business travelers, two meeting rooms can host small events in a quiet setting, suitable for work or discreet exchanges.
This location welcomes a diverse clientele, including business travelers, tourists, or those in transit between stops. The hotel adapts to this diversity with a flexible offering and an excellent quality/location balance for a stay in the heart of Besançon.
From the Hôtel de Paris, many cultural discoveries are within walking distance. The Citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a fifteen-minute walk away. Visitors can explore the museum, gardens, or simply enjoy the view of the Doubs meanders.
The Musée du Temps, housed in the Granvelle Palace, is just a few steps from the hotel. It features a remarkable collection of timepieces, echoing the city's watchmaking tradition. Nearby, the Museum of Fine Arts and Archeology displays works ranging from antiquity to modern art, in a recently redesigned building.
Strolling through the old town also allows visitors to admire Renaissance façades, vaulted passages, and hidden squares. Rue Bersot or Place Granvelle often reveal pleasant surprises during a leisurely walk.
Throughout the year, Besançon hosts cultural events worth discovering. The Montfaucon classical music festival, international cinema meetings, and performances at the Théâtre Ledoux are all great opportunities to extend a stay in the city.
