Spa Hotels in Quimper, Brittany

Mercure Quimper Kerlic has an indoor swimming pool, which I value in Brittany because it works whatever the weather does. Family rooms come with garden or city views, air conditioning and private bathrooms. Parents get a spa with a sauna and a fitness centre, there is a sun terrace, and the modern restaurant serves French and local cuisine with dietary options. Breakfast includes local specialities. Guests rate it 9.2, though from only 15 reviews.

Domitys Les Gavottes in Quimper is an aparthotel, and that format suits families well: units have kitchenettes, balconies and private bathrooms, so meals and nap times can follow your own rhythm. The indoor swimming pool is useful on rainy Breton days, and there is also a sauna, a sun terrace and a garden. When nobody wants to cook, the traditional French restaurant and coffee shop are on site. Free private parking makes trips along the Finistère coast easy.

Best Western Plus Hotel Kregenn is a four-star base for exploring Quimper, the Breton town known for its cathedral and its faience. Rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi, and the sun terrace and garden give children room to breathe after a day of sightseeing. There is a fitness centre, a bar and a coffee shop, an electric vehicle charging station for families on a road trip, and pets are welcome.

Hôtel Ginkgo occupies a listed character building in the Locmaria district of Quimper, the cradle of Quimper earthenware, close to the Henriot factory and the earthenware museum, two visits that show children how the famous painted faience is made. Rooms and suites are spacious and contemporary, some with views of the Odet river, and the city centre is a pleasant walk away along a flowered path.

I would choose Hotel de la Gare for a Quimper stay by train, since it stands directly opposite the station. Rooms face a quiet street and each has free Wi-Fi and a private bathroom. A continental breakfast is served daily, and there is a bar and a floral patio to sit out. The city centre is a ten-minute walk, and Bénodet beach is a short drive away.

I would book the Oceania Quimper for a summer family trip in Finistère, when its outdoor heated pool is open. Some air-conditioned rooms look onto the pool, worth requesting with children. The restaurant serves traditional French cuisine, which saves a drive at the end of the day, and free private parking makes coming and going easy. The beaches are about 15 km away, and pets are accepted for families travelling with a dog.

Manoir des Indes in Quimper offers family rooms with garden views, parquet floors, a minibar and free WiFi, which gives everyone space after a day exploring Finistère. The indoor swimming pool is a reliable plan when the Breton weather turns, and parents can use the spa, wellness centre and sauna. Picnic spots and outdoor seating in the grounds suit children, and free on-site parking helps families travelling by car.
