Historic Hotels in Troyes' Timber-Framed Old Town

A fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, a microwave and a stovetop in every unit makes Le Boudoir easy for families in Troyes, where meals can be prepared at your own pace. The aparthotel sits in a recently renovated historic building, units are soundproofed with parquet floors, and some look onto the garden. Housekeeping is daily and check-in is private. Troyes station and the town hall are less than 1 km away. I would suggest it to families who prefer an apartment.

I would choose La Flûte enchantée for a family that wants a kitchen in the centre of Troyes. This four-star aparthotel occupies a historic building, and its air-conditioned units have kitchen facilities and private bathrooms, with views over the inner courtyard. The train station and the Town Hall are less than 1 km away, so arrivals by rail and walks into the old town are easy. Daily housekeeping and free WiFi complete the practical side.

I would choose Le Champ des Oiseaux for a family that wants to stay in the historic heart of Troyes and walk to the main sights. Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Cathedral and the Modern Art Museum are a short walk away. Rooms are en suite with a TV and free WiFi, and a planted courtyard and garden offer a quiet place to sit. Light dishes can be eaten in the garden or in the room, and parents can take turns at the spa.

I would choose La Maison de Rhodes for a family that wants a pool in the historic centre of Troyes. The heated outdoor swimming pool and the garden give children a break between walks through the old streets. Rooms are decorated in the regional Champagne style, and room service and laundry facilities help on a longer stay. The restaurant serves local organic cuisine, and there is a bar for parents in the evening.

For families visiting Troyes, Mercure Troyes Centre is a comfortable base about 500 metres from the historic heart, so the half-timbered streets of the old town, famously shaped like a Champagne cork on the map, are a short walk away. Rooms are air-conditioned, which helps on summer nights, and the two terraces give parents a quiet drink once the children are asleep. The breakfast buffet starts the day well. A score of 8.9 from nearly 1,700 reviews is excellent.

Best Western Premier de La Poste & Spa occupies a former posting office in the pedestrian zone of historic Troyes, so families step straight out into car-free streets. Rooms are individually decorated, with air conditioning, a minibar and free WiFi. The Nuxe Spa, with a sauna, hammam and sensory shower, is included free of charge, a real treat for parents after a day of sightseeing. Guests rate this four-star 8.6 out of 10 across more than 1,700 reviews.

Located in La Chapelle-Saint-Luc, just outside Troyes, Hotel Bhoma suits families arriving by car, and I find the free parking and 24-hour front desk the most practical points. Rooms have private bathrooms, satellite TV and a hairdryer, and Wi-Fi is free. A daily buffet breakfast starts the day, and vending machines cover drinks and snacks in the evening. Check-in works with an automatic room allocator, handy for late arrivals. Pets are welcome.

I would choose Contact Hôtel Hôtel de Troyes for a stay by car, a short drive from the historic centre of Troyes. Secure on-site parking with video surveillance and electric vehicle charging are the practical strengths. Non-smoking rooms have free Wi-Fi, satellite TV with sports and news channels, and a private shower. A daily buffet breakfast is available, and the lounge bar is a calm place for the evening. Pets are welcome.

I would choose the Relais Saint Jean for a couple's stay in the historic centre of Troyes. This four-star hotel has individually decorated, air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi. The standout is the fitness centre with a hot tub in a 16th-century cellar. There is also a private bar and a library. Pets are welcome, and secure parking helps if you arrive by car.

I would recommend this Logis to families who want to walk into the old town of Troyes without paying for a grand address. The en-suite rooms are simple, with TNT channels and free WiFi, a continental breakfast is served daily and parking is available. Pets are welcome, which helps if you travel with a dog. It is a short walk from the historic centre and close to the convention centre, so evenings out are easy.

For a family stopping in Troyes, I see this B&B HOTEL as a simple, practical base. The historic centre with its half-timbered houses is about 500 metres away, so a walk into town is easy even with younger children, and restaurants are within a short stroll. The daily buffet breakfast helps before a day of sightseeing, the 24-hour reception handles late arrivals, and pets are accepted. Rooms are contemporary and straightforward.

Set in a 16th-century building in the historic centre of Troyes, this hotel lets families explore the old town on foot straight from the door. Family rooms keep everyone together, a buffet breakfast starts the day, and free WiFi is available throughout. Private parking can be arranged on request, which helps in a centre with narrow streets, and pets are welcome. Guests rate it 7.8 out of 10 across more than 2,100 reviews.
