Spa Hotels in Troyes, Champagne's Old Capital

I would choose La Maison V.H. for a family that wants apartment-style space in Troyes. The recently renovated accommodation has a lush garden and a sun terrace, which give children room outdoors. Bicycles are free to use, a good way to explore the old town together, and an on-site minimarket helps with snacks. The continental breakfast includes vegetarian and gluten-free options, and an EV charging station suits families arriving by electric car.

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.

La Licorne Hotel & Spa is the five-star I would suggest in Troyes to families who want comfort and an indoor pool. The indoor swimming pool works whatever the weather, which helps with children between visits to the half-timbered old town. Rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, so everyone sleeps well, and daily housekeeping keeps things easy. Parents can use the sauna and fitness centre, or relax on the terrace and at the bar.

OKKO Hotels Troyes Centre is just steps from Troyes train station, and its modern family rooms are soundproofed and air-conditioned, with city views. That makes it an easy base for walking into the old town and its half-timbered houses with children. There is a fitness centre, a bar and a restaurant serving French cuisine, WiFi is free and pets are accepted, so the family dog can come too.

Family rooms, a garden and a terrace give the ibis Styles Troyes Centre more breathing space than many city-centre chain hotels, and I see that as its main appeal for parents. Rooms are air-conditioned with free Wi-Fi, a buffet breakfast starts the day, and the bar is on site for the evening. Pets are welcome. The hotel suits a stay near the Aube Congress Centre, and the Forêt d'Orient Natural Regional Park makes a good outing with children.

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.

Private parking with electric car charging, available on reservation, is the practical detail I would flag for families driving to the Kyriad Troyes Centre. Rooms are air-conditioned with a welcome tray and free Wi-Fi, and the snack bar covers a quick bite after a day out. The 24-hour front desk handles late arrivals with tired children. The location is well placed for walking to the city centre of Troyes and its sights, and pets are accepted.

Villa Hotel is in Saint-André-les-Vergers, 3 km from central Troyes, a quieter setting for families who arrive by car and want free private parking. Rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi, and breakfast is served each day overlooking a flower-filled garden, a calm start before heading into the old town. A gastronomic restaurant stands next door, so dinner does not mean driving back into the city.

Brit Hotel Privilège Le Royal stands just 100 metres from Troyes station, which I find ideal for a family arriving by train: almost no walking with luggage, and the historic centre within easy reach on foot. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, and the restaurant serving regional cuisine lets everyone taste Champagne specialities without searching for a table. There is a bar for parents, free WiFi throughout, and pets are accepted.

Modern rooms near Troyes-Barberey Airport set the tone at the Campanile PRIME Troyes Nord Barberey, a three-star built for business, family and shopping trips. For families, I would highlight the buffet breakfast with homemade products, a good start before a day at the factory outlets or a drive into the old town. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, which helps on warm summer nights, and pets are accepted, so the family dog can come along too.

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.

Family rooms with air conditioning, a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi are the base at the Campanile Troyes Sud - Buchères, and I would add the on-site restaurant as a real help for families: traditional French cuisine without leaving the hotel after a long drive. The sun terrace and garden give children space outdoors, while the bar and lounge suit parents in the evening. Pets are welcome, which makes it an easy stop for a family travelling with a dog.

I would consider Hotel Saint Georges for a family or a longer stay in Troyes, because it is an aparthotel with fully equipped kitchens. The units are spacious, with flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms, and some have a seating area or a balcony. There is a garden, and breakfast is served daily. Espace Argence is within easy reach. Reception facilities are available on request.
