Mercure Vannes Le Port
Gulf views a short walk from the ferry terminal

About this stay
Mercure Vannes Le Port sits a short walk from the ferry terminal, two kilometres from the historic centre, with a modern, unique façade and south-facing rooms fitted with en suite bathrooms. Some of the soundproofed guest rooms look directly over the Gulf of Morbihan, a genuine draw for anyone who wants water views without a full seaside stay at Conleau. The hotel's own brasserie, La Brasserie Edgar, serves traditional French cuisine and fresh seafood on patios overlooking the port. Billiards, bowling, canoeing and walking are all available nearby, and boats to the gulf's islands leave from the landing pier close by. Two electric-vehicle charging stations sit at the hotel entrance, and a summer shuttle bus runs between the hotel and the city centre.
- Gulf-view rooms
- On-site brasserie
- Near ferry terminal
- EV charging
Our take
Mercure Vannes Le Port is the four-star I would book before a boat trip on the Gulf of Morbihan: it is a short walk from the ferry terminal, and some soundproofed rooms look straight over the gulf, so I would ask for one of those. The brasserie with patios serves traditional French cuisine and fresh seafood, and electric-car charging sits at the entrance. It scores 8.2 from 203 reviews.
- ✓Request a gulf-view room specifically, not every soundproofed room includes the same outlook over the water.
- ✓Book a table at La Brasserie Edgar ahead in summer, the seafood and patio seating draw a crowd.
- ✓Use the summer shuttle bus into the city centre rather than driving, it runs on a set schedule.
Why we love it
- Rooms with a direct Gulf of Morbihan view
- A brasserie serving fresh local seafood
- Close to the islands' ferry landing
- Electric-vehicle charging on site
Why guests love itTravellers staying here with children find the gulf-view rooms a genuine draw before breakfast, watching the ferries load for the islands from a terminal a short walk away. Dinner at the on-site brasserie came with seafood the kids actually ate, on a patio overlooking the port rather than a generic dining room. Canoeing near the port filled an afternoon once the old town's ramparts and museums had lost their novelty for the day.
