Welcome to the Hotel de la Cité*** !

A place filled with history

Pictogramme d'une vague.

In 1938, the wholesale market, nicknamed «Nantes Belly» moved to the Palais du Champ de Mars in front of the Lefèvre-Utile factory where the LU biscuits were made. In order to develop their business, wholesalers set up warehouses in the neighbourhood. The Bouyer-Guindon families built, on the site of an old tannery, a storage warehouse for fruits and vegetables, as well as banana ripening plant. The Hôtel de la Cité was constructed here in 2023.

Our 97 rooms, designed by BGC, a Nantes-based architecture and design firm, invite relaxation in an elegant and contemporary atmosphere. To ensure the well-being of our guests, each room is equipped with an air purifier manufactured just 3 kilometers away by the Nantes-based company JVD.
