Your stay in Chartres, in one conversation
Charlize builds hotels, activities and dining around your wishes, dates and budget.
Chartres is best known for its UNESCO-listed Gothic cathedral, but the city also rewards travellers who care about where they sleep. The hotel scene here is modest in size yet genuinely varied: you will find restored private residences turned into curated suites, a landmark nineteenth-century coaching inn that has kept its architectural character while adding contemporary comfort, and a handful of well-run chain properties that punch above their category. Because the city centre is compact, location is straightforward: staying near the Eure riverbanks or the Place des Epars puts the cathedral, the medieval lower town, and the main restaurants within a short walk.
When choosing an address in Chartres on the basis of setting and finish, it is worth distinguishing between the intimate, owner-operated properties, where attention to detail tends to be highest, and the larger branded hotels, which trade individual character for consistency and on-site facilities such as spas or extended parking. The properties listed below cover both ends of that spectrum, with nightly rates running from around 78 euros at a reliable roadside three-star on the edge of Le Coudray to 181 euros for a private maison in the heart of the old town.

Frequently asked questions
Which Chartres hotels offer the most personal and carefully finished atmosphere?+
Maleyssie Les Suites and Maison Ailleurs are the two owner-operated addresses most often cited for their attentive presentation and individual character. Both are located within Chartres itself, close to the historic centre, and each holds a 4.6 or above guest rating. Couette et Cafe creme, just 2.1 km away in Le Coudray, is a guesthouse format that shares the same 4.9 guest rating as Maleyssie Les Suites and suits travellers who prefer a quieter, more residential setting.
Is there a full-service hotel in Chartres that combines heritage architecture with modern comfort?+
Hotel and Spa Le Grand Monarque, a four-star property in the Best Western Premier Collection, occupies a historic building in the city centre and is the address most associated with that combination in Chartres. It includes a spa and restaurant, and its guest rating stands at 4.6 out of 5. The Mercure Chartres Centre Cathedrale, also four stars and centrally located, is a more straightforwardly contemporary option at a slightly lower nightly rate.
What are the more budget-conscious options without leaving the city or its immediate surroundings?+
Residhome Chartres, a three-star aparthotel in the city itself, offers a 4.7 guest rating at around 86 euros per night and suits longer stays thanks to its apartment-style rooms. B&B Hotel Chartres Oceane, a two-star property inside Chartres, comes in at roughly 80 euros per night with a 4.5 rating. For travellers with a car, ACE Hotel Chartres in Le Coudray, 2.4 km from the centre, is the most affordable option on this list at approximately 78 euros per night.

All hotels listed as being in Chartres proper, including Maleyssie Les Suites, Maison Ailleurs, Hotel Le Grand Monarque, Mercure Chartres Centre Cathedrale, Residhome Chartres, and B&B Hotel Chartres Oceane, are within the city limits and most are within comfortable walking distance of the cathedral.
