Hotels in Chambray-lès-Tours, Tours
Updated 9 September 2026 · 5 real hotels
Chambray-lès-Tours is a southern suburb of Tours suited to drivers, budget travellers, and business visitors who need easy motorway access without city-centre prices. It offers reliable chain hotels at affordable rates but lacks the historic charm and walkability of central Tours. Guests who rely on public transport or want to explore the old town on foot may find the location inconvenient.
Your stay in Chambray-lès-Tours, in one conversation
Charlize builds hotels, activities and dining around your wishes, dates and budget.
Chambray-lès-Tours sits roughly 5 kilometres south of Tours city centre, separated from the historic core by the Loire and Cher rivers. It is a commercial and residential suburb, home to a large retail zone, business parks, and the Tours Sud motorway interchange on the A10. The atmosphere is functional rather than scenic: you will find big-box shops, fast-food chains, and industrial estates alongside quiet residential streets. What the area lacks in character it compensates for in practicality, with free or low-cost parking at almost every hotel and straightforward access to the A10 motorway linking Paris and Bordeaux.
Staying in Chambray-lès-Tours makes most sense if you are travelling by car, planning day trips to the Loire Valley châteaux (Chenonceau is about 15 km east), or attending events at a nearby business park. A tram line connects the suburb to Tours city centre in roughly 15 to 20 minutes, which is useful for an evening meal or a visit to the cathedral quarter, but you will depend on that connection for anything cultural. Hotels here are uniformly chain-operated, focused on value, and priced noticeably below equivalent categories in the city centre, making them a reasonable base for cost-conscious travellers who treat the room as a place to sleep rather than an experience in itself.

Frequently asked questions
What hotels are available in Chambray-lès-Tours and how much do they cost?+
The area has six hotels covering a range of budget categories. At the most affordable end, Mister Bed Chambray lès Tours is available from 35 €/night (rated 4/5) and Première Classe Tours Sud - Chambray-lès-Tours 1★ from 36 €/night (rated 3.6/5). Mid-range options include Brit Hotel Essentiel Tours Sud 2★ at 56 €/night (4.1/5), KYRIAD DIRECT Tours Sud 2★ at 57 €/night (4.6/5), Campanile Chambray Les Tours 3★ at 61 €/night (4.2/5), and Hotel Kyriad Tours Sud 3★ at 63 €/night (4.2/5). All properties include parking, which is a meaningful saving compared to central Tours.
How do you get from Chambray-lès-Tours to Tours city centre?+
The most convenient option is the Tours tram network (Tram A), which has stops serving the Chambray-lès-Tours area and reaches the city centre in approximately 15 to 20 minutes. By car the drive is around 10 minutes outside peak hours, though traffic on the southern ring road can be slow during morning and evening rush periods. Cycling is possible along dedicated paths but the distance and road environment make it more suitable for confident cyclists.
Is Chambray-lès-Tours a good base for visiting Loire Valley châteaux?+
It is a practical base if you are travelling by car. The Château de Chenonceau is roughly 15 kilometres to the east, Amboise about 25 kilometres, and Azay-le-Rideau around 30 kilometres to the southwest. The motorway and main road network are easily accessible from the suburb. If you do not have a car, connections to the châteaux are more complicated, as most require a train from Tours Saint-Pierre-des-Corps station combined with a shuttle or taxi, meaning the suburb's location offers no particular advantage over staying in the city centre.
Who is Chambray-lès-Tours best suited to?+
The area suits drivers above all, including road-trip travellers using the A10 corridor, families wanting free parking without navigating central Tours traffic, and business travellers attending meetings in the southern business parks. Budget travellers who are flexible about location will also find the price-to-quality ratio appealing, particularly at properties like KYRIAD DIRECT Tours Sud (4.6/5 at 57 €/night). The area is less suitable for visitors who want to walk to restaurants, museums, or the old town, or for travellers without a car who rely entirely on public transport.
