Hotels in Chambray-lès-Tours, Tours

Chambray-lès-Tours is roughly 5 to 7 kilometres south of the Tours city centre. By tram (line A), the journey to the central stops such as Jean Jaurès or Vieux-Tours takes approximately 20 to 25 minutes. By car, the drive can be shorter but varies with traffic. It is not a walkable distance to the historic centre, so having a car or using public transport is recommended.

The area is served almost entirely by chain hotels. Budget travellers can consider the Première Classe Tours Sud at 37 €/night or the Mister Bed at 40 €/night. For a step up in comfort, the Brit Hotel Essentiel and Kyriad Direct both sit around 60 to 63 €/night and hold solid guest ratings. The Sure Hotel by Best Western Tours Sud is the priciest option at 84 €/night and carries a strong 4.4 out of 5 rating. All properties offer private parking, which is a genuine advantage over central Tours hotels.

It can work as a base, particularly if you are travelling by car. The A10 motorway is easily accessible from Chambray-lès-Tours, giving you a quick route toward Amboise, Blois, or Chenonceau. However, if you plan to use guided tours or trains departing from Tours Saint-Pierre-des-Corps station, you will need to factor in the extra travel time from the suburb. Staying centrally in Tours is more convenient for château day trips without a car.

Chambray-lès-Tours is a calm, suburban commune with no particular safety concerns. The areas around the chain hotels are commercial and fairly quiet in the evenings, as they are surrounded by business parks and retail zones rather than nightlife. This makes it a restful place to sleep but means there is very little to do on foot after dark. Guests looking for restaurants or evening atmosphere will generally need to travel into Tours proper or rely on hotel dining.
