Best Hotels in Tours

Consider Tours the elegant and accessible gateway to the Loire Valley. The city itself is a delight, centered around the half-timbered houses and lively café terraces of Place Plumereau in the historic Vieux Tours. Visitors come here to use it as a perfect base for exploring the legendary châteaux like Chenonceau and Chambord, but the city rewards those who linger with its own grand cathedral, excellent museums, and a reputation as the best place in France to hear pure, traditional French spoken.

For location, staying near the central train station, Tours Centre, offers superb convenience for day trips and arrivals by rail from Paris in just over an hour. The streets radiating from Place Plumereau are ideal for couples and solo travelers who want to be immersed in the historic atmosphere, while the city’s efficient tram system makes it easy for families to navigate. It’s a city that works equally well for a weekend cultural break or a longer, relaxed holiday exploring the region.

On HOTEVI, you’ll find around 80 places to stay in and around Tours. The selection is dominated by practical, good-value chain hotels near the station and a charming array of independent boutique hotels in the old town, with a few upscale options for those seeking a more refined stay. There’s a solid choice for every style of traveler looking to discover this part of France.
