Overview
Set in an abbey dating back to the 11th century, Grand Hôtel de l'Abbaye is located in Beaugency, 24.5 km from the Chateau de Chambord. It is close to many châteaux in the Loire Valley and is classified as a Historic Monument. All rooms offer a view of the river and free WiFi is provided throughout. A flat-screen TV and Wi-Fi access are included in the elegantly decorated guest rooms. A buffet breakfast is prepared with fresh and organic produce every morning. You can also enjoy one of the Trappist beers from the bar or relax on the terrace overlooking the river. Products made by local abbeys and monasteries are available to purchase from reception and a wood-fired rotisserie is available on site on the weekends. The property offers a 19th-century broiler, where guests can watch their dinner being cooked upon request. Dinner can also be served on the terrace with views of the Loire River. Free private parking is available on site. The veranda facing the Loire and all the bathrooms in the rooms were renovated in 2024

“If you like historic places, good food and nice people - go for it!”
Very cool and nice location in an old abbey, but yet very comfortable. Nice touches, like the monks singing, lots of old furniture, but nice and clean (modern) baths, bed was super-comfy, very cool restaurant with open fire, food was delicious, service super-friendly!

“Friendly welcome in a fascinating property and a great base for exploring the Loire”
This is a very worthwhile project to support, as the management team seeks to conserve a magnificent historic building and breathe new life into it. They have clearly taken a very engaging, passionate and idiosyncratic approach to that task. The commitment to linking with other abbeys across France for supplies of wine, preserves etc gives the place a very clear theme, identity and narrative. We were struck by the friendliness and enthusiasm of all the staff we met. Both breakfast and the 'rotisserie' dinner were excellent in terms of quality and quantity. Communication before, during and after our stay was plentiful (perhaps even a little overwhelming at times...). Our room had a great view of the Loire, and was beautifully quirky, adding to an overall 'boutique' feel of the hotel. The town of Beaugency is a real gem, and the hotel's location between the river, abbey church and chateau is unbeatable. Our only regret was that the weather didn't allow us to use the hotel's garden and terrace. We will certainly use visit hotel again, and would recommend it to others.

“Very interesting building in a superb location.”
The staff were very friendly. The lounges were beautifully furnished. Breakfast was very nice with freshly squeezed orange juice and I loved the lime marmalade. The view over the Loire both from the breakfast room and my room was beautiful. Parking was easy.
