Presentation

A few steps from Rennes train station, the Le Sévigné Hotel welcomes you in a peaceful atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle of the city while remaining in close proximity to its key points. Upon your arrival on Avenue Janvier, the impression of accessibility combines with that of attentive, discreet, and sincere hospitality. You are just a few minutes' walk from the historic center, the Congress Palace, metro lines, and numerous shops, restaurants, and cultural venues. Whether you are visiting for business, as a couple, or with family, the establishment allows you to plan your stay with ease.

The building houses 44 rooms divided into different categories, catering to various needs: from single to family rooms, as well as standard and premium comfort rooms. Each space is designed with simplicity in mind: neutral tones, simple materials, and clean lines create a cozy ambiance. Functional furniture and essential amenities are provided to make daily life easier without overloading the space: adjustable air conditioning, a desk area, a flat-screen TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, a courtesy tray, and, depending on the room, a shower or a bathtub.

The bedding has been carefully selected and is adapted to each room type, with widths ranging from 140 to 180 cm. Soundproofing, enhanced by triple glazing, effectively shields from the neighborhood's movements, providing travelers with the calm they need after a day of sightseeing or work. In family rooms, the spaces are more generous, and the layout facilitates cohabitation, even for four people.

A few meters away, the Little Sévigné, a hotel residence affiliated with the establishment, offers 15 rooms designed to provide greater autonomy. A kitchenette, a secure fridge, and a dining area allow guests to organize their days at their own pace while enjoying hotel comfort. This is a relevant alternative for extended stays or for those who wish to combine freedom and privacy.

An independent apartment completes the offering. It consists of a living room with an open kitchen, a spacious bedroom with a king-size bed, and a lovely bathroom. Ideal for short and medium stays, this space combines the generosity of an entire apartment with the support of a nearby hotel.

In the morning, a sweet and savory buffet awaits you in a bright room with a view of the street. Pastries, fresh fruits, dairy products, various breads, cheeses, jams, crepes, and Breton specialties share the table. For those who prefer the comfort of their room, a breakfast tray option is available. Gluten-free and lactose-free options can also be prepared upon request. Extended weekend hours allow for a leisurely start to the day.

Although the establishment does not have a restaurant, it offers meal trays available at any time, including vegetarian dishes and options adapted to special diets. Numerous quality restaurants, bars, and bakeries are also within walking distance. It is easy to find a great dining spot nearby without having to wander far.

The hotel staff is available 24/7. Fluent in French, English, or Spanish, they remain attentive to your needs, whether it’s arranging a taxi, making a reservation, or providing local recommendations. This continuous service offers real convenience, especially for late arrivals or early departures. Luggage storage, wake-up assistance, and parking space rentals (on reservation) are just some of the small touches that make the stay easier.

Pets are welcome, which can make a difference for travelers attached to their four-legged companions. Special attention is also given to accessibility: the elevator serves the upper floors, although the first two floors are only accessible by stairs, a detail to consider depending on your needs.

Staying at the Le Sévigné Hotel means choosing a simple, well-thought-out, and well-located place where every detail is designed to make the experience smooth. Far from impersonal hotels, you will find consistent attention here without ostentation. The home-like spirit, often mentioned, comes to life in the gestures, glances, and services provided.

From the hotel, you can reach Rennes’ historic center in just a few minutes on foot. The old town, with its half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and small squares, offers a pleasant setting for strolling. Don’t miss the Parliament of Brittany, one of the city’s most iconic buildings, as well as the Place des Lices, famous for its Saturday morning market.

The Thabor Park, a 15-minute walk away, is also worth a visit. Featuring French-style gardens, a rose garden, and aviaries, it provides a refreshing green escape much appreciated by locals. For culture enthusiasts, the Rennes Opera, the TNB (National Theater of Brittany), and various museums like the Museum of Fine Arts enrich the offerings within walking distance.

As for restaurants, several nearby spots allow you to discover local gastronomy. The Saint-Georges Creperie offers a modern twist on Breton classics, while the Café Breton provides a warm ambiance and a menu focused on fresh products. For more contemporary cuisine, L’Arsouille combines natural wines and inspired dishes in an unpretentious yet lively setting.

Throughout the year, Rennes also hosts numerous events: Trans Musicales, the Mythos festival, exhibitions, fairs… From the hotel, you only need to step out the door to immerse yourself in the city’s rhythm. Whether you stay for one night or several days, everything seems designed for you to enjoy Rennes your way.

Just steps from the train station yet shielded from its hustle, Le Sévigné is a base that allows you to experience Rennes with ease. Comfort without ostentation, thoughtfully designed services, a warm welcome, and an ideal location: everything contributes to making your stay pleasant, simple, and seamless.
