    • Mercure La Rochelle Vieux-Port Hotel – A 4-star experience in the heart of the city

      Completely renovated in 2023, the Mercure La Rochelle Vieux-Port hotel is a true urban gem, ideally located on the Old Port, next to the aquarium and the Ferris wheel. This 4-star hotel welcomes you year-round for your business or leisure stays in a contemporary and inviting setting.

      With its 150 modern rooms, including 13 suites, the hotel offers a variety of atmospheres and comforts. From standard rooms to Privilege rooms, and even Junior, Deluxe, and Signature suites with terraces, jacuzzis, and breathtaking views of the fishing port and the Towers of La Rochelle, each space has been designed to combine style, well-being, and panoramic views of La Rochelle. Fully equipped rooms for guests with reduced mobility are also available.

      Located a few minutes' walk from the SNCF train station, the ENCAN area, the city centre and the main tourist sites such as museums or beaches, the hotel benefits from a privileged location for discovering La Rochelle on foot or by bike.

      The hotel has been awarded the Green Key label, a guarantee of its commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism.

    We slept very poorly: the ventilation in the rooms was faulty, and the only alternative was to open the windows and replace the excessive heat with outside noise (in EVERY room!). Having accidentally broken the thermostat while trying in vain to regulate the temperature, I was honest enough to report it to reception, and the hotel had the audacity to charge me for it... Accor has lost a customer!

    Very hospitable staff. The receptionist had just started working there but you wouldn't have noticed; friendly, good explanation about the hotel, etc. We will definitely come back! Beautiful view of the harbor.
