Hotels with Bars in Picardy

The InterContinental Chantilly Château Mont Royal. It has an interesting history. The original chateau building was constructed in the early 20th century by the architect Guillaume Tronchet in the Louis XVI style. The chateau was originally built as a country residence for the aristocracy of the early 20th century, and the architecture still shows the features of the ”transition” - the classical austerity of the Louis XVI style is intertwined with the light eclecticism of the Belle Époque. The hotel is located in the Chantilly forest, which creates a sense of a secluded reserve surrounded by Nature . Despite the proximity of Paris (only about 40 km), the hotel remains a quiet refuge in the forest - a feeling of being in a country castle rather than just a hotel. The hotel has 109 rooms and suites, the interiors of which are inspired by the bionic environment, the equestrian traditions of the region and the subtleties of Chantilly lace . Many rooms have a view of the forest, and many have balconies or terraces. Unfortunately, there is a highway nearby, and the noise sometimes reaches the hotel. This disrupts the peaceful atmosphere. The chateau has two restaurants: L'Opera, located in the former music salon, and Le Stradivarius, which occupies the former library. The latter is quite small, and when there are many guests, it can become noisy. The restaurants offer dishes made with local ingredients, such as game, cheese from Picardy, and, of course, the famous ”à la Chantilly” cream. The cuisine is excellent, and I highly recommend it.

The hotel room has a good view. It is a small surprise to pass by. You can also come to the town early. It is very beautiful. The front desk service is of European standard level, the room has no drinking water, everything else is very good. In addition, this hotel is ten minutes away from the airport. Whether it is the airport-hotel or the hotel to the airport, it is about 25 euros. Friends who consider the budget are cautious. You can consider walking closer.

This hotel has a great overall atmosphere, it's clean and tidy, with a comfortable and cozy decor. The room gets good natural light, the bed is neatly made, and it's very relaxing to stay in. The surroundings of the hotel are also quite quiet, so you won't be disturbed at night. The common areas are very well maintained, making for a very comfortable feel, and the overall stay was excellent.

I've stayed in this chain-branded hotel in many cities and countries, and offerings are pretty much across-the-board equal. Though this Amiens branch was much more expensive than other cities/countries, all offerings were the same. I found the standard double room to be much smaller than other cities, which was a surprise. No kettles were standard and I later found out I needed to ”pre-ask” for one in my room, I received one the second day, though I was told there were very few available, thus the need to reserve one. However, this wasn't stated anywhere on the branch's specific page. The room irself, again, was much smaller than other B&B Hotels I've stayed in. The shower was pretty much ridiculous, as it had a single setting and needs replacing with one that works -- the water from the showerhead did nothing but spray outwards in all directions, getting everywhere. I tried cleaning it and seeing if the tiny holes could be moved, but was unsuccessful. If it was for one night, it would've been tolerable -- I stayed four nights and trying to take a shower to actually wash one's body was nothing more than a chore. It was even difficult to wash one's face as the water shot out to all sides. I'm surprised that the room cleaners have never mentioned this to the managers. Perhaps they have, but there's not really any ”caring” or ”concern”? I don't know. The bar and restaurant were closed for the entire time I was there, with the exception of breakfast. The bar's ice machine was turned off so no ice was available -- thankfully, as it was quite hot for most of the time I was there, one receptionist turned it on and so I was able to have all the ice I wanted for my drinks. Thanks for that! There was a microwave available for guest use, which was also helpful as I found Amiens a bit spendy for eating and so bought most of my food from supermarkets. Had I not had a special members' rate for multiple days that included breakfast, I would not have spent extra money on that feature. I don't know what was going on in the kitchen the first two weekend mornings but the hot food was pretty dismal, but got better the next two days. Price-quality didn't match. Would I stay again here or recommend? Probably not. This is a large tourist city with many, many comparably priced hotels. I'm a big fan of the brand. but just not this specific branch.

Probably you have a car if you would like to stay here. It’s a house in a typical Netherlands town. I would prefer a bit higher temperature in the room, cause the cover a bit thin, when it’s cold at night. Plus, bedroom is on upstairs of the room. A shared mini kitchen with a microwave n tablewares. Just heard the next door guest coughing in the morning, which woke us up earlier.

Excellent location. Exceptional location! ( Conciergerie et tennis au top! ) However, not bad points to improve... - The spa is very complicated: swimming pool filled with children, sauna and hamam bondé... Massage was very good even if a little cheap - Very noisy : Breakfast / restaurant with huge families, children in the low age... It would be good to make a family corner !! - Service that leaves to desire in the price (no luxury codes, for example) even if the restaurant staff was very sympathetic! - Restaurant : Map of wines very limited, breakfast quite limited for the supplement of €25/ person, the restaurant is good but a lot of supplement ( meat/fish buffet that is actually a barbecue where you have to pay a surcharge for a beef coast...) In short, very good hotel but still expensive for the offered services... It could be really exceptional if some things were fixed !

Everything was fine during my stay – the service was good, the room was clean, and I didn’t have any problems. Overall, I really liked it. The only thing I want to mention is that, although the hotel description says they offer transport, they actually don’t provide any transportation. They only give you information about how to get to the train or bus stations.

Really lovely all-round. I think they upgraded my room from 'Economy' to a lovely one in the main Chateau, and it was lovely - really a suite! The staff were all excellent, and next time I'll be trying the dining room, which seems lovely (and nice to see a waiter in a jacket and black bow tie for once!) Right by the ruins of the castle, and when I left at first light I saw lots of rabbits jumping around!

Hotel very well positioned, clean room. Good service. Breakfast is convenient. However, the rooms are badly soundproofed, you can be quickly disturbed by the noise indoors (in the corridors and neighbouring rooms).

We chose this place to spend the night before the plane, as the flight was early in the morning. We got there by taxi in 10 minutes. There is a microwave to warm up food if necessary. There are shops nearby, which is convenient, but we arrived late and did not have time to go) in general everything is good, although the room is small, we slept well!)
