Special features
Tasteful rooms come with wi-fi and a flatscreen TV, but most have something better to look at - the 15th century Italianate gardens.
Also…
There is an open air heated pool. Relax during the day then get ready to party at one of Le Choiseul’s themed evenings, where glamour is de rigueur.
Pillow Talk
Deluxe rooms have a private terrace and garden views. Our favourite was 17, done out in sunny yellows and rose-patterned fabric.
Eat & Drink
Dining in
With its drool-worthy views of the Loire, Michelin rated Le 36 is a gourmand’s delight. Regionally inspired dishes include rack of Aveyron lamb with artichoke puff pastry, sweet pepper and goats cheese, rounded off with melon and fresh raspberry with rice pudding ice cream. If this sounds slightly too haute for lunch, you can enjoy informal eats in the adjacent breakfast-come-bistro room or on the terrace. There's a pretty salon and bar downstairs with frequently changing exhibitions of art and sculptures.
Breakfast
Served until 10:30 in the dining room or 11am in your room.
Room service
Available 24 hours a day.
See & Do
See & DoYou’re close to the spectacular riverside Château d'Amboise, so treat yourselves to a massive cultural intake. Amboise – all very walkable – was also the final home of Leonardo da Vinci, so be sure to visit Clos Lucé, the manor house where he spent his last three years. The grand châteaux of Chenonceau, Cheverny, Blois and Chambord are must-sees, while other gorgeous ones include Chaumont (especially during its annual garden festival) and Valmer (at Vouvray). Staff at Le Choiseul will be happy to help you plan your days.
Take a boat ride along the Loire river or rent some bicycles and explore the region's back roads and villages. See the Loire from the sky on a hot air balloon or helicopter trip, or go Indiana Jones and explore the ancient troglodyte caves dug into the stone behind the hotel, where the king used to store liquid "tributes" from his subjects.
