The Hotel Oceania L'Univers Tours is an upper-middle-range property that blends a bold, contemporary design with Belle Epoque accents. It's well-located, set a 10-minute walk from major sights and the center's numerous restaurants and bars, plus a three-minute walk from Tours train station. The 91 spacious rooms have simple, modern furniture and pops of color, as well as flat-screen TVs with Disney channels, desks, and safes, but no fridges or kettles. A pleasant spa area has an indoor pool, hot tub, and treatment rooms. A tiny gym only has a few cardio machines. The traditional French restaurant serves three meals each day during select times, including a buffet breakfast, while a bar offers the region's famous wines. Travelers wanting a quiet location nearer Loire Valley castles may prefer the feature-packed Clarion Hotel Chateau Belmont. 

The upscale 17th-century Clarion Hotel Chateau Belmont sits on six acres of well-maintained grounds and offers an array of features including a traditional French restaurant, bar, conservatory lounge, stately parlors, and a dining terrace. This historic property also has a lovely indoor pool, as well as a stylish spa, a small fitness center, and two contemporary meeting rooms. Decor in its 65 spacious rooms and suites varies from classic French to contemporary, and some rooms are equipped with kitchenettes. This location is near the Loire Valley castles, but travelers seeking something closer to the old town attractions might want to consider the Hotel Oceania L’Univers Tour.
