Fodor's Expert Review Le Relais Louis XI

2 rue St-Pierre, Meung-sur-Loire, Centre-Val de Loire, 45130, France

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

King Louis XI built this pretty stable complex in the late 15th century to provide quality accommodations for his horses, knights, and blacksmiths; now it’s been converted into a slick modern hotel. Large-windowed guest rooms manage to be both minimalistic and charming, glowing in white-on-white and chic pastel hues, warmed with working fireplaces. Centered around a spacious courtyard, the picturesque retreat also has a rose garden and a "bio-gastronomic" pink-walled dining room that serves lunch and candlelit dinners.
