2 Best Hotels in Caen, Normandy

A bastion of modern luxury, this quiet hotel is Caen's go-to spot for stylish lodging and dining. Handsome, spacious rooms are decorated in jewel and earth tones and feature sleek, sparkling bathrooms; there's also an elegant, Michelin-star restaurant on-site. Be sure to check for special offers, which sometimes include exceptional dining experiences like cooking courses and private wine tastings.

Despite being in the heart of the city, this hotel, in a restored 12th-century priory, is surprisingly quiet; some of the smallish guest rooms have exposed beams, those overlooking the street are soundproof, and the ones in back look out on the courtyard. Service is friendly and efficient.
