Run by the Sami family for nearly a century, the Boeuf Couronne Hotel is in the heart of Chartres, France, the famous Normandy city that draws over a million visitors a year.
There are 17 very individualized rooms, all decorated in a contemporary style with a warm, but modern atmosphere. A few steps from the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres, the downtown shops, and heritage buildings along an ancient medieval streets, the hotel is an ideal location to stay. There is also an adjoining restaurant where you can dine for dinner or breakfast.
