Presentation

Just steps from the waterfront and at the foot of the famous Volcano designed by Oscar Niemeyer, a building catches the eye as much as it invites you to enter. Behind its discreet facade, the Best Western ARThotel offers much more than just a simple stay. In this establishment located in the Perret district, the welcome is expressed through images: photographs by Vincent Rustuel, works by local artists, unusual installations. Each floor, each corridor, each door seems to have been designed as a fragment of a gallery. From the moment you enter, you feel the intention to link the art of living with artistic expression, without ever overdoing it.

In this UNESCO World Heritage-listed district, the hotel is ideally located to explore Le Havre on foot. Within a few minutes, you can find the large perspectives designed by Auguste Perret, the beach with its pebbles, lively terraces, and contemporary galleries. The train station is only about a twenty-minute walk away, but bus lines make travel seamless. For those arriving by car, nearby parking allows for quick access, and the hotel also provides easy access for visitors with luggage.

Access to the upper floors is via an elevator that, on its own, is worth a visit. Entirely decorated like a retro-futuristic shower cabin, it sets the tone: here, humor and originality have their place without compromising comfort. Once in the corridors, the artworks change ambiance from floor to floor, illustrating the city under various lights. Photography blends with color, lines, and material.

The rooms are designed as calm spaces, bright and well-organized. Every detail seems to have been adjusted to create an atmosphere that is both contemporary and soothing. You’ll find large comfortable beds, flat-screen TVs, docking stations for mobile devices, and a functional workspace for those who bring a laptop. Some rooms open onto a private terrace with an expansive view of the city. Others offer a more intimate atmosphere, conducive to relaxation.

The art of living extends to breakfast, which features regional products and options tailored to individual schedules. Whether you choose to enjoy a full buffet in the designated room or a quick express format before heading to a meeting, the team ensures everything is ready and served with care.

The "ARTea" tea lounge welcomes you in the afternoon with coffee, a hot dish, or dessert. The space, cozy without being cramped, is perfect for extended breaks, reading, or conversation. In the evening, you can order a selection of French, Japanese, or Italian dishes to your room, prolonging your comfort in complete privacy.

The hotel also offers a fitness room to stay in shape between visits, as well as discreet coworking spaces for business travelers. A meeting room can be made available if needed, and the e-concierge app provides valuable assistance for organizing outings or asking a question at any time.

The overall ambiance is characterized by a kind of elegant relaxation. The team, discreet but attentive, ensures quick responses to requests. An extra pillow, dining recommendations, a forgotten towel: nothing ever seems too much to ask.

Passing visitors often highlight the feeling of a lively yet restful place that accommodates everyone. The hotel attracts a diverse range of guests: professionals during the week, couples on weekends, culture enthusiasts coming for an exhibition or a musical evening. This diversity is reflected in the atmosphere of the establishment, which is both warm and peaceful.

The Best Western ARThotel is also an ideal starting point for discovering the treasures of Le Havre. Just a few streets away, you can visit Saint-Joseph Church, a true visual landmark of the city, whose stained glass creates a unique light at every hour of the day. The André Malraux Museum of Modern Art, located by the sea, offers one of France’s richest Impressionist collections.

The Hanging Gardens provide a lovely green escape, perched on the heights, with a panoramic view of the bay and the port. For those who prefer to stroll through the city, the shopping streets around the hotel feature bookstores, galleries, boutiques, and welcoming terraces.

On the culinary side, several addresses are worth a visit within a few minutes' walk. La Taverne Paillette, a local institution, serves mussels, seafood sauerkraut, and house beer in a lively setting. Le Bouchon Normand offers a more intimate cuisine with well-prepared fresh products. For a more contemporary touch, head to Jean-Luc Tartarin, a Michelin-starred restaurant, about ten minutes away by car.

If you wish to explore the region, the cliffs of Étretat are accessible in about thirty minutes. Honfleur, with its picturesque port and galleries, is within easy reach, as are Deauville and its famous boardwalk. The more rugged Pays de Caux reveals preserved villages and gentle landscapes.

Whatever your plans, this hotel offers a lively, comfortable setting that’s always a little surprising. Here, you’ll find a place to confidently set down your bags while enjoying everything the city of Le Havre has to offer, blending modernity, history, and openness to the sea.
