Hôtel La Petite Rade Le Havre

3-star hotel

Presentation

A few steps from the beach, on the edge of the shifting waters of the English Channel, the hotel La Petite Rade invites you to a stay where time seems to stand still. Located in Sainte-Adresse, on the outskirts of Le Havre, this establishment offers a breathtaking panorama from the very first moments. The sea stretches as far as the eye can see, and each room, designed with an elegant marine spirit, provides a gentle and soothing immersion facing the ocean's movements.

Crossing the threshold, the feeling of embarking on a unique journey comes to life. The building, with its lines evoking a docked liner, welcomes you in a warm and lively atmosphere. Once you take the elevator, just a few steps lead you to the beach where you can enjoy the simple pleasure of walking along the water's edge, breathing in the salty and invigorating air.

The hotel's sixteen rooms stand out for their refined comfort and decoration inspired by great transatlantic liners. Blending discreet modernity with a tribute to maritime tradition, they create a cocoon that fosters relaxation. The spaces, some extended by a private terrace or balcony, welcome natural light and maintain a constant dialogue with the sea.

Each room is equipped with everything necessary for a serene stay: quality bedding, functional workspace, satellite TV, safe, free Wi-Fi, and a courtesy tray with tea, coffee, and treats. Some rooms even offer facilities adapted for guests with reduced mobility, ensuring a hassle-free stay for everyone.

In the morning, the buffet breakfast, served in the dining room or in the privacy of your room, accompanies the first rays of sunlight over the estuary. Fresh and local products can be savored while watching ships slowly glide towards the horizon. On weekends, service is extended to allow for a longer enjoyment of this timeless moment.

The Pub of La Petite Rade serves as a true beating heart. Open to all, it extends the hotel's convivial spirit with a panoramic terrace just above the waves. The menu combines tapas, burgers, aperitif boards, craft beers, carefully selected wines, and inspired cocktails. The atmosphere alternates between festive and relaxed, punctuated by live concerts, sports broadcasts, or regular happy hours.

For those who want to stay active, a fitness room allows you to sustain the energy from beach walks. Free Wi-Fi throughout the establishment is available whether you're traveling for business or leisure. A free parking lot nearby completes the facilities aimed at making your stay more convenient.

While the Pub's lively atmosphere occasionally enlivens weekend evenings, the hotel's convivial ambiance and the team's attentiveness ensure everyone's comfort. It's always possible to express preferences to enjoy a quieter room if needed.

The hotel's location is ideal for discovering the treasures of Le Havre and the Normandy coast. Just a few minutes away, the famous Hanging Gardens invite you to a botanical stroll above the city, while Saint-Joseph Church, a masterpiece by Auguste Perret, impresses with its bold architecture and interior light.

On foot, it’s pleasant to stroll along the seafront promenade, head to the city center to explore the André Malraux Museum of Modern Art, or linger in front of art galleries in the Saint-François district. Le Havre's reconstructed center, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, also deserves a careful visit for its uniqueness.

By car, the cliffs of Étretat offer a stunning natural spectacle, less than a thirty-minute drive away. Honfleur, with its old harbor and half-timbered houses, also makes for a charming getaway. Further afield, Deauville and Trouville-sur-Mer will captivate with their iconic beaches and elegant ambiance.

For food enthusiasts, several quality restaurants await near the hotel. Just steps away, Le Grignot offers generous market cuisine, while L’Adresse, in the heart of Le Havre, combines fresh products with contemporary inspirations. For a more traditional experience, Michelin-starred Jean-Luc Tartarin will delight the most refined palates.

Don’t miss the chance to visit the Maison de l’Armateur, a unique dive into the city's maritime history, or plan an outing to the Volcan, an iconic national stage designed by Oscar Niemeyer, where shows, concerts, and exhibitions punctuate the local cultural life.

Whether you're coming for a romantic getaway, a family seaside retreat, or a business trip with a desire for a coastal setting, La Petite Rade in Le Havre offers a simple, authentic, and rejuvenating experience, with the sea as your constant witness.
