Located right next to Nantes train station, the Sōzō Hotel is strategically placed to discover the wonders of the city. The station, redeveloped by architect Rudy Ricciotti, is an admirable example of urban transformation. On the north side, it opens onto the magnificent Jardin des Plantes, classified as a ‘remarkable garden’. This green lung in the heart of the city invites you to stroll among rare plant species and century-old trees.
The station district is the ideal starting point for exploring Nantes. A few minutes' walk separates you from emblematic sites such as the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral, and the Île de Nantes, famous for its Machines de l'île. Just a ten-minute walk away, the Graslin district and the Passage Pommeraye will delight lovers of heritage and history.
The proximity of the Sōzō Hotel to the Lieu Unique, a former LU biscuit factory transformed into a cultural centre, further enriches the experience. Here you can discover a varied artistic programme, reflecting the cultural dynamism of Nantes. Also, the Saint-Félix canal and the banks of the Erdre encourage you to explore the city from another angle and add a bucolic touch to your stay, whether you are travelling with family, friends or as a couple.
