Best Western Premier Masqhotel

In the heart of La Rochelle, a design hotel steps from the Vieux Port and the Bay of Biscay. Walk to Aquarium La Rochelle, L'Espace Encan and the Maritime Museum. Minutes from the train station and a short drive to the airport and local beaches.

Opened in June 2006 in a modern building, the property offers 76 uniquely decorated rooms and suites. Clean lines, contemporary furniture and original paintings set a discreet-luxe vibe. Rooms feature memory-foam beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, air conditioning, iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, minibars and private bathrooms with tubs or showers.

Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet throughout. Lounge bar L'Ouvrage à Cornes and an on-site coffee shop keep things social. Rent bikes to explore the waterfront, use concierge services, order 24-hour room service, and park onsite (self-parking charges apply). Steps from the old harbor—expect easy sea-breeze mornings.

Complimentary high-speed (wired) internet, a business center, conference space and meeting rooms, plus express check-out for a smooth departure.

Grab a coffee or a light bite at the on-site café, unwind at the bar/lounge, or stay in with 24-hour room service. Buffet breakfasts are offered (weekdays 6:30–10:30, weekends 7:00–11:00) for a fee.
