Newly renovated and modern, Novotel Tours Centre-Gare **** invites you to a comfortable and relaxed stay, just 200 metres from the train station and in the heart of the city of Tours. From the hotel, you can take a nonchalant stroll towards the nearby shops and Palais des Congrès.

The lobby is splashed with auburn, orange and lime chairs and sofas as you enter the spacious and airy establishment, warmly welcomed by the smiling staff.
Our classic room oozed contemporary comfort with fashionable carpeted floors and modern furniture. The warm neutral colours are broken up with a boldly coloured painting propped behind the bed. The bathroom was elegant and spotless, with cute complimentary toiletries.
