This is such a fun change of pace after the ch teau: start with the theatrical magic show, then explore the rooms filled with tricks, old objects, and hands-on illusions. Leave time for the smaller magic demonstrations too - they add a wonderfully pl...
Robert-Houdin House of Magic
I'd keep Beelodge Hotel Blois Centre in mind when you want a straightforward base for exploring the city. It fits neatly into an itinerary built around the ch teau, the magic museum, and easy wandering through central Blois.
Beelodge Hotel Blois Centre
Give yourself time to look beyond the grand rooms here - the original furniture, wallpaper, tiles, paintings, and vases are what made the visit feel especially atmospheric to me. Even with a shorter stop, you can get a lovely sense of the ch teau's l...
Royal Château of Blois
Hotel Mercure Blois Centre is a good name to have on the shortlist when you want your stay to sit comfortably alongside a sightseeing-heavy Blois trip. I'd pair it with a day of ch teau wandering and an evening stroll by the Loire.

Architecture lovers, make this your slow-looking stop. The Fran ois I wing is the real showstopper, especially where late Gothic detail gives way to the lighter elegance of the Italian Renaissance; the stonework and gargoyles reward a proper pause.
Royal Château of Blois
Clos des Minimes is the sort of place I'd save for a quieter Blois stay, when the hotel itself is meant to feel like part of the trip. It makes a lovely contrast to a day spent climbing around the ch teau and old streets.

Don't just admire the basilica from ground level - plan ahead if you want to reach the tower. That extra bit of preparation is worth keeping in mind for anyone who loves seeing a city from above.

H tel De France Et De Guise - 1891 is one I'd consider when you want your accommodation to feel connected to Blois's historic centre. It suits a trip focused on stepping out for old-town walks, ch teau views, and unhurried evenings.

The nicest thing about this museum may be the welcoming feeling from the people working there. It's a small detail, but friendly staff can make a museum stop feel much more relaxed and personal.
Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
Novotel Blois Centre Val De Loire feels like a sensible option for travellers who want a dependable base between sightseeing days. I'd use it as the practical anchor for mixing the royal centre with Loire walks and nearby ch teau outings.

Foix Tower is a brilliant little viewpoint with a big payoff: from this remnant of Blois's fortified past, the Loire opens out into a genuinely panoramic scene. On a clear day, you can even look toward the rooftops of Chambord, which makes the climb ...

Appart'City Classic Blois is the one I'd look at when you prefer your stay to feel a little more flexible than a traditional hotel room. It makes sense for travellers who want a comfortable base while fitting the ch teau, museums, and river into thei...
