Hotel & Spa Le Grand Monarque, BW Premier Collection suits couples and short-break visitors who want to walk to the cathedral and the old town. It holds an official 4-star rating and scores 8.9 out of 10 from 1,182 reviews. The location score is 9.6. Family rooms are listed, and pets are accepted according to the listing.
If an included spa matters to you, this may disappoint. Guests say pool and sauna access costs extra and must be booked. Travellers on a budget will find our other two Chartres picks much cheaper.
Location and getting around
You will find it at 22 Place Des Epars. Guests describe a central setting near the cathedral and the train station, with easy walking access to town.
Chartres Cathedral is about 0.5 km away, roughly 6 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate. Our data does not include walking times to other named sights. Guests mention a valet service, which helps if you arrive by car, but its cost is not confirmed.
What guests say
Location gets the most praise, with the cathedral, the station and the town all within walking distance. Staff are described as friendly and professional, offering helpful advice and a convenient valet service.
The spa divides opinion. Guests find the pool and sauna well maintained, but access requires an extra fee and a reservation. Book a slot early if you want to use it.

Why it made our top 3
Seven eligible hotels in Chartres were compared. This one shared first place on guest score. Our Luxury category prioritises five-star hotels, and a four-star hotel qualifies only with a score of at least 8.5. With an official 4 stars and an 8.9, it met that bar.
