Sozo

Housed in a 19th-century chapel, Nantes’ Sozo Hotel brings a whole new meaning to the word “divine.” The lobby is located in the former choir area, under a vaulted ceiling that stretches to an impressive height. There’s an extensive wellness center, which is fitted with a sauna, hammam, ice room, and sensorial shower. But the rooms are where you’ll find true bliss. Whether on the chapel or sacristy side, many feature original stained-glass windows and exposed stone walls. Contemporary art and whimsical neon-colored furniture keep the atmosphere from becoming too sacrosanct. Should you come down to earth, Sozo Hotel is found in the heart of Nantes, a short walk away from top sites like the Château des Ducs de Bretagne and Cathédrale Saint-Pierre.
