Hotels in Calais

Calais may not be a traditional beach holiday resort, but it offers a solid variety of hotels—from budget-friendly basics to comfortable three- and four-star properties. Over the years, I’ve stayed in some of them, and while you won’t find a château experience right in town, the selection is ideally suited for a short break or an overnight stop.

If you’re after extra amenities or more luxurious options, you’ll typically need to head out of Calais proper. However, the town itself features several decent two- and three-star hotels, some of which have great on-site restaurants. There’s also now at least one four-star option for travelers seeking something a bit more upscale.
