L'EssenCiel

"This is a wonderful and unique place, the rooms are ergonomically designed and so comfortable with great views; the spa is beautiful; the glasshouse cocktail bar is stunning and the drinks insanely good; the excellent food is focused on high quality local ingredients; the grounds are full of beautiful old buildings paired with bold art. The location in rural Brittany is perfect for a luxury escape, with the amenities of Rennes just 30 mins drive. It’s expensive of course, but well worth it — we’ve been twice and will visit again."

"The only issue we had was in obtaining vegan food, which isn’t quite part of what they offer yet."

"Unique style outstanding offering and excellent service and staff."

"Catering restaurant qualities offerings were were uneven La Table excellent buffet so so ; breakfasts very good."

"We had an unforgettable stay at The Essenciel Hotel at Le Château des Pères. The hotel’s architecture is stunning, truly a one-of-a-kind design that blends futuristic elements with natural surroundings. The rooms are incredibly cozy, with a minimalist yet modern vibe. Our room had a large, circular window that filled the space with natural light and gave it an intimate feel. The dining experience was fantastic, with fresh and well-prepared dishes. We enjoyed a delicious meal with drinks, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and inviting, with beautiful views of the grounds. The indoor pool area was another highlight—immaculately clean, with a unique artistic touch thanks to a striking diving sculpture. It was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring. Overall, The Essenciel Hotel exceeded our expectations with its mix of modern design, comfort, and tranquility. A must-visit for anyone looking for a unique and relaxing stay!"

"The room was cold, and it took about four hours to warm up with the AC. The breakfast did not have any vegetables."

"Unique design, such a cool experience. The Spa area was never crowded."

"Aucun."

"Overnight stop to meet friends travelling through France. Great location and very good dinner. The "space age pods" were really comfortable, and cool!"

"Nothing"

"From the moment we arrived at L'EssenCiel we knew it was special, the appearance as you drive up is Wow! The staff at the reception desk and everywhere in the Hotel are attentive/polite and professional. The pool/spa area is wonderful, breakfast is a delight and the room sublime. We upgraded our room on site to a Nid Celeste and benefitted from the view on the 5th floor."

"My only concern was the restricted car parking spaces, these are quite narrow and 50% of the car park is dedicated to EV charging - as the majority of these were empty most of the time, regular vehicles often had to park in the spaces. Other than this fairly minor gripe there is absolutely nothing that we didn't like."

"Super cool hotel, with beautiful gardens and excellent restaurant. Enjoyed the dpa pool and saunas. Breakfast had wide variety of choices. Room is large and great decor."

"Having to leave, it is really really nice there."

"The spa was amazing. The beds were really comfortable. The rooms were well designed. The setting was lovely."

"We weren’t that impressed with the food at Re Pères but the staff were very friendly and helpful."

"Great / stunning architecture, park setting, pool and spa"

"Car park quite small and half with ev chargers, so cars were all crammed in the non ev charging spaces together. Dinner was chicken and chips only on a Sunday."

"Unique hotel. Extremely comfortable. Brilliant breakfast."

"Aucun."
