What a wonderful place to stay! My mother and I drove into Sedan late at night, looking for the hotel. It took us a few moments to realize that the large castle we were skirting WAS our hotel! We made our way through the entrance which includes a cobblestoned tunnel, and into the big courtyard in front of the ancient chateau nestled in the interior of the battlements with our jaws dropped. Even in the dark we were astounded... THIS is where we're staying?? Holy Cats!
We were enchanted. The room was very comfortable, the beds were perfect, the staff were very accommodating... Our room included breakfast every morning and dinner one of the nights. It was all excellent and I'd highly recommend visitors to have a meal at least one evening in the hotel. We also ate in Sedan based on the recommendations of the staff and were not disappointed.
Don't miss the self-guided tour of the fort! It's well done and takes you both in and outside of the structure, so pick a day when it's not cold, windy and raining (unlike the day we picked... but it was still enjoyable.) Make sure you schedule enough time to visit the shop at the end of the tour as it includes many locally-made foods and crafts.
