A word from the Concierge

Alexandra Palace through the Concierge's eyes

Owned by Network Rail, its history is yet to be deciphered. In Mazières-en-Gâtine, this hotel stands out for its proximity to local gems. Just 153 metres away, Golf Blue Green appeals to sports enthusiasts. A little further, at 341 metres, Château le Petit Chêne invites guests to immerse themselves in history. In terms of gastronomy, Le Daniel's, located 300 metres away, offers a refined culinary experience.

More than just accommodation, the Alexandra serves as a starting point for varied discoveries. However, its internal offerings remain somewhat shrouded in mystery: rooms, dining, wellness, all areas that are not fully revealed. This contrast between enigma and accessible surroundings makes it a unique establishment. With such a setting and the aura of a legendary hotel, it intrigues as much as it attracts.
