Mr & MRS Smith HÔTEL Chais Monnet

Beautifully renovated chais with a nice touch of modernity. Large rooms. Michelin-star restaurant is pretty delicious. Breakfast is more average, swimming pool is indoor (sun-beds outside possible). A bit of a surprise but No Cognac production there…

A quality hotel in the top price bracket striking neo-industrial design. Lovely rooms and nice staff, but few shady places to rest on the very hot days we experienced while we were here. The hotel is more suited for conferences than provide a 5 star service to smaller numbers of tourists. No fresh coffee today. Just a Nespresso machine. In the main restaurant there were few choices for dinner on a Sunday evening. Two dishes that we ordered we poor and were returned. Nicely situated for a walk into the old town along the bank of the river Charentes.

Beautiful hotel with amazing rooms in Cognac. One of the comfiest beds we have had in ages. Well located for visiting the Cognac houses and a short walk to the river. Roof top bar served great cocktails with views across Cognac. Lovely art and architecture and very friendly staff who made us feel very welcome.

Loved the place! Agree with the other 5* reviews. Fab room with all the required accoutrements. Large indoor/outdoor pool. Fab restaurant staff, so gracious & humorous, especially Erwaan in the Michelin restaurant and Tomos in La Distillerie. One small quirk that could be improved. You couldn’t seem to access the sun loungers without going through the spa. Which meant changing into flip-flops provided. It would also have been useful to have a bit of an introduction to the spa.

Everything about Chais Monnet is splendid. The historic site, the architecture, and most importantly, the staff. I had an accident prior to arrival and was thoroughly bandaged. They immediately dispatched a security officer and concierge to examine my would, treat it and rebandage. Truly very, very solicitous care and much appreciated. Our room was quiet, well-sized and clean. The Michelin-starred restaurant cannot be bettered. Very innovative menu. The wait staff and sommelier were excellent and very helpful. The less formal restaurant was fine as well and also had a splendid breakfast buffet. The location of Chais Monnet is perfect for exploring Cognac by foot. We visited Martell, Otard and Hennessey and had excellent tours. For us, staying at such a historic site was a bonus. Everything about the property is well maintained, the building and the grounds. All neat and clean. This was our fourth visit to Cognac. If we have the good fortune to return we will stay here.

Charming hotel in the heart of Cognac with fabulous restaurants, a lovely spa and great views from the rooftop bar! Room was lovely and spacious and dog friendly. They made us feel very special with welcome treats etc. Fabulous river walks and easy access to lots of nice restaurants

We had the pleasure of staying here for 4 nights recently. We enjoyed the bar the spa both restaurants and room service. Happy to recommend everything was just perfect . This hotel is delightful the staff deserve super recommendation for their friendliness .
