Hôtel François Premier Cognac Centre

Great hotel in Cognac and right in the lovely part of town. Easy walk to the river and the various cognac houses. Service was nice and friendly at the hotel. The room (29) was excellent and very roomy with two toilets. Terrible view but that was fine as it was quiet. Recommended.

The best place to stay in Cognac. The staff are very friendly and smiling, the room very nice with a view towards the center. The beds are very comfortable, and the breakfast area are very plesant and nice, like the breakfast as well. Always nice and clean hotel. Will come back for sure, my favorite hotel i Cognac.

I’m just concluding a 2 week stay at Francois Premier Hotel in Cognac. I previously reviewed this hotel in July 2022 when I said I loved the hotel but knocked a star off my rating as the hotel had some serious WiFi issues at the time. I’m happy to report that the WiFi is now amazing (fast and reliable) and you don’t have to login daily and there don’t seem to be to be number of device limits. The other big change. My room had a brand new beautiful large Philips TV with included streaming services. Still the best hotel by far in Cognac!! Also to note: maintenance, continuous improvement, staff friendliness and engagement! The quest for quality never seems to stop!

Wonderful hotel. Very helpful and friendly staff. Fantastic location right in the centre of Cognac. Great breakfast and ate dinner in a restaurant nearby owned by the hotel. Very good meal and friendly staff.

What can I say? Beautiful rooms in an old style. Good breakfast. Swimming pool. Nice people that work there.The hotel is close to both food, restaurants, shopping and the big cognac distilleries. Nice stay indeed.

This was a last minute booking and we were very lucky. A thorough classic where things are done properly, seamlessly and with panache! If you are looking for somewhere to stay then choose this…. It even has a beautiful cathedral of a car park!

Lovely few days spent at this hotel whilst in Cognac for a friend’s wedding. Wonderful location, in centre of Cognac. Staff were very friendly and helpful and made our stay very enjoyable. Room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Lovely shower in bathroom .

Right from the start I received a warm friendly reception from the housekeeping team who were always available and there to please. Room 14 on the first floor, a quiet bedroom overlooking Place Françoise, with all mod cons and comfortable furnishings. Every morning in the dining room a delightful buffet breakfast consisting of a wide variety of fresh local produce. - A good hotel that you can come home to relax after a busy day sightseeing. - Geoff Ayton

We stayed at the Hotel Francois a year ago while researching accommodations for our daughter’s May 2023 wedding. We were impressed with their spacious, clean rooms, helpful staff, and the great location, right off the main square. We loved the hotel so much that we reached out to reserve a block of rooms for our wedding guests. Sophie worked with us to reserve rooms and was helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. My guests loved their stay and many of them mentioned a gentleman named Gary at the front desk who went above and beyond to make their stay comfortable. He helped get guests loaded on wedding shuttles, assisted with some who needed to send wedding luggage home before further travel, and even helped a guest recover an earring that fell down the drain!! If you plan to visit Cognac, this is where you want to be!Beautiful rooms and an amazing staff! Thank you Hotel Francois for being such a special part of our wedding weekend. We are grateful!
