Mr & MRS Smith HÔTEL Chais Monnet

We had an excellent one night stay at the Chais Monnet while visited Cognac and the surrounding area. It was just a delight from start to finish. The staff on reception were excellent and we were shown personally to our room, something we had never experienced before. Our room was in the Cap modern building at the back of the property and was far larger than we expected. Despite being in a modern building, the room was beautiful and in a calm and classical French style. The room and amenities were exactly as described online and we couldn’t have been happier. The weather was very hot during our stay however we managed to use the pool area. Our only issue was that people seem to put towels down on loungers while using the pool and then not take them when they leave. Another guest was able to point out which loungers were actually free which was very useful, however this could be more closely monitored. We did not have time to use the spa, however it looked amazing! Due to the heat, the rooftop bar was closed that evening, which was a shame, however they opened the Jazz Bar instead and it was a lovely place to relax with a drink before dinner. Everything at the Chais Monnet was five star and we couldn’t have hoped for more. We will definitely return in the future.

This is a very special place in the heart of Cognac. You are walking distance to the main Cognac houses but you feel like you are in a very sophisticated resort. Everything is stunning, the gardens , the rooms, the spa & pool, the restaurant and the bar. It is a real gem! The service is impeccable and the activities offered by the hotel are fun such as the vintage car that you can take to have a picnic in the vineyards.

We spent a very enjoyable two night stay in this hotel, part of which used to be a distillery. Not knowing that the entrance was through an arch and down a long drive, it took us a couple of drives around the block to find it. There was lots of free parking, some of which was under cover and it was within walking distance of the centre of Cognac. The reception ares are light and airy, due to the large amount of glass used in the construction of the hotel. There are water features along each side of the paths connecting different parts of the building. The roof top bar had far reaching views over Cognac. The swimming pool was superb. I also enjoyed the rain shower experience with a simulation of rain forests, thunderstorms etc. Whilst we were there I had an enjoyable massage. The only slight criticism was that the breakfast was not explained to us, nor were we given a menu (there was a choice of either a la carte and buffet or a limited continental). We enjoyed the breakfast each morning but did find that it was a little expensive. Reception staff were delightful; we will be back next year!
