Short breaks in St Malo

The walled city of St Malo (intra muros) is truly spectacular. Known as “the Corsaire city”, St Malo is steeped in history and tales of piracy from times gone by. The quaint cobbled streets are bustling with cafes, and restaurants. There are street performers and buskers and shops selling and displaying an absolute delight of local, traditional Malouin and Breton fare.

You can walk all around the town ramparts and enjoy the stunning views out to the surrounding islands and across to St Servan where the origins of St Malo were founded by the Welsh monk Maclow in the 8th century. A walk to St Servan is highly recommended for a look at the stunning 14th century Solidor tower and the spectacular views of the mouth of the river Rance.

Accommodation

St Malo is the perfect short break destination, just a short 1hr 30mins by ferry from Jersey. With our extensive selection of accommodation on offer, there is something to suit every budget for that memorable short break experience:

L’ Univers

L’Univers is a legendary hotel with local Channel Islanders and tourists alike, with its old maritime pub, leather armchairs, warm terrace and unique atmosphere. Facing St Malo’s town hall on the main square Chateaubriand, you can treat yourself to one of the superior rooms overlooking the bustling square with its painters and artists.

Le Chateaubriand

A superb Belle Epoque period hotel with white façade on the main Chateaubriand square. Le Chateaubriand offers 80 rooms in the heart of the walled city and two restaurants, one for alfresco lunch and a panoramic restaurant at the top of the building offering breath-taking views over the sea and le Sillon. Sistership hotels Anne de Bretagne and La Cite are also available.

Cartier

Le Cartier is right next to the main pedestrian of St Vincent street and offers 30 rooms with modern comfort and a first-class stress-free service. They offer excellent rates in the spring and autumn, probably one of the best value-for-money hotels the town has to offer.

Hotel des Marins

Previously called le Louvre, many Channel Islanders have stayed there. Now part of Les Thermes Marins group, it boasts a convenient location right inside the walled city, also known for its warm welcome and efficient service. Fifty comfortable rooms and a secured parking option for an extra charge.

Le Grand Be (NEW for 2022)

Welcome to a brand new 4-star hotel and restaurant. Located on the Freres Lamenais square at the top of the walled city, this new hotel offers spa services (steam room and sauna) and a large South facing alfresco terrace. Great venue for a pampering break.

Oceania

The Oceania is located next to the casino and just across from the main St Malo beach. Still within easy walking distance from the port, this hotel provides a cosy bar and breakfast room overlooking the sea and you can relax and enjoy the on-site Jacuzzi. The rooms are both modern and extremely comfortable, some of which have stunning coastline views. Their Sister 3-star hotel, Escale Oceania, may also be available.
