Best Western Hotel Fontaine Argent

In the centre of Besancon, a city rich in history and ringed by green hills, the Best Western Hotel Fontaine Argent is a three-star hotel with a cozy Art Deco character, set near Viotte station and a stone's throw from the Besancon Citadel. Rooms carry the hotel's Art Deco styling throughout, each with a private terrace and a different outlook, from street to garden views, with superior versions adding a small sitting area and suites more space. Connected rooms suit families, and TV, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi come as standard, with a copious continental breakfast of seasonal produce. Vauban's great hilltop Citadel, a UNESCO-listed fortification, rises just above the hotel, with the old town wrapped in a loop of the Doubs River, the Franche-Comte countryside close, and the Jura beyond. For history, architecture, and easy rail connections, the hotel makes a characterful base. Art Deco calm and the Citadel above frame the stay.
