The pilgrimage to the small French island of Mont Saint-Michel attracts a large number of tourists to the excellent hotels of this place. The Abbey on the Rock is a magical landmark that takes you into the deep past of this place, and the locals call it with deep respect and love — “Mount St. Michael”.
Mont Saint Michel is very popular among tourists and believers, as well as many oceanographers. And all because of the huge number of stories and legends that have accumulated over the centuries since the founding and the geographical miracle — the highest sea tide of the euro continent, which reaches almost ten meters. At the peak of the tide, the fortress can only be reached by boat.
It is a very amazing place that you should definitely visit. But what hotel to choose for an exciting visit and an unforgettable vacation, our rating of the best resort complexes in Mont Saint-Michel will tell you. All you have to do is buy flights to Europe and visit the 709 abbey.

Mercure Mont Saint Michel
Another great holiday hotel next door to the Mont Saint Michel abbey. The residence is located in the coastal zone, surrounded by parkland and just a couple of kilometers from the ancient and great fortress. If you visit the hotel with a rented car, then the free park will be very pleasant for you. All rooms are quite large and free, there is an air conditioning system everywhere. Although the design is traditional, there is still something unusual in it.
The hotel restaurant, quite famous in the region, offers the very best in many cuisines. Le Normandy Cafe & Bar is ideal for relaxing conversations and a great time. The nearby town of Pontorson is just a couple of kilometers away. But the elegant atmosphere and enchanting beauty of the coastal dunes and the proximity of the abbey will hardly make you leave this place.

Le Saint Aubert
And completing our selection of the best hotels in Mont Saint Michel is — Le Saint Aubert, which is located near the bay of the ancient castle. Almost all rooms have their own loggia, which offers a wonderful view of the sea and the abbey of Mont Saint Michel. It is worth noting the excellent equipment, soundproofing and the presence of a small bar counter in all rooms.
Although the design is a bit old, it harmoniously fits into the surrounding atmosphere. You can enjoy fragrant and mouth-watering delicacies on the loggia overlooking the island fortress. The highlight of the hotel is that it is practically absent in many other hotels in the area — a free shuttle service directly to the gates of the castle of the fortress abbey.
