Hôtel Le Maxime in Auxerre

Hôtel Le Maxime occupies a former salt store beside the River Yonne in the historic centre of Auxerre. Its position on Quai de la Marine puts the old quarter, local shops and restaurants within convenient reach while retaining a clear connection to the river.

A historic riverside setting

The building was used as a salt granary for many years before becoming a hotel. That earlier role gives the property a distinct place in Auxerre’s commercial history, although the accommodation itself is described in practical rather than ornate terms. The recorded address is 2 Quai de la Marine, 89000 Auxerre.

The central location is particularly useful for visitors who want to explore the historic district on foot. It also offers a straightforward base for spending time along the Yonne without staying outside the town centre.

Rooms and accommodation

The directory entry records 25 rooms, arranged as doubles and triples, together with one suite. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi and bathrooms with baths are listed among the room facilities. Room service is also described, though operating times should be checked directly with the hotel.

The emphasis is on comfortable, functional accommodation rather than elaborate interior character. Travellers choosing between room types should confirm the present layout and facilities when booking.

Breakfast and shared spaces

Two lounges are used for breakfast. A separate bar occupies an old vaulted cellar, extending the building’s historic atmosphere beyond the guest rooms. The directory entry also says that lounge space can be hired for seminars or family gatherings, with capacities ranging from 15 to 35 people.

In-room massage by appointment is among the additional services recorded for the property. As services and access arrangements may change, availability should be confirmed in advance, especially when planning an event or requesting an appointment.
