The charming and historic Hotel Meurice offers mid-range accommodation in central Calais, near ferry and Eurotunnel terminals. Old World interiors are reminiscent of the property's 1771 origins, and though rebuilt following WWII, grandeur still dominates. The 39 rooms have classic French charm, plus modern amenities that include flat-screen TVs and electric kettles, as well as lovely jetted tubs in some. However, they lack air-conditioning and fridges, and some past guests report unpleasant odors. Due to location and palatial decor being its biggest features, hotel amenities are limited. A breakfast buffet with cooked and continental options is well-reviewed, and spacious lounges extend to a sophisticated bar, but there are no wellness facilities or a full restaurant. Compare rates with the similarly priced Cottage Hotel, which loses the opulence, but has an eatery.
