With over 230 (May 2012) hotels in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom. Premiere Classe (PC) hotels are part of the Louvre Hotel Group owned by the American company Starwood Capital which includes Campanile Hotels, Kyriad and the Luxury Concorde Hotels.

Locations

PC Hotels are usually found on the outskirts of towns and cities. although there are a few at City Centres. The advantage for travellers is that a lengthy delay driving into the centre of a town or city is not required as the hotels are close to the main higPC Hotelhways. That said, there a few PC hotels in city centres where they offer tremedous value.

Rooms

These hotels do have the advantage of en suite facilities. These take the form of a small cubicle containing a washbasin, shower and WC. Access to rooms is from the outside of the buildings via stairs / balconies. Entry to rooms is afforded by using an entry code or an electronic key card lock. You obtain the code / key card after renting a room at Reception or at the electronic booking machine outside. These are very convenient if you have been travelling all day and need to purchase a room very late at night. They work well, but we once had a problem when we were allocated a room that was already occupied, admitedly in the days when an entry code was used rather than a key card. Fortunately the night Security Guard intervened and a room was found for us.

Rooms again are furnished with double or occasionally twin beds with a single bunk bed above. Disabled bedrooms are available on the Ground Floor. They all have remote control colour televisions. Many also now have free Wifi. This article was updated from a Premiere Classe room!

Drinks, snack and toiletries vending machines are accessible close to Reception.

The breakfast buffet comprises orange juice, coffee, tea, chocolate, french bread, honey and jams. You can eat and drink as much as you desire.
