Les Hauts de Loire

On the 15th May, 2024 we stayed at the Les Hauts de Loire (@h8collection) -part of the H8 Collection (@leshautsdeloire)- in Veuzain-sur Loire. During our stay our hotel room was broken into and we were robbed. At first the hotel refused to believe us and insisted on searching our car and the room for the items and then going through the security footage of our arrival before taking us seriously and finally investigating the matter. After many hours wasted, security footage showed that a man freely entered the hotel grounds through an unsecured gate next to the public road. He then entered the hotel while no one was at reception. The police and the hotel manager determined that he then entered the unlocked office of the manager and used a key to enter our hotel room and steal many valuable items. The manager admitted this openly to the police. The thief can be seen walking out with all of our items past several staff unchallenged. We lost our credit cards, passports and a number of luxury items that totaled over 24,000 euros. We had to rush back to Paris to get new passports, cancel all of our cards. Under French Civil Code this means the hotel was clearly negligent and therefore liable for our losses. However, the hotel’s response was pathetic. The H8 Collection @h8collection has refused to provide full compensation for our losses and instead hid behind their insurance company to deny our claim despite us spending considerable time providing proof of ownership and evidence of our losses. This was all ignored and the hotel insisted on receipts for items purchased more than 10 years ago - an impossible task that they knew would allow them to deny compensation. Afterwards the Director of H8 Collection stopped replying to our emails and ghosted us. We were left with no choice but to sue. To anyone reading this, DO NOT stay at any H8 Collection Hotel @h8collection or resort. Avoid H8 Collection @h8collection entirely. They simply do not care about their guests. While H8 Collection @h8collection, claims to be a high-end establishment, it is nothing of the sort. Security is lax, management is poor and treatment of its customers is terrible. @h8collection #experienceh8 #leshautsdeloire @leshautsdeloire #h8collection #loirevalley #michelinguide

A lovely hotel in a wonderful setting not too far from Onzain and Blois. Our room was large, with modernized bath and exquisite service. the food was incomparable, well prepared from a varied menu. A great get away, whether on bicycles or in an auto. Not much around, and restaurant is closed Mondays.

This was our last hotel visiting the Loire valley, we certainly saved the best until the end. Amazing hotel, beautiful views & superb facilities ( spa & pool & stunning gardens. And lastly excellent staff ! Excellent dining experience all made for a fabulous stay.

Magnificent grounds. All rooms are different. Food is fabulous..Staff very helpful and friendly...cooking school on property
