About a month ago, my husband and I took a little drive to spend our anniversary weekend at the impossibly charming The Charmant Hotel. Nestled on the river in La Crosse, Wisconsin, The Charmant is the perfect romantic weekend getaway. {For my Minneapolis readers, The Charmant is the sister hotel to our very own Hewing Hotel!}
The Charmant is a renovated candy factory built in 1898 - architectural details have been restored and refreshed. It holds the charm of 1898 with the subtle modernization of 2018. Upon checking in, you're welcomed with complimentary chocolates, of course! We visited this candy counter many, many times.
Winter was the perfect time to visit The Charmant. While La Crosse boasts beautiful landscapes and outdoor activities, we opted to cozy up inside and enjoy the ultimate relaxation. I break down my favorite parts of the hotel below:
1. The Parlour // When you walk into the hotel, to your right is The Parlour. Offering coffee by day and spirits by night, this room is one you don't want to miss. We spent much of our time during the weekend sitting on the couch next to the wood-burning fireplace reading, playing games & enjoying each others company.
2. The Restaurant // We dined in the restaurant Friday evening for dinner and Sunday morning for breakfast. Both meals were unbelievable! The restaurant serves rustic French cuisine with options that consist of cafe-inspired classics. We were not disappointed by either of the meals we had.
3. The Rooms // Like any good millennial, I'm a sucker for a brick wall and quirky, minimalist decor. Each room at The Charmant is unique in it's own way - we stayed in a Classic Salle King. I booked our stay late and would have loved to stay in one of the suites, but it turned out, we didn't even need that. The room was spacious, comfortable & similar to the rest of the hotel....cozy.
If you're looking for that perfect winter weekend getaway, The Charmant is it. My husband and I returned home to The Twin Cities feeling relaxed, refreshed & fulfilled from a low-key weekend with so much intentional time spent together. We talked, dreamed, laughed, were transported to another time in this beautiful hotel. A MUST DO in our book!
XO,
Molly
