Formerly home to a candy factory, this reimagined hotel is retro and modern all at once.
The Charmant Hotel has a deep connection to the history of La Crosse, Wisconsin. The hotel sits on the site of the very first building in La Crosse, a log cabin built by fur trader Nathan Myrick, the founder of La Crosse. While that cabin no longer stands, the current building has called this space home since 1898—with no signs of fading away. Visit this pillar of La Crosse history for an unrivaled hotel experience.
The only boutique hotel in downtown La Crosse.
The Charmant Hotel displays its history proudly in as many ways as it can. This renovated building was once home to a candy factory, which produced a premium line of chocolates called Charmant. With preservation in mind, some of the original wood flooring, beams, and exposed brick are at the forefront. And when you visit, pay close attention—some say you can still smell the sweet scent of candy.
Savor the 'suite' life.
Each of the eight room types offers a flat-screen HDTV, Euro-top mattress, double vanity, rainfall shower, hairdryer, C.O. Bigelow bath products, iron and ironing board, desk, and complimentary WiFi. And since no two stays are the same, some rooms also offer additional amenities like bathtubs, sleeper sofas, extra sitting areas, and private balconies with views of the Mississippi River. No matter which room you stay in, you'll be greeted by a special treat from Indulgence Chocolatiers.
From delicious breakfasts to late-night indulgences, this boutique hotel offers an incredible variety of dining options onsite seven days a week. Start with a caffeine fix at The Parlour's coffee bar. Fuel your day with a visit to The Restaurant to savor French-inspired dishes for breakfast—and maybe again for lunch and dinner. For a sampling of the best local brews and cocktails, drop by The Lobby Bar & Lounge. And during the warm season, ascend to the Rooftop Terrace for a handcrafted cocktail and wood-fired pizza paired with a breathtaking view of the city. Finally, give in to temptation at The Sweets Bar, where handmade chocolates from Indulgence Chocolatiers are available for purchase 24 hours a day. When you stay with The Charmant, one thing is certain—you won't go hungry!
The Charmant Hotel is very serious about championing everything the region has to offer by sourcing food ingredients from regional farmers and other local vendors. The Charmant Hotel also works closely with local breweries and distilleries to stock their bars. And it doesn't end there. They also have relationships with many local businesses and attractions to provide you with unforgettable experiences of La Crosse and the Mississippi River. The Charmant Hotel also loves hosting canine guests! Any number of dogs of any size are welcome to stay (fees apply).
